2021 Toyota Tacoma
One vehicle. One permanent record.
Information supplied by an external source — a state, an insurer, NHTSA. The source is always identified. CarKnown never implies it verified these.
Work recorded by the shop as it was performed and published by its platform, which confirmed the shop is the business it says it is — findings, parts, mileage, evidence. Not a judgement on the work.
The finished record is hashed and signed when it is completed. Altering it breaks the signature, so a changed record cannot pass as the original.
