The for-sale sign that keeps your number private.
Print a professional QR sign for your car. Buyers scan it, see photos and details, and reach you only the ways and times you choose. Sold? Turn it all off with one tap.
From $9 for 3 months · one-time · no subscription
Three steps. Ten minutes.
Add your car
Type or scan the VIN — we fill in year, make, model and trim. Add up to 12 photos straight from your phone.
Set your rules
Allow calls, texts or private messages — or any mix. Pick the days and hours buyers can reach you.
Print & post
Download a print-ready sign, from a home-printer page to an 18×24 yard sign. Push your listing to the big car sites in one tap.
You’re in control. Always.
- No number to scrape. Your sign has a QR code, not your phone or email — so bots and spam lists get nothing.
- Private calls. We ring you first. Press 1 to talk; neither side sees the other’s real number.
- Your hours. Outside your schedule, buyers can only leave a message.
- One-tap off switch. Mark it sold and every contact option shuts down instantly.
- Auto-delete. When your listing ends, photos and details are permanently erased. We email you before it happens.
Built to stop fake listings
Scammers love stealing photos and sticking fake signs on real cars. ScanAutos makes that hard — and makes it easy for buyers to check.
Confirmed sellers
Every seller confirms their mobile number by text code and their email address, declares they own the vehicle, and pays by card before a sign goes live. Temporary emails and internet phone numbers are flagged.
VIN checks
VINs are decoded and matched to the vehicle. Sellers privately photograph the VIN plate, and a listing’s vehicle can’t be swapped later.
Complaints & takedowns
Anyone can report a sign. Urgent reports — “that’s my car”, scams, stolen vehicles — hide the listing instantly while our team reviews it, and we can pull listings and ban sellers.
Scam-message alerts
Messages asking for gift cards, wires, “shipping agents” or verification codes are flagged before you reply.
Buyer checklist
Every page tells buyers to match the VIN on the windshield and title — and that ScanAutos never takes payments.
No payments on site
We never handle the sale. No escrow, no deposits, no “vehicle protection” — the most common scam scripts don’t work here.
Simple, one-time pricing
One vehicle, one payment. No subscriptions, no auto-renew, no commission on your sale.

Questions
Is ScanAutos a car dealer?
No. ScanAutos.com is not a dealer, broker or lot and never owns or sells vehicles. Every listing is created and controlled by an independent private seller who subscribes to ScanAutos. We provide the sign, the landing page and private contact — the sale is entirely between buyer and seller. Read the full disclaimer.
I found a ScanAutos sign on my car that I didn’t put there.
Report it at scanautos.com/complaint with the code printed on the sign. Reports like this hide the listing immediately while our team investigates.
Is ScanAutos a classifieds site?
No. There’s no search and no browsing. Each listing is a private landing page that only people who scan your sign (or follow your link) will see. Pages are hidden from search engines.
Do buyers need an app?
No. Any phone camera opens the page. No account needed to contact you.
Can buyers buy the car on ScanAutos?
No — and that’s on purpose. You meet, inspect and agree on payment directly. Never accept gift cards, wires or overpayments.
What happens when my listing ends?
Contact stops immediately, and 7 days later your photos and details are permanently deleted. Scanning the old sign just says the listing has ended.
Is there an iPhone or Android app?
ScanAutos works in your phone’s browser today — tap Share → Add to Home Screen for an app-like experience. Native apps are on the way.
