This app was created for automotive professionals such as dealership managers and salespeople, as well as car enthusiasts and anyone who wants to keep a list of vehicles with photos.
No subscription, in-app purchase or decoding fee is required to use the full features of VIN Inventory.
VIN Inventory quickly authenticates and then decodes the vehicle VIN (serial number) and displays rich details including year, make, model, engine, equipment and optional accessory items. The user may add stock number (or tag number), color, odometer reading, price, and a note about the car. 3 photos can be added using the iPhone camera or Camera Roll. Equipment items can be added or changed. The user may choose to either add the vehicle to their saved inventory list or delete the vehicle after a quick review. Previously saved vehicle data can be edited or deleted from the list and photos can be updated.
The Vehicle List display screen is a scrolling table of all saved vehicles complete with your thumbnail photos. You can email a text file of ALL of the vehicles in your list. Tapping on a specific vehicle causes a Detail View to be displayed with vehicle specifications, equipment options and vehicle photos.
Tap on a photo to see an enlarged image of the vehicle.
Send an email of a single vehicle that includes all of the vehicle info and 3 photos.
VIN Inventory accepts vehicles produced after 1981 (17 digit VINs). Data coverage is for North American vehicles and omits data for exotic vehicles and older vehicles that are not commonly found on dealership car lots.
AutoPlus produces other vehicle inventory tools with such features as upload, download, import, and export of vehicle data, multiple photos, label printing and other powerful functions.
This VIN Inventory app is an extension of our 20-year-old AutoPlus Window Sticker business (a division of Tanner Communications). Learn more about AutoPlus at http://www.AutoPlusNet.com
Reviews
App worked well
SFcarbuyer
This app worked well. It accurately looked up the VIN numbers for a wide range of cars. The option to add a photo was very valuable since it lets you take a new photo right then on the iPhone or lets you add a photo you've previously taken, either on your iPhone or imported from iPhoto.
Not able to export data
Poor features
This app would be great if you could copy or export the vehicle description. This app need to be able to export to ADP, craigslist etc. I would pay more for this feature.
Great App for automobile sales
anavarro
If you want to be the average car salesman don't buy it. But if you feel you want to exceed your expectations then this is the app for you. It works great an helps you be more organized and be and feel more professional in front of your customers. I recommend this app to anyone who is always looking for ideas in how to improve themselves in the industry.
disappinted

Disappointed, whole purpose for purchasing was because I could scan vin numbers in instead of typing them. I sell mopeds, scooters and cycles, and typing in 40 new vins every week is tiresome. I like some of the other products the have for auto dealers, but will not be purchasing those if they cannot get a simple scan function to work. Will be more then happy to edit my review if and when scan function starts working properly on a updated release.
Good

I wish when sending a email it would send all the specs with it. Can't even copy and paste the info. The email function is a great option just not enough info to send to my clients.
Functions very well!

This app does a great job for small time dealers. It's handy to have so when someone calls you can look at the car they are interested almost instantly. The best part is that there is no subscription required!
Scan VIN Bar Code inop for iPad 2

I downloaded the major upgrade for my iPad 2 but the "Scan VIN Bar Code" function disappears as soon as the main app loads. I thought this feature was going to be added for this upgrade? Please add this function for iPad 2 and newer.
We have a winner

Tried just about every VIN decoder in the App Store. This one has a great scanner, fast look-up and an abundance of information. For the $2.00 purchase price you can't go wrong! Most of the others give away the app but require subscriptions hovering around $30.00 per month. Great job guys ?
Problems
TeresaScion
Called the company 6 months ago. I can't export vehicle lists when I add more than 20-30 VINS. A glitch in the new iphone 5? Also when exporting, the photos are not exported out of the app
