About GearShift News

GearShift News is an independent publication covering US car ownership and the auto industry: recalls and safety investigations, prices, plants and jobs, dealer and warranty rules, EVs and charging, and the loan and insurance rules drivers live with. News is written from automaker, regulator and court sources, and our explainers link to official pages such as NHTSA, the IRS and state agencies; articles are prepared by the GearShift News Editors with the help of AI tools and checked against those sources. We are not mechanics, lawyers or financial advisers, so for repairs, legal disputes or loan decisions please contact your dealer, a licensed professional or the agency involved.

How we work

Every article is based on official guidance, published research and reporting by established outlets. News stories list their sources; guides link to the official pages they rely on. We do not claim hands-on testing we have not done, and we do not invent experts, quotes or reviews. Articles are prepared by the GearShift News editors with the help of automation and AI tools and pass quality checks before publication: figures must match the sources, wording must be original, and off-topic or low-value stories are rejected. Details are in our editorial policy.

Who runs GearShift News

GearShift News is owned and operated by a small independent publisher based in the Czech Republic and written for readers in the United States and other English-speaking countries. We are not affiliated with any brand or organization. How the site is funded: ownership and funding.
