Question 1

What is EASIQ, in one sentence?

Accepted Answer

EASIQ is the private intelligence layer for exotic car ownership — provenance, valuation, service history, roads, people, and an AI advisor that actually knows the car.

Question 2

Who is EASIQ for?

Accepted Answer

Owners and connoisseurs of exotic, collector, and performance cars. Drivers first. Not a fleet tool. Not a CRM. Not a forum.

Question 3

Do I need to own an exotic to join?

Accepted Answer

No. Aspiring owners, long-time enthusiasts, and people researching their next car get full access to the public tools — VIN scan, comps, APEX, the Atlas, the Codex. Membership is for drivers who want the Vault, the Passport, the Society.

Question 4

How do I get in?

Accepted Answer

Apply. We read every application. Tell us what you drive, what you've driven, and what you want from a platform that finally takes exotic ownership seriously.

Question 5

What does EASIQ cost?

Accepted Answer

Public tools — VIN scan, APEX conversations, Atlas, the Codex, comps — are free. Membership unlocks the Vault, the Passport, alerts, and Society access. See pricing for current tiers.

Question 6

Is there a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes. New members start with a trial window to load a car, generate a Passport draft, and put APEX through its paces before billing begins.

Question 7

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Cancel from your account at any time. Your Vault remains exportable during a retention window so nothing you uploaded is held hostage.

Question 8

Who operates EASIQ?

Accepted Answer

EASIQ is operated by EASIQ LLC, a Nevada limited liability company. The footer of every page names the operating entity in full.

Question 9

Is EASIQ the same company as EAS?

Accepted Answer

EASIQ and EAS (Exotics Aficionado Society) are sister brands operated together. EAS is the members' society and ambassador layer. EASIQ is the public platform.

Question 10

What is EASIQ PRO and how is it different?

Accepted Answer

EASIQ PRO is a separate product on the same domain, built for sales reps, independent inspectors, wholesalers, and small dealer teams. It includes the Scanner, COMPS, Surface Inspection, Reports, and an Account hub. PRO accounts do not see Atlas, clubs, events, or Passport — those are owner surfaces.

Question 11

Where is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

On managed cloud infrastructure with row-level security, encryption at rest, and access scoped to your account. We do not resell records to third-party data brokers.

Question 12

What can the VIN scanner actually tell me?

Accepted Answer

Drop a VIN and you get the decoded build, factory options where available, open recalls, current asking-price spread, recent sold comps, and any EASIQ Passport already attached to that chassis. No login required.

Question 13

Do you pull title and accident history?

Accepted Answer

Members can request an NMVTIS-backed title and brand history report on any VIN. Surface-level recall and decode data is free.

Question 14

How accurate is the option-code decode?

Accepted Answer

Highly accurate for most German marques and post-2005 builds. For older Ferrari, Lamborghini, and small-volume cars, factory build sheets are spotty by design — APEX flags low-confidence decodes instead of inventing detail.

Question 15

Can I scan a VIN from a photo?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The scanner accepts a typed VIN or a photo of the windshield plate, door jamb, or build sheet — vision parses it on the spot.

Question 16

Where do your sold-price comps come from?

Accepted Answer

Real sold-price comps for exotic and collector cars — pulled from BaT, RM Sotheby's, Cars & Bids, PCarMarket, and Mecum. Mileage- and color-adjusted. Tuner-aware. A defensible Fair Market Value range you can quote on the phone.

Question 17

How current are the comps?

Accepted Answer

Live pulls at request time. Not a static database refreshed quarterly — APEX hits the auction sources when you ask, then normalizes the results.

Question 18

What does "tuner-aware" mean?

Accepted Answer

A 992 GT3 with Manthey kit, a Singer-restored 911, or a Novitec 812 does not comp against the base car. APEX applies a tuner uplift band to the FMV when the build warrants it, with the math shown.

Question 19

What is in the members-only negotiation terminal?

Accepted Answer

Live sold-comp pulls on any year/make/model/trim, mileage- and color-adjusted FMV range, tuner uplift math, 90-day price trend, the full comp table with source links to BaT/RM/C&B/PCarMarket/Mecum, and a downloadable Negotiation Brief PDF you can take into the deal.

Question 20

Can I export a valuation as a PDF?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Members can export a branded valuation or negotiation brief as PDF for buyer, seller, or insurer use.

Question 21

What is the EASIQ Passport?

Accepted Answer

A signed, VIN-keyed provenance dossier — service events, ownership chapters, photography, verified mileage, and the documents that prove the car is what it claims to be. It lives at a permanent URL and travels with the car for life.

Question 22

How is the Passport different from a paper service book?

