Carjam’s goal has always been simple – to provide the public with free vehicle data

Although there have been many changes that appeared to have erased that possibility, we have introduced some new features that will see an eventual return to free reports whenever we can do that, which are explained at the end of this email. Please read the following information carefully as all of these changes affect you, our valued customers. Read more »

Consumer Information Notice now includes a Fuel Economy Label. And it’s free with every  CIN which is free with every full CarJam Report.

From Jan 2011 onwards the NZTA is about to charge for every access to the Motor Vehicle Register for basic information.

As consumers and voters, we are horrified at this proposal. At present the basic information from the NZTA database is available through CarJam.

CarJam passes this information on as a public service for free. For example, you can currently find out if a car has been reported stolen or if the odometer has been tampered with at no charge (and lots more!).

This service will end under the NZTA’s announcement.

The NZTA claims that these proposed new charges are necessary for cost recovery. However, this information has already been paid for by the public in the form of licensing fees, registration fees, WOF and COF costs. It belongs to the motorists of New Zealand. We do not have to pay for it twice.

Crime and fraud statistics are high and this proposal will undoubtedly result in an increase in ordinary people getting ripped off.

Email the Minister (from the front page), sign a petition, place your comments below and continue to FB about it.

Please note this is an update to a previous announcement.

CarJam are delighted to announce immediate visibility of the “stolen flag” in our free reports. Read more »

CarJam is pleased to announce our new Accounts program. This program is ideally suited to business users who do not want the hassle of paying by credit card for each individual report. A top-up system allows you to pre-pay for multiple reports (minimum top-up $100) and from then on simply purchase with no hassles until the time you need to top up again.
