WHY USE LEGEND TELL
This is 2023, the digital age where access to information is ready to be shared. Unfortunately vehicle service history is stuck in the 1900s. Current VIN decoding and reporting sites are all copycats of each other and the only thing that is different are fonts, website names and newer vehicle photos. All vehicle valuations are following an outdated model that bases what your ride is worth by “in an accident” “good, bad, ok condition,” “mileage” and how many registered owners it’s had.
Legend Tell is not only new, but unique. We connect the automotive owners and automotive shops in a digital space where VIN reporting holds value. With automotive shops logging vehicle services, protection and maintenance, this directly puts true value to a VIN. Legend Tell provides a transparent marketplace that not only decodes your VIN with basic data, it shows the history of what a vehicle has been through, service after service after service. This is something only dealerships have access to, which keeps new and used vehicle owners in the dark on what they are purchasing. Shops and owners alike have access to a vehicle’s history 24/7/365 at their fingertips.
Legend Tell tackles many of the issues that remain constant in the automotive industry. For starters, we begin to rebuild trust in the automotive industry by giving vehicle owners simple and transparent reports of each type of service that gets done by a Legend Tell registered shop. Having documentation immediately attached to a VIN number, backed with photos and a simple report, help skilled shops assure to their clients that the work they do is just as good, and at times, is better than their local dealership. With methods of appearance protection such as Paint Protection Film (PPF), Ceramic coatings on the rise, having ONE place where this is thoroughly documented with who, what, why and how it was done and have warranty information leaves no questions for anyone what was done.
Legend Tell will clarify the worth of a vehicle. Put two Toyota’s side by side. Owner 1 wants 25k for his and just tells you, “You know Toyotas, they run forever. I don’t have anything other than what the dealership has on it.” Owner 2 wants 30k for his and pulls out his phone, shows you every vehicle service he has had done. With each service it shows all the shop information, photos of the servicing and a life-time maintenance cost. You also see it has protection on the paint that owner 1 is telling you is there but no paperwork on it. Which one do you purchase?
With a Legend Tell service history, each VIN comes with real value that goes far beyond a “great, good or bad condition” score.
As car owners ourselves, we wanted to develop a way to keep track of how well we care for, maintain, and personalize our vehicles. In today's automotive market, there isn't much concrete reasoning behind a car's value assessment. Sure, we've all heard of or met someone with a binder full of service records in their trunk. But imagine a car with photos, videos, and live engine data logs of all the services, upgrades, and warranty information. Which car would you choose - the one with a detailed, live data record or the one without? The one with an appraisal backed by real-time facts, or the one where John just checked off some boxes? Take your time to decide - after all, our competitors are still figuring it out, so there's no need to rush.
As a top-notch automotive service provider, this approach demonstrates to current and potential clients the value you and your shop offer. It shows your commitment to taking the time to properly perform and document services, which can then be linked to the owner's VIN for added value. For the first time, car owners are rewarded with value by choosing such service centers and witnessing direct results through photo-backed factual data that can be accessed for future reference. The more your shop logs and shares, the more owners can see and appreciate your work.
