We rely on Locator Technologies for our data. Locator is the leading provider of timely, money-saving information to the auto finance, auto insurance, and towing industries. There are more than 30 million VINs in the Locator system, covering over 85% of all vehicles financed in America.

Payment for VIN searches is by credit card for whichever plan fits your needs.

While LienQuery does provide useful data to towing companies and impound lots, a solution more tailored for those industries is Eimpound.com.

Absolutely! Just call 310-428-7794 or info@locatortechnologies.com and a knowledgeable advisor will be happy to help you.

Yes, but the notifications don’t always make it to the current owner in a timely fashion, or at all since used vehicles often change hands so frequently. Or, past owners receive a recall and choose to do nothing about it.

LienQuery uses manufacturers' data to determine the open recall status on vehicles for the benefit of public safety and to alert lien holders and consumers via Locator Technologies’ vehicle lien database of potential safety issues.

Law enforcement vehicle alerts are available to licensed automobile dealers only. Law enforcement alerts are provided at no cost to authorized businesses involved in the registration, purchase and sale of motor vehicles.
