Don't go to them for car history, they charged me $1 for the report and without any notice two weeks later I was told that I subscribed to their site and charged me $30 out of nowhere. I never clicked to any subscription and I never received any email about subscription either. Their customer service is the worst, I tried contacting them several times via email. Live chat and calling. In email and chat they tell you to call them but they NEVER once picked up the phone. Absolutely disgusted with this sneaky scamming and would NEVER recommend you to go there. Their car history report is not complete either. I would recommend trying car vin sheet, they are thousand times better.

You pay $1, then get charged a monthly fee you didn't sign up for. The bank tells you its fraud. Carhistory claims they'll refund you. It doesn't happen. Back-and-forth with the bank to get a new card, and remove the fraud charges from your account. Back-and-forth with carhistory for what is seemingly their own amusement, for nothing.

Save your time. Spend the $30 on carfax. This is a garbage scam.

Misleading $1 for 1 time report scam
June 24, 2022

They appear to be offering you a 1 time report for $1. Instead you get charged $23.95, and put into a monthly subscription at $23.95. It is very sneaky and misleading. Their customer service says they are gonna cancel my subscription and refund my $23.95 in 3-5 days. I will update if they do.
If they don't, I am gonna post all over the internet about this fraud. People just trying to get a 1 time report for a potential car they are buying, and instead they sneak you into a ridiculous subscription. Who in the world needs to run a ton of car reports every month for a year that it's worth $23.95/month ‍

SCAM Alert 6-12-22
June 12, 2022

They advertise $1.00 for your initial report then $24.00 / mo. BS - They instantly charge your card $23.95!
I know this because my CC sends me notifications of every charge, instantly. So I called and complained and the guy was an Jack*** telling me that it states right next to the credit card info section that they charge you the $23.95. Again BS. I read it back to him just as it appears in the screen shot below and he said it's only a 5 cent difference. No kidding but it said the 1st report was $1. He proceeds to tell me that the $1 is a deposit. Does anyone else see "DEPOSIT" on this page? No!
In the end, this is FALSE ADVERTISING AND THUS A SCAM. By the time most people see their $23.95 charge - it's too late for a refund. STAY AWAY!

Expect a fraud
April 8, 2022

Signed for $1 for one car report. Was very surprised when saw a charge of $23.95 on my credit card activity.
Contacted customer service and was told I must accidentally upgrade my account for $23.95. Got a refund anyway. So beware very sweet deals for $1.

Great Vehicle Reports
November 2, 2023

I was very happy with the services I got from this company when I was searching for a used car. These reports gave me a lot of information on the vehicles I was looking at and this helped me select a vehicle that had a good history. The vehicle I was initially interested in turned out to have needed some major repairs and my history on such vehicles often lead to them needing more major repairs after I obtained them. I feel they provide a great service at a very reasonable rate and recommend they be utilized for this service.

Scam-Beware!
September 15, 2022

I purchased a report for $1.00. They charged me the $1.00 plus an additional $24.95. I called them and they said they would send me an email to confirm credit of $24.95. It's the next day and I have not received anything from them. Don't use this website!

Recently I have applied to this company because I needed a new car. My old one has broken down and mechanics told me that it would be better to acquire a new one and my old one has to be sold. It was very tough for me to say goodbye to my wheels, but I understood that it's life and there is always something that we don't really like. I thought that it would be better to take out a loan and buy a new car. Guys from this company helped me in everything and I successfully bought a new car. It was so unusual to me to drive a new car but I'm really thankful to them.

A Scam
September 26, 2021

Googled RV values and this site popped up. I entered the requisite info and when asked for, my credit card info to charge for a review of the RV I was checking. It was advertised for $1 to get the info. I should have seen that as a red flag, but proceeded. Then I received a red banner advising my cc was not valid and suggested to re-enter the info…I did twice more when I got the same advice. I gave up. Within an hour my credit card was billed for $18.95 THREE TIMES! Obviously they scammed me for my card info and tried to charge it. A SCAM if ever there was one and thieve scoundrels need to be banned from advertising and prosecuted for fraud…IMHO.

For buying a used car

Very reasonable price, $1.00, to get basic information about a used car. I didn't notice if I inadvertently signed up for $18.95/month Volume Discount Package, which I do not want.

BEWARE, once you've entered your credit card information you are charged $18.95, not $1.00 as you were led to believe. I was given this # by my bank *******890(customer support for their company) and they reversed the charges. I will close this card to prevent any future fraudulent charges.

Why buy CarFax?
April 6, 2016

I'm trying to sell a car for a friend, and have gotten mixed information. CarFax is $40 which is reasonable, but why pay $40 when $7 will do the trick? Although the process was lengthy, the full report showed everything I was curious about. Now I can help with confidence. I saved the link to my bookmarks, this will definitely come in handy in the future. Great product!

Not at all what I expected from a supposedly FREE site. I am nervous that I somehow inadvertently agreed to a 180.00 service which I do not want. I will not allow a charge of more than 1$ to my C Card. I am calling their customer service ASAP to be sure no sneaky business will proceed. Sorry if I'm being overly negative but I am already regretting my decision to enter your site. Info received was very basic. I am holding you to the 20$ Amazon card too!

Great Information at even a better price! Was very pleased with the provided information from carhistory.us.org. It gave peace of mind in the researching of a used car for my teenage son. Not only did it clearly state the vehicle's history, it also provided crash test/safety results for the vehicle. This day and age one can never be too safe. Information is key in not getting burned, or paying for a vehicle that isn't what the seller states it is. Get your vehicle history report and get the peace of mind along with your purchase.
