Stop Spinning Your Wheels! Let ADD Help Find that Owner

for Wreckers on Tuesday, March 15, 2011 by Beth Williams

One of the most time-consuming and potentially costly challenges for the towing industry is finding the owners and lien holders for towed vehicles that remain unclaimed. For those vehicles, obtaining timely information for notification of lien can be frustrating at best. That’s why ADD has been hard at work on behalf of our customers to provide access to multiple state DMV databases that help you get traction to complete the notification process.

With ADD’s real-time DMV motor vehicle records for 17 states and counting, along with the Multi- State Title Pointer (NMVTIS), ADD can help towing companies locate vehicle and owner information with just a few clicks of a mouse! With a growing list of available states, tow companies can access detailed state data through ADD’s motor vehicle web portal. Instantly search the appropriate DMV database to retrieve owner, lien holder, and insurer information to complete your lien notification process. Not sure where to begin your search? The Multi-State Title Pointer allows you to search by VIN in the National Motor Vehicle Information Title Information System (NMVTIS) for the title history of the vehicle, instantly providing you with the current state of title and any brands that may have been applied.

Currently, ADD provides access to 17 states with expansion plans for an additional 13 states by July 1, 2011 (See a map of available states). If you are a current customer of Auto Data Direct, then you already have access to search available state vehicle information under the New Query tab. If you do not currently have an ADD account, but would like to set one up, visit our home page at www.add123.com and click on the Sign-Up link at the top of the screen.

If you have any questions about your company’s access to DMV databases or the sign-up process, please [email us](<a href=) at info@add123.com
