Year, make, model and optional VIN help providers prepare.

FAQ
Does TradeYard guarantee the vehicle condition?
No. TradeYard connects requests with independent providers. The inspection provider is responsible for the inspection scope and findings.
Is VIN required?
No. VIN is optional for the first request, but it can help providers confirm vehicle details.
Can the inspection happen at a dealership?
Often yes, if the seller allows access and the provider accepts the location.
