Getting Started with HailMatch Tracker

From sign-up to getting your car back. Jump to the part you need.

01 · Sign up with HailMatch

Create your HailMatch Tracker account so you can follow every car from filing to the shop and back - status, photos, and visits in one place instead of hunting through texts and emails. Sign up with email and password, or continue with Google or Apple.

Already have an account? Sign in to open your garage.

02 · My vehicles

After you sign in, you land on My vehicles - your garage for saved vehicles, booked visits, and claims in the shop.

From here you can add a vehicle or schedule service.

Common makes are listed. For anything else, just type it.

Save it, then schedule service when you are ready.
