Questions

Source: WhichTrim

Is anything here a subscription?

The kit, the Car Check and the dossier are one payment each, through Stripe; nothing renews. The one monthly plan is the firm plan for law practices, $299 a month, cancelled any time from its page.

Do I need an account to buy?

No. Stripe takes the payment and brings you back to your document, ready to print or save as a PDF. Stripe emails the receipt.

Does WhichTrim see my card?

No. Stripe handles the payment; WhichTrim never sees a card number.

Will the kit get my repair paid for?

It puts the documented record in front of the dealer and the manufacturer. Whether they pay depends on your warranty, any coverage program's terms and their goodwill policy. It is not legal advice.

What if I need help?

If you experience any issues, please write to info@whichtrim.com.

Is the rest of the site really free?

Yes. Every recall, complaint, bulletin, crash rating and grade on whichtrim.com is free to read, with no account.