Accepted Answer

Books fade, get lost, get forged. The Passport is cryptographically signed, timestamped, and verifiable by anyone holding the link. The car carries its own resume.

Question 23

Who can see my Passport?

Accepted Answer

You decide. Default is private. You can share a single read-only link with a buyer or inspector, or make the Passport public when you list the car. Revoke access anytime.

Question 24

Does the Passport transfer with the car when I sell?

Accepted Answer

Yes. That is the point. Ownership transfers via a verified handoff and the next owner inherits a complete, signed history rather than a manila folder.

Question 25

Can a buyer verify a Passport is real?

Accepted Answer

Anyone holding the link hits the public verifier, which checks the signature against the issuing record. Tampered Passports fail verification visibly.

Question 26

What is the Vault?

Accepted Answer

Your private garage of records. Every receipt, inspection, mod, photo, and conversation about each car — filed automatically when your shop forwards the invoice email or scans a QR code at the counter.

Question 27

How do service records get into the Vault?

Accepted Answer

Three ways. Your shop forwards the invoice to your private Vault email. A counter staffer scans your car's QR code and uploads. Or you drop the PDF in yourself. APEX reads it, tags it, files it under the right chassis.

Question 28

Can I export everything in my Vault?

Accepted Answer

Yes. One-click export bundles every document, photo, and timeline entry for the car into a portable archive. Your records, your file.

Question 29

What happens to my Vault if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

A retention window keeps it intact and downloadable. After that window — and only after escalating notices — records are removed. Nothing disappears silently.

Question 30

Who is APEX?

Accepted Answer

EASIQ's AI advisor. A seasoned marque specialist on call — opinionated, precise, and connected to live market data. Ask about a chassis, a fair price, what to inspect, who to call locally. APEX answers like a senior auction-house specialist, not a chatbot.

Question 31

How does APEX know what a car is worth right now?

Accepted Answer

Live web search across listings, completed auction results, and recent transactions — filtered, weighted, and presented with sources. Not training data from two years ago.

Question 32

Can APEX recommend a shop, inspector, or detailer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ask for a marque specialist, PPI inspector, paint correction, ceramic, tuner, transport, or storage in any city and APEX returns the top names with links. You can save any provider to your Black Book.

Question 33

Does APEX speak my language?

Accepted Answer

APEX responds in any of the ten platform languages. Pricing, dates, and units adapt to your locale.

Question 34

Will APEX ever just make something up?

Accepted Answer

APEX is wired to cite sources and to flag low-confidence answers rather than confabulate. When live data does not exist for a chassis, it says so.

Question 35

How is the Services directory built?

Accepted Answer

Listings are curated by APEX from live web results — factory-trained specialists, independent marque shops, paint, ceramic, transport, storage, and PPI inspectors. We do not endorse third parties; we surface the names that hold up against real research.

Question 36

Are these providers vetted by EASIQ?

Accepted Answer

Not in a formal sense, no. We do not call references, audit insurance, or run mystery shops — and we will not use the word "vetted" to suggest otherwise. An in-house EASIQ Partner program is in development; those listings will be marked clearly when they go live.

Question 37

What is the Black Book?

Accepted Answer

Your private saved-providers list across every category — shops, inspectors, detailers, transport, tuners. Save anything APEX returns, add your own, edit notes, take it with you.

Question 38

What is the Atlas?

Accepted Answer

A curated map of the roads worth driving — Stelvio at dawn, Furka, the Pacific Coast, the Transfăgărășan, the espresso runs nobody writes about. Refreshed quarterly. Built by owners.

Question 39

How often is the Atlas updated?

Accepted Answer

Quarterly refresh of the curated list. Owners can submit roads year-round; moderated submissions land on the next refresh.

Question 40

Does the Atlas work outside Europe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Coverage spans Europe and the Americas, with active expansion. APEX surfaces local picks even where the curated set is thin.

Question 41

How do I open a road in my preferred map app?

Accepted Answer

Every Atlas page exposes a universal "Open in Maps" — Apple Maps, Google Maps, or Waze — instead of locking you into one provider.

Question 42

What is the Society?

Accepted Answer

Verified owner-to-owner. No trolls, no flippers, no anonymous comment section. Real people, real cars, real conversations — gated by invitation and chassis verification.

Question 43

How does verification work?

Accepted Answer

Identity plus chassis. You confirm you are who you say you are and that the cars in your profile are the cars in your driveway. Once verified, you see and are seen by other verified owners.

Question 44

Can I host or join drives and events?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Members organize drives, dinners, and meets through the Society. Public Atlas events show up to everyone; private gatherings are members-only.

