The lawsuit alleges that Autobell failed to protect personal information during an April 2024 cyberattack. Autobell denies wrongdoing.

Who may qualify?

The covered group is U.S. residents whom Autobell notified about the personal information involved in the April 1 through April 7, 2024 incident. Simply buying a car wash does not establish eligibility.

What could you receive?

The alternative cash option pays $45 without documentation of a financial loss. Instead, eligible claimants may seek documented losses and attested time, together capped at $5,000. Those options cannot be combined with the $45 payment. Two years of credit monitoring is also available.

What information is needed?

The $45 option requires a truthful eligibility certification, not loss receipts. Claims for losses require third-party supporting records. Time claims require a sworn explanation and share the documented-loss cap. Class membership is checked against the notice list.

What dates matter?

The claim deadline is November 12, 2026. The exclusion deadline was October 13, 2026. A final approval hearing is scheduled for November 9, 2026. Payments depend on final approval and any appeals being resolved.

Who may qualify

U.S. residents whom Autobell notified that their personal information was involved in its April 1 through April 7, 2024 data incident may qualify. This is not a benefit for everyone who has used an Autobell car wash.

What proof do you need?

Do you need proof of purchase?

For this settlement, you’ll need proof for some claims but not others. The $45 option requires a truthful eligibility certification, not loss receipts. Claims for losses require third-party supporting records. Time claims require a sworn explanation and share the documented-loss cap. Class membership is checked against the notice list.

Where do these requirements come from?

From the official settlement notice - the document that sets out who qualifies and what they have to provide. Claim summarizes it; Claim does not set it. Where the notice and this page disagree, the notice is the one that counts.

How can I check a settlement email or text?

Who is the administrator?

RG/2 Claims Administration LLC is the settlement administrator: the company a court appoints to run the claims process, send notices and make payments. It is not the company being sued, and it is not Claim.

Is the sender's name enough to trust the message?

No. A sender name, a display name, a reply-to address and even a case number can all be copied. Check the case name and number in the message against the ones on this page, and reach the court-authorized settlement website yourself rather than through a link or button in the message.

What warning signs should I look for?

Any request for a fee, a payment or a wire to release settlement money. Any request for full banking login details. Pressure to act straight away. A web address that does not match the one in the official notice. Genuine notices identify the case by name and number and explain how payment is made.

Claim helps you check whether you may qualify, understand the official requirements, and keep track of settlement deadlines.
