Questions

Before you check

Is the VIN check really free?

Yes. The car's specs and open recalls come from NHTSA, with no account or card. Title, accident and odometer history only exist in paid, licensed data, so that part is the $19.99 report.

How much is the full report?

$19.99, one time, for the car you checked. Or a 3-day trial for $1 with up to 3 reports, then $29.95 every 28 days for up to 30 reports until you cancel. Both are shown at checkout before you pay.

How do I cancel the trial?

Send a request on our cancel page or email us, any time. Ask within 3 days and you are never charged again, and any charge after your request is refunded. We email a reminder before the trial ends.

Does a clean report mean the car is fine?

No. It means nothing was found in the records we checked. Cash repairs and some state records never reach these databases, so always get an independent inspection before you buy.
