News in 2022

Customer Service has always been a core value to us at Auto Data Direct and our field reps are no different. While their primary function is to bring in new accounts and drive sales, we know how important it is to keep doing the right things for our existing customers and not forget where we’ve come from.

Since 2009 the Junk, Salvage, and Insurance (JSI) industries have been reporting salvage vehicles to NMVTIS in compliance with federal rules. Now the system is being updated to provide better, cleaner, and more meaningful data for the industries that use it. The changes to reporting are slated to go fully into effect mid-January 2023, with a true date to be announced before the end of 2022.

The DOJ recently provided ADD with the attached notice that was issued November 10, 2022 by DOJ for NMVTIS Reporting Entities regarding the importance of timely and accurately reporting junk, salvage and total loss vehicles. The notice is both a reminder about the reporting obligations of NMVTIS entities and to help ensure that consumers are aware of the dangers associated with flood-damaged automobiles.
