For repair shops
Put your work on the
vehicle's permanent record.
Every repair creates a record. Every sealed record belongs to the vehicle — and shows the next buyer, forever, that your shop did the work right.
How the record gets made
01
Service
You do the work and write it up the way you already do.
02
Record
Findings, labor, parts, mileage and photos come off the work order.
03
Verify
Mileage is checked against the vehicle's existing history.
04
Seal
The record is hashed and signed. Any later change breaks the signature.
05
Vehicle
It joins the VIN's record and stays there for life.

Your business name is on it. Prices, customer names and contact details never are — the vehicle's record is public by design, and what you charged is nobody else's business.

Getting your shop on the record
Records reach CarKnown from the software a shop already runs. You do not switch systems and you do not enter anything twice — when a job closes, your software sends the record. Read the publishing rules before your first record goes out.
Start here
Ask your software vendor
Whatever you run today, ask them to connect to CarKnown. It is one POST when a repair order closes, and the integration contract is public. Point them at the
developer page.
Already connected
Use a connected platform
If your shop runs one of the platforms below, ask them to switch it on for your account — the work is already done.
Connected platforms
1 todayScarab OS
Shop management for independent repair shops — work orders, inspections, parts, timeclock and invoicing. Signs the records it publishes.
A short list, honestly. CarKnown is new, and the registry is open on identical terms to any shop software that wants to connect — the same API, the same fields, the same validation and the same trust labels for every platform on it. No vendor gets special standing here.
