Number-Plate Lookup, Gains & Instant Quotes

TunerSuite Feature · Vehicle Hub

Type the plate. See the car, the gains, the price.

Vehicle Hub is a single lookup page for your whole operation: a UK number plate, or a quick make / model / engine pick, comes back as a full spec sheet, the right ECU with tool compatibility, per-stage gains with power & torque curves, and a branded PDF quote. Included in every TunerSuite Ultra license.

One page from plate to quote: vehicle, spec sheet, ECU + tools, verified gains, dyno curve, price, PDF.
Works for your team, your sub-dealers and, if you choose, your customers. Access is your call, per role.
Gains come from your own catalogue figures, never invented, with your real measured dyno runs overlaid when you’ve published one.

Lookup

Plate in. Car out.

Type a UK registration and the portal decodes the vehicle through a licensed vehicle-data connection, then matches it to your own catalogue, year-scoped, so a Golf 6 never comes back as a Golf 5. No plate? A quick cascade, type, make, model, generation, engine, gets everyone to the same result.

  • UK number-plate (VRM) lookup with smart catalogue matching
  • Manual make / model / generation / engine picker for everyone
  • Wrong match? Re-pick the engine in one click, nothing is forced
  • Repeat lookups of a known plate are served from cache, free

Spec sheet

The full picture, grouped like a pro reads it

Every lookup renders a grouped spec sheet: Engine & performance (variant, engine code, engine maker, aspiration, fuel, capacity, power, torque), Emissions (CO₂, Euro standard, economy), Transmission & drive, and Registration (year, VIN, colour), with the vehicle photo where the data provider supplies one. The ECU card shows the family and variants from your own catalogue with tool-compatibility chips, so the tuner knows how the car reads before it arrives.

Gains & dyno

Figures you can stand behind

Per-stage power and torque come from your own catalogue, the figures you maintain, never invented by software. The hub animates them as a before → after headline and draws a dual-axis power + torque curve. Published a real dyno report for that engine? The measured run is overlaid with a “Measured dyno” badge.

  • Stage-by-stage hp / Nm from your catalogue
  • Animated before → after with gain badges
  • Dual-axis power + torque curves, petrol and diesel shapes
  • Real measured runs overlaid when you publish a dyno report

Quote

From lookup to a quote in hand

The hub prices the job live from your own pricing rules, including per-ECU overrides, and generates a branded PDF quote, valid 30 days, that your customer can take away. It also shows how many finished files your network already holds for that engine, so you know before you commit whether this is instant work.

  • Live price from your rules, stages, options, per-ECU overrides
  • Branded PDF quote, valid 30 days
  • “Files ready on your network” count per engine
  • One click from quote into the file request wizard

Vehicle knowledge

Your workshop’s know-how, crowdsourced

Your team and dealers attach practical knowledge to any vehicle: read method, tools that work, tips, plus photos of the ECU location, the OBD port and more. Submissions land in an approval queue; once you approve, the note shows to everyone on the next lookup of that vehicle. The know-how stops living in one tuner’s head.

  • Read method, tools and free-text tips per vehicle
  • Photo slots: ECU location, OBD port, under-bonnet details
  • Admin approval queue, nothing unreviewed goes live
  • Approved notes appear on every future lookup

Network & reach

One lookup account for the whole network

Running sub-dealers? The master shares a single vehicle-data account with every slave portal, one bill, network-wide lookups, with daily caps and staff exemptions you control. And your staff can look up a car without opening the portal at all: a Telegram command answers with the vehicle and its gains straight in your staff chat.

  • Master’s lookup account shared with every sub-dealer portal
  • Daily lookup caps + staff exemptions, with a usage read-out
  • Dashboard quick-lookup widget with deep links
  • Telegram command for staff: plate in, vehicle + gains out

Vehicle Hub FAQ

Common questions

Is Vehicle Hub an extra add-on?
No. Vehicle Hub ships in every TunerSuite Ultra license. You can switch it, and each of its parts, like the dyno chart or PDF quotes, on or off from the Settings Hub.
Do number-plate lookups cost extra?
Plate lookups run through your own account with a licensed vehicle-data provider, so you control the spend. Repeat lookups of a known plate are served from cache for free, and you can set daily caps per portal. The manual make / model / engine picker is always free.
Can my sub-dealers use it?
Yes. As a master you can share one lookup account with every sub-dealer portal on your network, one bill, with per-day limits you control. Dealers get the same spec sheet, gains and quotes as your own team.
Where do the gains figures come from?
From your own vehicle catalogue, the per-stage figures you maintain. The software never invents a number: if a stage has no figure, it isn’t shown. When you publish a real dyno report for an engine, the measured curve is overlaid on the chart.
Can my customers use Vehicle Hub too?
Your choice, per setting: staff-only, or open it to customers. You can give customers the manual vehicle picker while keeping plate lookups, which cost you money, for staff and dealers.
Does it produce a quote the customer can keep?
Yes. The on-screen quote is priced live from your own rules, including per-ECU overrides, and exports as a branded PDF valid for 30 days, your logo, your company details, your prices.

New this summer

One catalogue, everywhere it is needed

The Hub is only as good as the list behind it, so the list is now the same list wherever it is read.

  • Your catalogue syncs from your portal to every dealer, one list, one set of prices
  • Opel and Vauxhall are treated as the one manufacturer they are; figures gathered under either now reach both
  • Maintenance and surveys on the vehicle database wait for quiet hours, so a survey can no longer hold up a file submission
  • A registration typed into a conversation is understood by the assistant as the car it is
