How it works

Enter a VIN, see a preview. Pay only for the full report.

The free check shows you what the car is. The full report shows you what happened to it. You decide after you have seen the free part.

  1. 1

    Enter the VIN

    Free

    Type the 17-character VIN, or the license plate and state. We check the VIN is valid before anything else.

  2. 2

    We check the records

    Free

    We look the car up with NHTSA, NMVTIS and licensed data providers. It takes about a minute and a half.

  3. 3

    See your free preview

    Free

    The car's year, make and model, and every open safety recall. No account, no card, no email needed to see it.

  4. 4

    Unlock the full report, only if you want it

    Pick one report for $19.99, or a 3-day trial for $1 if you are comparing several cars. Both prices are shown before you pay.

  5. 5

    Read it in about 90 seconds

    Yours to keep

    Your report opens right away, a PDF copy is emailed to you, and it stays in your account to reopen any time.

Questions

Good to know

Do I need an account to see the free check?

No. Enter the VIN and the free preview opens. We only ask for your email when you choose to unlock the full report, so we can save it and send your receipt.

Where do I find the VIN?

On the dashboard through the windshield (driver's side), on the driver's door jamb sticker, or on the title, registration, insurance card or the seller's listing.

How long does it take?

About a minute and a half for the checks, then the free preview. The full report opens right after payment; some licensed sections can take a few more minutes to finish loading.

Does a clean report mean the car is fine?

No. It means nothing was found in the records we checked. Always get an independent inspection before you buy.
