“Vehicle History Report prior to purchase”

Tim D.
11/5/20

This report gave me all the information I needed to make my decision prior to the purchase of an out of state vehicle I intended to purchase site unseen. I now know it had no wrecks, I know how many owners, I know of all recalls among much more detailed information provided, highly recommend this site, also has customer support if you need it and I did, spoke with a person right away. All information came right to my email within minutes. A+++.

They say for a dollar you can get a review,but, then they keep trying to charge your credit card for more until you have to go back to them to stop these unauthorized charges

This is a great company to deal with. They will work with you whatever the situation. I had a car sitting in my driveway for a long time and gave me the best price out of 4 places. The transition is seamless. I agree with the offer and the next day the car was pick up and got my check.

Quick and efficient results. Information that came back took only a few minutes and the cost was way lower than any other site. Definitely recommend

We were told by the saleslady there was some crash damage although somewhat minor. I find no information of that.

I was surprised, and impressed with the thoroughness of the report. Have not checked my account to see if they charged me more than the $1.00 agreed to. Did take me three phone calls to customer service to get the report sent and to get into it to review it. Was told it will be there for 1 month. I will be checking back to verify that, based on the other reviews I'm seeing. And i'll be happy to give another review at that time, as well.

I bought this Yaris back in March but it was stolen. I got it back without any damage, though I didn't get the key back and I can't find the second one. The dealer wants $260 for a new set! Lots of info and I'll make $9 if I get the Amazon gift card. Thanks guys, I'll recomend your site. Thanks and do VOTE!

I was searching the VIN of a car that I was about to buy and turns out it had a blown engine at some point. I would've known without this site. Would definitely recommend!

I wish I had checked out the car with you guys before I bought it, it has a salvage title and it would past smog it was going to cost me more then I paid for it to pass I'm just going to be out the money can't afford to fix. Your report sure would if helped a lot if I had gotten it before but I didn't it is very helpful I would refer friends and family to you to check out vehicle before they buy.

Needed to have as much info as possible on this vehicle, and it was delivered as promised. Watch out though, as I was charged $18.95 instead of $1.00. They also don't really spell out other options. They canceled the subscription without a problem. Seriously though, you can't get a car report for any cheaper than $19.95. All's well that ends well.

Review appears to be an honest representation of the car.
We had all recalls performed and no accidents which was what the report said. We are looking to purchase a new vehicle and a private sale will certainly be worth more than a trade in.
I would accept this report if I were doing a private party purchase.

Takes a few minutes, but gives a comprehensive report. Worried about some of the reviews now. It better be the $1 as presented, that's all I have authorized.

I did learn some about the car from I guess the auction report on condition. It appears after seeing the car that it must have had the items repaired. I was more interested in whether or not the seller was the titled owner or had clear title to the car. I did not get that answer.

Helpful at finding information I needed. Found out it had a salvage title. I hope this isn't a scam and not gonna cost me more than the $1 it stated.

So far so good, like a previous commenter I also could use a name associated with said vehicle since the toll charge in Florida, which I have never been to, on a vehicle i have never owned/driven/seen riding around with an identical license plate # as the vehicle I am currently driving. Anyways the LICense plate does pull up the current vehicle I am driving and not the very different car in Florida, the only weird thing left is to figure out why its registered in my name as neither one of these vehicles should be...

I went to six sites or ads before this even Carfax wanted a bunch of money for a dollar I got everything I was looking to use to sell my vehicle. Turns out it was worth more than I thought even!

I like this site. It gives the knowledge I feel to be confident when buying a new car. With the information provided, I don't waste my time looking at cars that do not meet my standards.

Info was pretty much as expected. No surprises, good enough. Was happy to pay the nominal fee of $1 to see my gut feeling verified! :)

Quick and accurate information, saved me a lot of time and leg work. The report wasn't what I was looking for but it's ok.
