Car Alpha
Vehicle Intelligence Platform

Affiliate Disclosure

Car Alpha is a free vehicle intelligence platform. We earn revenue through affiliate partnerships, which allows us to keep our VIN decoder, recall checker, and AI tools completely free for all users.

How We Earn Revenue

Some of the links on Car Alpha are affiliate links. When you click on these links and take an action (such as requesting an insurance quote, purchasing a warranty plan, applying for a loan, or selling your vehicle), we may receive a commission from the partner company. This happens at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate links on Car Alpha are clearly marked with external-link icons and use rel="nofollow sponsored" attributes in accordance with search engine guidelines.

Editorial Independence

Affiliate partnerships do not influence our editorial content, tool functionality, or the order in which information is presented. Our VIN decoder, recall checker, and AI assistant provide objective data sourced directly from NHTSA regardless of any commercial relationships.

We only recommend services that we believe provide genuine value to vehicle owners. If a partner does not meet our standards, we remove them regardless of potential revenue.

Your Cost

Using our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay. In many cases, our partner links provide the same offers — or better — than going directly to the partner's website. You are never obligated to click any affiliate link or take any action. All of our core tools remain free to use without interacting with any partner content.

FTC Compliance

This disclosure is provided in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). We are committed to transparency about our business relationships and revenue model.
