What Totaled is

They charge you to find out if a car was wrecked. We tell you everything before that.

Totaled is the verified vehicle data layer for the auto industry. Repair shops are the source. Owners, buyers, insurers, warranty providers, dealers, OEMs, and AI agents are the consumers. Every entry is logged by a real shop, proven by a real payment, attached to a real VIN, and made available to everyone who needs to read it through a public, agent-native API.

The rest of the category is a closed garden. We open the data on day one.

Totaled Score

One number per VIN

The Totaled Score is one integer. The inputs are public.

Every score traces back to verified records, not a vibe. Buyers, dealers, and agents read the same integer.

The badge

One stamp. Every surface.

When a shop joins Totaled, they get a stamp. The stamp goes on Google. On Yelp. On the storefront window. On every Marketplace listing they touch. On every Cars.com row. On every dealer page that lists a car they serviced.

The badge is what verified shops earn. Buyers learn to look for it. Agents learn to cite it. The verb travels with the stamp.

We don’t sell leads

The badge is the door. Not a paywall.

Angi, Thumbtack, HomeAdvisor, Yelp Pro: they auction the top spot to the shop that pays the most, send the same lead to four shops, take a cut on the work, and never tell the customer the shop paid to be there.

Totaled does not work that way. The shop earns customers because the receipts are real, not because they bid the highest.

The lead-gen model

What others do.

·Auction the top spot to the highest-paying shop.
·Charge $20–$80 per lead. Win or lose.
·Send one lead to four shops. Race to the bottom.
·Take a cut of the work that closes.
·Customer never knows the shop paid to rank.

The Totaled model

What we do.

→Verify license, insurance, payment rail. Once.
→Make every verified record public.
→$49/mo for the badge. Lifetime grandfather.
→Quote goes to the one shop the customer picked.
→No per-lead fee. No commission. Forever.

How it works

Three steps. No tricks.

The shop logs the work.

Web dashboard, iOS app, Android app, or sync from your existing system (Shopmonkey, Tekmetric, Mitchell1, AutoLeap, ShopWare). Photos, parts, labor, mileage, attached to the VIN. Every honest repair starts compounding for the shop the moment it's logged.

Payment verifies it.

Stripe and Square auto-confirm the service happened. The "Verified" stamp isn't a vibe, it's a payment match no competitor can fake.

It stays on the VIN.

Forever. When the car is sold, the next owner inherits the record, and the shop's track record carries to a customer they'd never have met.
