How it works

From VIN to OEM manufacturer build sheet in minutes

Four steps, no account needed — and you only pay once we've confirmed your vehicle is covered.

1

STEP 1

Enter a reg or VIN

A UK registration is enough — we resolve the VIN automatically. For imports or unregistered vehicles, use the 17-character VIN.

The free preview identifies your vehicle and confirms a build sheet (and service history, where available) can be produced. Not covered? You can't pay.

Behind the scenes

Where your report comes from

Official manufacturer records

Your VIN is queried against the manufacturer's own build database — the same record a franchised dealer sees. It can't be edited by a seller.

Decoded and formatted

Raw factory codes — typically 60 to 150 of them — are decoded into the manufacturer's own descriptions and laid out as a clean, readable PDF.

Delivered securely

Payment is processed by Stripe — card details never touch our servers — and your PDFs arrive by email with secure download links.

Our guarantee: if we can't produce your report after payment, you get a full refund automatically — no need to ask. Because compatibility is confirmed before checkout, this rarely happens.

The technical detail

Deeper than any free VIN decoder

A free decoder reads the 17 characters of the VIN itself — make, model line, plant letter, model year. Your build sheet reads the manufacturer's production record behind the VIN: the individual order as it was scheduled, built and delivered.

Full factory option list — 60–150 entries, each officially decoded Model, generation, engine and transmission codes, plus engine number Paint and interior trim codes as applied on the line Production date, factory of build and original delivery market Option packages resolved to their actual contents

That's the level of detail a franchised dealer reads from their terminal — for less than the cost of an hour's parking, without an appointment.
