Questions

Is it really anonymous?

Yes. The owner never sees your email, phone number or account. You can choose to add your name or number to a message.

Can the owner reply?

Messages sent from this website are one-way, but if you leave a phone number the owner can call or text you. In the CarTalkie app, owners can reply with one tap.

What if the car isn't on CarTalkie?

Your message is saved, and the owner will see it if they register the car. If it's urgent, leave a note on the car too.

Why can't I type my own message?

Preset messages keep CarTalkie respectful, with no spam, insults or threats, and let each person read messages in their own language.

Why do you ask for the car's make and color?

It makes sure you're messaging the car you're actually looking at, and stops people from messaging plates at random.

What is the CarTalkie sticker?

Owners with a plan get a free QR sticker for their car. Scanning it opens this page, so anyone can reach them.
