1998 Thomas International school bus converted into a motor home. Purchased unfinished by new Felton owners, the inside is complete with Ikea cabinetry and hardwood flooring. It was very nicely done.

Beautiful 2016 Ford F150 purchased from a Texas dealer by the new San Jose owner. As is typical with Texas dealers, they did not supply the required supporting documents but they are handling the registration so somehow they must have ways of making it work.

This 1997 A-Z Mfg PTI Cargo Trailer now located in Vacaville was an example of a trailer manufacturer not knowing that the VIN must be stamped directly onto the chassis as it was not there so had to be properly stamped for the verification. In this case, only the federal certification label was there but that is not sufficient. If you have a trailer of any type, be sure that the VIN is stamped properly.

This 1972 Chevrolet Corvette in Morgan Hill was just purchased from another California owner but had a mistake on the title so needed to be verified in order to correct it.

Very rare split-window 1951 Volkswagen Beetle in Santa Clara is about to be restored by its owner. Very few of these base model cars exist and even fewer in the U.S., this one having come from Europe where it was originally sold when new. Originally grey, then painted blue (possibly for police use in Germany), then beige.

Just purchased from out of state, this nice Austin-Healey in Los Altos needed to be verified so that a title could be obtained in the new owner's name.

This beautiful single-family owned 1983 Buick Regal Estate Wagon was recently brought from Tennessee to temporary storage in Los Altos were we verified it. Later it will be taken to Southern California where the owner lives.

Nice 1974 Triumph Spitfire in Sunnyvale posed some problems due to the replaced hood where the labels are but fortunately the original was still available.

This 2017 KJE Tiny Homes built on a Tru-Trailers Inc flatbed utility trailer, both of Fresno, CA, was verified for the new owner high in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

2007 KZ-RV Escalade 37 REB (5th Wheel) in the Santa Cruz Mountains is on its way to Nevada so I verified it using that state's form, which apparently they allow.

Purchased from out of state dealership.

Latest vehicle for a San Jose recycling fleet, this 2017 Freightliner just arrived today and needed to be immediately verified for a registration appointment tomorrow.

This 2007 Keystone Everest 5th-Wheel trailer was verified in distant and very rural Lockwood which is about a 2½ hour drive south from my closest location. The VIN plate had been painted over and, being black on black, difficult to find but was ultimately readable.

This nice 1962 Chevrolet Impala 2-door hardtop in East Palo Alto posted some verification issues as there were no official supporting documents and the Texas DMV bill of sale that the new owner had was missing a digit in the VIN. The purpose of a VIN verification is to correct this sort of thing but having supporting documents is crucial in doing so. It was also 111 degrees that day (118 outside our car when returning)!

Matching pair of 2018 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 Pickups was verified for a regular Watsonville fleet customer.

Beautiful 2015 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG 4-Door Sedan was just purchased from a Texas dealer by the new Santa Clara owner and verified at our San Jose location.

This new 2016 Ford F-550 was just purchased so needed to be verified before it could be registered for use by a local Santa Cruz, CA lumber supplier.

After relocating from another state, this 2016 Toyota 4-Runner needed to be verified in order for the Sunnyvale owners to be able to register it in California.

Very spacious 38' 1994 Bluebird motorhome conversion was just purchased by its new Watsonville owners. They went immediately to the DMV and had their license plates even before we got back to our Santa Cruz location!

Made by Forest River Inc, this Wildwood trailer now in Santa Cruz still had the Nevada plates and registration so needed to be verified for registration here. However, it was missing the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) sticker which caused issues at the DMV so it's important to be sure that everything is there before I come out!
