R. L. Polk & Co.

Warranty service work is an important element of keeping customers satisfied. But what if work is performed on a vehicle that is no longer under warranty? That’s money lost—every dollar avoided in warranty claims, is one more dollar that can be reinvested into your business.

Polk can help you determine if a vehicle is still eligible to have service work performed under warranty. We provide Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) information for all passenger cars, light to heavy trucks, trailers and motorcycles within the U.S. and Canada. We correctly identify, with pinpoint accuracy: vehicle make, year, model, trim level, and engine detail, as decodable from the manufacturer’s vehicle specifications of the VIN.

Polk provides you the ability to correct, decode, trace and verify VINs to help you:

Assess eligibility for warranty repair
Decrease warranty costs
Reduce legal liability
Minimize title washing

Polk Branded Title
