# 08 - License paths: data providers, OEM repair info, public datasets

> **Superseded in part, 18 Oct 2026.** A red-team pass checked this note against primary sources and found claims that are wrong or incomplete. Do not use a claim from this note before you check it in the claims check table of: [09-redteam-oem-scan.md](view.html?f=notes/09-redteam-oem-scan.md), [09-redteam-parts-data.md](view.html?f=notes/09-redteam-parts-data.md), [09-redteam-reference-data.md](view.html?f=notes/09-redteam-reference-data.md).

Research date: 2026-10-18. Scope: Revv (US startup, AI estimating and supplements for collision shops). Revv holds no licenses today.
Method: public pages, PDFs, terms, FAQs, public JSON, trade press. I did not submit a form, sign up, log in, or use any sandbox key. I read public HubSpot form definitions (field lists only) to see what MOTOR asks for.
"Read 2026-10-18" means I fetched the page on that date. Other dates are the page's own date.
Rule used: a field that no source backs says UNVERIFIED. No field is filled from memory.

This file extends 01, 02 and 06. It does not repeat their findings. Corrections to those files are at the end.

| Sources | https://www.motor.com/developer-hub/ (read 2026-10-18) · https://www.motor.com/daas-sandbox-terms-conditions/ (read 2026-10-18; Terms of Use last modified 2016-02-09) · https://www.motor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/MOTOR_-DaaS_Data_as_a_Service_Development_Handbook.pdf (©2016, 2025) · https://www.motor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/MOTOR_Gen5_Collision_Mechanical_OEParts_eCommerce_ContentDevKit.pdf (v2, 2025-07-23) · https://www.motor.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/MOTOR_Gen45_Collision_Oe_Parts_ContentDevKit.pdf · https://www.motor.com/products-services/data-products/estimated-work-times/ (read 2026-10-18) · https://www.motor.com/sales/ (read 2026-10-18) · https://www.revolutionparts.com/data-terms/ (read 2026-10-18) · https://www.autocare.org/data-and-information/data-standards/subscriptions (read 2026-10-18) |
| Confidence | High on terms and data scope. Low on price, timeline and approval criteria. |

Notes:
- MOTOR's data rests on OEM licenses. Car-Part's notice lists MOTOR-sourced OEM license numbers: GM "License Agreement #2310717", Honda "16203AH", Hyundai "HMA13004", Nissan "MNA15007", Toyota "TMS1008". (https://www.car-part.com/copy, read 2026-10-18). MOTOR lost Subaru data for a time in 2023: "MOTOR is currently experiencing a delay in Subaru data licensing agreements." (RDN, 2023-12-14, https://www.repairerdrivennews.com/2023/12/14/motor-removes-guidance-not-backed-by-subaru-procedures-reaches-licensing-agreement-with-oem/). This is why the package terms say "may be subject to OEM approval".
- Key risk for Revv: one MOTOR end-user license text bans collision-estimate use of parts data. Whether MOTOR sells a collision-estimating use case to a new entrant: UNVERIFIED. Ask this first on the sales call.
- No collision labor kit is listed (see file 01).

## 2. MarketCheck API (incl. NeoVIN)

| Field | Finding |
|---|---|
| Grantor | Market Check Cars, Inc., "a Nevada corporation". 169 Madison Ave STE 57434, New York, NY 10016. (Terms of Service, last updated 2026-03-24) |

| Data you get | NeoVIN: build data from window stickers (coverage "2012–present", varies by make), OEM inventories (2018+), listings (2015+). Fields include trim, `package_code`, `options_packages`, `installed_options_details`, MSRP by source, `exterior_color` and `interior_color`. `exterior_color` = "The manufacturer defined option code and name for the exterior color". Sample: `{"code": "PAU", "name": "Granite Crystal Metallic Clear Coat"}`. (docs NeoVIN data and data dictionary, read 2026-10-18) |
| Restrictions | "Use of the Service must be tied to a live query or user-driven interaction." "MarketCheck data is licensed, not sold, and may not be used to create independent or persistent datasets". Banned: "Cache, store, index, or otherwise persist substantial portions of data ... outside of normal application use"; "train, fine-tune, or improve any generalized machine learning or artificial intelligence models"; "Create synthetic datasets, embeddings, or derivative training corpora"; competing products.

| Confidence | High on price and terms. Medium on paint code: the sample is a Stellantis option code. Whether other makes return the body-shop paint code: UNVERIFIED. |

Fit for Revv: good for VIN decode inside a live estimate. Do not store decodes in bulk. Do not use outputs to train models. Get the enterprise question answered in writing before launch.

