Pleasantly Surprised
September 30, 2016

I have filled out countless forms seeking information of some kind only to come to the 20 minute end and find out my free search costs $50 or more. I expected to find out the same on this site and there it was... $1.00. And a good explanation of why the charge. I kept going fully expecting the other $49 was coming and I would back out. Was I surprised! Not only were there no more charges, I actually got the information I needed! Restores some hope that there are good people out there. Thanks!

L was a unsure of the offer until I used this VIN History service, the service is absolutely the most professional, prompt, affordable service I have used online, they gave me all the information I needed to make a sound purchase decision. The information was available online, via US mail and downloadable. Their service is so thoughtful they even supply links to other services you may need to complete you purchase, I needed a vehicle inspection and they had thought of that with a link to a reputable, affordable service. This is the most thoughtful, comprehensive, professional company I have used in many years. I very highly recommend them, I would like to give them 10 stars! Thank you! James, Raleigh NC

The vehicle information provided was accurate, but it did not include the information that I was seeking (the buyer info). Also, it was advertised as only costing $1.00 for the report I got, however when I looked at my bank statement the following day, they had in fact, charged me $18.75.

After reading good and bad reviews I continued carefully. I even read the fine print of the agreements and watched carefully as I checked all kinds of boxes. I found in the end that I did sign up for the 1 year service. I checked my account and found I had 24 credits. I immediately did an on line chat and they cancelled my account. Now I need to get with my credit card company and block all charges from this site. Stay away!

This site will only give you some basic info. Like where you have bought the vehicle etc. not any specific or detailed information like the one found carfax. But if you want to spend your $1 go ahead (but there are lot's of ways to spend $1... right?). The guys over there are also not very helpful. They will tell you lies. I recommend you to not to use this site.

I fell for their $1 report and subsequently was charged $19. When I called them they said I signed up for the monthly fee. They cancelled my service but I am still out the $19 since they didn't reverse the charge. Beware of this if you deal with them. Their report was not at all as comprehensive as Carfax report.

Ownership
December 8, 2020

I need to know who owns it now. I salvaged to a local junk yard.Lo and behold I cancelled the insurance and state of Florida took my drivers license. I don't know who the junk was because they sent a tow truck. I gave the title they gave me the money. I expected to see more but if things don't get reported than how are carhistory know?

The order process was easy and clear, with no hidden costs or surprises. Extended sale information was presented very straightforward, and it was very clear whether to accept or decline additional offers.
The report it self was very thorough and informative, and was very useful in making the purchase decision on my vehicle.
I highly recommend this service. Unbeatable price and comprehensive results!

Good
July 14, 2017

Good site and easy to use. I do believe that if you are looking for report on 1 auto, the $20. Fee is a bit steep, however you can look up report for up to 24 autos for the same fee within 1 month. So, for someone looking at multiple vehicles for let's say to purchase at an auction, this is a good deal.

Very practical

I'm trying to buy a car and this really helped me put my dad at ease. Also this was much more aforadble compared to kelley blue book or carfax. I will definitely let my friends know a boutique this sight when they want to buy a car. And who can beat $1 like seriously.

I didn't like how it kept trying to get me to purchase more than first quoted. All the basic information seems accurate when report but not entirely sure how detailed the rest of the report is. Hoping it is good.

Just on a whim, I checked what I could find out about a 19 year old Suv I own. Surprise, in 10 minutes or so I had a full report. ( I did not know how far back the records went).
Great detail---the only glitch found was the report stated my model was a SLE when it is actually a SLT. This would effect only the page listing installed equipment at the factory. The SLT has more goodies. This was not carhistory's fault----only an error in 19 year old records.
Good job--will use their service again.
