What it does

VinSage is a free Chrome extension for car buying. Open a used-car listing and get a deal score from 0 to 100, recall checks, crash ratings, owner complaints and fuel cost.

VinSage is a Chrome extension that turns recalls, crash ratings, owner complaints and fuel costs from NHTSA and Transport Canada into one simple deal score. Go to a listing on AutoTrader.ca, CarGurus or Cars.com. On any other site, paste the VIN or the listing text. Click the owl in your Chrome toolbar. The panel opens beside the listing and reads it for you. You see the score, the verdict and every reason behind it, all in one place. One number that sums up safety, recalls, complaints, running costs, age and mileage, with a plain verdict: Strong buy, Decent buy, Proceed with care or Think twice. Recall campaigns for that make, model and year from NHTSA and Transport Canada, plus a link to…from vinsage.app

    Buying a used car in the US usually means paying $40+ for a Carfax or AutoCheck report — or worse, falling into “free VIN check” sites that upsell hidden subscriptions.
