  Wayback Machine CDX history for carserv.com, live WHOIS/DNS for carserv.com,
  and https://github.com/CarServ/public_api_client
notes: >-
  CarServ is no longer operating. The evidence below is recorded because a dead
  provider is a valid, useful catalog result — not because a lifecycle programme
  was published. No status page, no deprecation policy, no SLA and no changelog
  ever existed, so no StatusPage or Deprecation pointer is wired.
versioning:
  scheme: uri-path
  current: v2
  evidence: base path /public/api/v2/ in the first-party client

- observation: Site served HTTP 410 Gone
  dates: ['2024-11-14', '2024-12-28']
  source: Wayback Machine CDX (carserv.com)
- observation: Site began redirecting (301), then resolved to a parked lander (200)
  dates: ['2025-07-10', '2025-09-04']

- observation: >-
    Domain re-registered 2024-04-06 under Domains By Proxy and delegated to
    NS1/NS2.AFTERNIC.COM — a domain-resale parking service; every path returns the
    same 114-byte HTML stub redirecting to /lander.
  source: WHOIS + live probe
- observation: >-
    Null MX record ("0 .") and SPF "v=spf1 -all" — the domain explicitly accepts
    and sends no mail, consistent with a parked, non-operating domain.
  source: live DNS
- observation: >-
    Last archived live marketing site titled "CarServ - The operating system for
    auto repair".

- observation: >-
    Company GitHub organization github.com/CarServ remains public but every
    repository is dormant; the only first-party repo, public_api_client, was last
    pushed 2023-03-16.

  note: >-
    An unrelated "CarServ - AI-Powered Vehicle Inspection Platform" resolves at
    carserv.co, but that domain was created 2025-10-02 — well after this company
    shut down — and shows no link to the Techstars-backed CarServ. Recorded here
    only to prevent future conflation; it is not treated as a successor.
