AutoDescription

AutoDescription has been developed for the 'non-motor-insurance' market where a vehicle valuation identifier is not required.

AutoDescription allows a customer to identify critical vehicle specification information simply by entering the vehicle’s plate and state (or VIN) into the MWAU system.