## 3. I-CAR RTS OEM Calibration Requirements Search

| Application form | None for data. The Sustaining Partner contact form for "Services and Information Providers" asks name, phone, email (required), company, city/state. "The Sustaining Partner program is an annual subscription." No fee or tiers listed. (info.i-car.com/contact-us/services-and-information-providers, read 2026-10-18) |
| Partner program | Sustaining Partners, Information Providers list: All Clear, ALLDATA, asTech, Car ADAS, CCC Information Services, Entegral, Enterprise, Kinetic, OEC, OPUS IVS, Protech, Revv, Vice ADAS and Evergreen Calibration, VSSTA. Mitchell and Solera are not listed. The page lists no benefits and does not tie RTS data to the program. (info.i-car.com/sustaining-partners, read 2026-10-18) |
| RTS integrations | No public RTS data license or API integration with CCC or Mitchell found. asTech says it integrates with CCC and Mitchell for its own ADAS tool, not I-CAR data (search result, info.i-car.com/sustaining-partners/astech). |
| Steps | 1. Email intellectualproperty@i-car.com or use the Information Providers form. 2. Describe the exact use: calibration triggers shown to shops inside Revv, with links back to RTS. 3. Ask for written permission or a license. These steps are inferred. No published process exists. |
| Time | UNVERIFIED. |

| Confidence | High on terms. No public path exists, so the path is unknown. |

Notes:
- The RTS data restates OEM position statements and procedures. Whether I-CAR can license OEM-derived content to a third party: UNVERIFIED.
- Name clash: "Revv" (the ADAS company, now merged with AirPro) is an I-CAR Sustaining Partner. A letter from "Revv" may be confused with that company.

| Public program | None found. Toyota, Ford and Honda tool/info-provider searches found no published publisher license (web search 2026-10-18). OEM licenses exist as private contracts. Evidence: MOTOR holds numbered OEM licenses (GM #2310717, Honda 16203AH, Toyota TMS1008 and others, car-part.com/copy). ALLDATA says it licenses OEM data directly (search result, alldata.com). Subaru said its data "may be granted for use through authorized channels" under "its standard license agreement" (RDN 2023-12-14). |

## 8. California CDI auto body labor rate survey public API

| Field | Finding |
|---|---|
| Grantor | California Department of Insurance (CDI). The API backs the CDI "Auto Body Survey Search" app at lrssearch.insurance.ca.gov. |
| Cost | Free. No key. `GET https://cdi-autobody-public-api.azurewebsites.net/api/v1/PublicRates` returned HTTP 200, JSON, 338,599 bytes (2026-10-18). Sub-paths used by the app: `/CoverLetter/`, `/PrevailingRateReport/`, `/CustomFiles/download/`, `/VersionsHistorical/`, `/DownloadDocument/` (from the app's main JS bundle). |
| Entity, Tax ID, Insurance, Security, NDA, Form | None. |
| API terms | No terms page on the API host. `/`, `/swagger`, `/robots.txt` all return 404. The app says: "This website allows any member of the public to view and download current labor rate surveys that have been reported to the Department by insurance companies." It also says: "the Department does not approve labor rate surveys that are reported by insurers". |
| CDI site terms | "Information and content found on this Website, unless otherwise indicated, is considered in the public domain. It may be distributed or copied as permitted by law. In order to use any information on this Website not owned or created by CDI you must seek permission directly from the owning (or holding) sources." Effective date 2015-10-09. |
| Reading for Revv | CDI metadata and CDI-made reports: public domain per CDI. Insurer survey files (cover letters, rate reports): made by insurers. The CDI text says to ask the owner for content CDI did not create. Whether insurer surveys filed under Ins. Code §758(c) are "owned" by insurers for reuse: UNVERIFIED (needs a lawyer). |
| Data you get | Survey years 2023-2026 with shop counts (2026: 5,879 shops, created 2026-01-26). 94 insurer organizations, 171 companies, 947 organization-year uploads. Prevailing rate reports per insurer and year. The JSON also returns internal user GUIDs. |
| Restrictions | None stated on the API. Use a low request rate. The host is a CDI vendor-style Azure app and can change without notice. |
| Steps | 1. Pull the list endpoint. 2. Pull per-insurer reports. 3. Store with source and date. 4. Before you republish insurer files, ask CDI and the insurer. Steps 1-3 need no permission per CDI terms for CDI content. |
| Contact | CDI contact: https://cdiapps.insurance.ca.gov/contactus/default.aspx (linked in the app). WebAssist@insurance.ca.gov (web services). |
| Sources | https://cdi-autobody-public-api.azurewebsites.net/api/v1/PublicRates (read 2026-10-18) · https://lrssearch.insurance.ca.gov/ and its main.9c2beb7ca0c3a90a.js (read 2026-10-18) · https://www.insurance.ca.gov/privacy-policy/ (effective 2015-10-09) |
| Confidence | High on access and CDI text. Medium on reuse of insurer files. |

## Corrections to earlier files

- File 01 says no DEG page is titled "Know your estimating system". The DEG sitemap now lists https://degweb.org/know-your-estimating-system/ (read 2026-10-18).
- File 02 open item "does NeoVIN return a paint code": NeoVIN returns an OEM exterior color option code (sample "PAU"). Coverage across makes is still UNVERIFIED.
- File 06 lists intellectualproperty@i-car.com as the licensing contact. The terms give it as the copyright and trademark complaint address. No licensing contact is published.
- File 02 lists hondapartsnow and toyotapartsdeal as the "same operator style". They carry different company names (see 9a).