Question 45

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Your Vault is yours. We do not sell records, do not list your cars publicly, and do not surface your service history to third parties. Passport visibility is your decision — keep it private, share with a buyer, or make it public.

Question 46

Do you share my information with insurers, dealers, or brokers?

Accepted Answer

No. We do not broker your contact details or vehicle records to any third party. The only entities that see your data are the ones you explicitly grant access to.

Question 47

What if I want everything deleted?

Accepted Answer

Account deletion is in-product. Your records are removed on a defined schedule and confirmed in writing. Backups roll off on their own retention cycle.

Question 48

Does EASIQ work outside the United States?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The platform speaks ten languages, the Atlas covers Europe and the Americas, and APEX understands grey-market imports, EU-spec quirks, and homologation differences. Built for owners who actually travel with their cars.

Question 49

Which languages do you support?

Accepted Answer

Ten languages today, with premium AI translation tuned to automotive vocabulary so a "clutch pack" never becomes a "clutch handbag."

Question 50

Do comps and valuations adapt to my market?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Currency, mileage units, and regional auction weighting follow your locale so a European member is not comping a UK RHD car against US BaT results blindly.

Question 51

What is EASIQ PRO?

Accepted Answer

A separate product on the same domain, built for the trade. Five pillars: Scanner, COMPS, Inspect (surface inspection), Reports, and Account. No Atlas, no clubs, no Passport — those are owner surfaces and would only clutter the workflow.

Question 52

Who is PRO actually for?

Accepted Answer

Sales reps at exotic and luxury dealers, independent pre-purchase inspectors, wholesalers moving inventory, and small dealer teams that want one window with VIN intel, sold comps, condition reports, and an audit trail. Not a CRM, not a DMS — a deal-floor tool.

Question 53

How is PRO different from a regular EASIQ membership?

Accepted Answer

Owner accounts get the Vault, Passport, Atlas, and Society. PRO accounts get Scanner, COMPS, Inspect, Reports, and Account. Separate signup at the PRO front door, separate sidebar after login. One person can hold both — different email, different account.

Question 54

Can I run PRO on the showroom floor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Scanner and Inspect flows are designed for phone — point camera at a VIN plate, walk around the car for the inspection video, hand the buyer a branded PDF before they leave.

Question 55

What does the PRO Scanner do?

Accepted Answer

Type or photograph a VIN. You get the decoded build, factory options where available, open recalls, current asking-price spread, recent sold comps, and any EASIQ Passport already attached to that chassis. The starting point for every PRO workflow.

Question 56

Does the Scanner work with damaged or partial VIN plates?

Accepted Answer

Vision falls back gracefully. If the plate is partly obscured the Scanner returns what it can read and asks you to confirm the missing characters before running the lookup.

Question 57

Can I scan a stack of VINs at auction?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each scan is independent and lightweight — designed for back-to-back use at preview lanes. Results are saved to your Account history so nothing is lost in the rush.

Question 58

What is a PRO COMPS report?

Accepted Answer

A branded PDF that pulls live sold comps from BaT, RM Sotheby's, Cars & Bids, PCarMarket, and Mecum, mileage- and color-adjusts them, applies tuner uplift where relevant, layers in NMVTIS title and brand history, and closes with an APEX verdict. The deliverable you hand a buyer, a seller, or a wholesale partner.

Question 59

How long does a report take to generate?

Accepted Answer

Typically under three minutes from VIN to downloadable PDF. Live web pulls plus an NMVTIS query plus the APEX verdict, then the PDF is written and stored in your Reports library.

Question 60

Can I add my own brokerage logo to the report?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Co-branded layout is a PRO feature — your logo, your name, your contact line in the footer alongside EASIQ provenance.

Question 61

Where do my reports live after I generate them?

Accepted Answer

In a private, account-scoped Reports library. Re-download anytime, send a fresh link to a client, or pull a historical report when a deal closes weeks later.

Question 62

Can I share a report with a client without giving them an EASIQ account?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The PDF is self-contained and downloadable. The Reports library is yours; the client just gets the file.

Question 63

What is Surface Inspection?

Accepted Answer

A guided video walkaround. You film the car following on-screen prompts — paint, wheels, glass, interior, engine bay — and an AI vision pass returns severity-graded findings (cosmetic, moderate, significant), photo crops of each issue, and an APEX verdict. The output is a PDF inspection report stored in your account.

Question 64

Is this a replacement for a mechanical PPI?

Accepted Answer

No, and we are explicit about it. Surface Inspection is exactly that — surface and visible condition. It supplements a hands-on PPI, gives a wholesale buyer a defensible record of the car as received, and catches the obvious damage before money changes hands. A lift inspection still belongs to a marque specialist.
