It was really easy to get the car history and it only took a few minutes.
Provided the details as expected. There were no accidents or anything to report for the vehicle I searched, however the interface of the site worked well. Overall it did what I needed.
Easy to use and what a great value! The history seemed accurate as was the description of the vehicle. It didn't take but a few seconds to load everything. Would definitely use this site again!
It's amazing I got more than requested at such an incredible lower amount. Report more detailed than what I got from other websites in recent times. I'll recommend this site to everyone in of this service. Keep it up.
I was looking for a possible recall on a car I just purchased, specifically the airbags. I found so much more information thru this site about my car. Very happy I found this site
Great covered all the checks I wanted plus more. Helped me choose my bike.
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!
Wanted to buy a great looking MR2 Spyder... becoming more popular... the price was decent... of course the add stated Clear title... it was not... it was salvaged... it may have been for unknown reasons but one rule. Stay away from salvage titles unless you know what you are doing... so this $6.95 saved me time money travel and peace of mind. Thanks. RJ
Like everone else, I was taken for a fool. Went for the $1 bait and ended up being robbed for $18.95. This business is fraud. Please do not use it.
So glad I checked the reviews! My gut told me this was a bad site as soon as I saw their little ol' $1.00 charge after their ad said "FREE" car history. I know a dollar isn't much, but it IS NOT FREE.
They are liars and con artists, and I'll have nothing to do with them. Ever. Plus, now I'm going to actively work to get them shut down.
Just like all the rest of the complaints, I too was charged $ 18.95 when I was told up front that the charge was $ 1.00. When I went to check out, the charges shown were $ 2.47. I should not have gone through with the transaction but being the trust worthy person that I am, I went through with it anyway. I am reporting this BOGUS co. To the Better Business Bureau, the Consumer Fraud Commission, the Federal Trade Commission. People and companies like this have to be put out of business and should be made to give back all the monies people like me have been " STOLEN " from!
I am also contacting my bank and requesting my money be refunded an for them to do an investigation.

I wanted to buy a used car I liked. CARFAX scared me away w/their $37 buck report. So I googled & stumbled on carhistory.us.org... advertising a car report for $1. It sounded too good to be true. My guts instinct told me not to go there, foolishly I did... the rest is history. My experience was exactly like the one mentioned above by Bob P. I knew something was a not right. So I checked my CR card activity and lo & behold! $18.95 charge for what? Who knows but I did not authorize. Dispute has been submitted thru my Cr card company. I am not bothering calling carhistory.us.org. I do not trust them. That whole processing report seemed very deceptive. FREE ADVICE for YOU: STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE!

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!

I can't even call it a company. When i called and complained about them ripping me off they told me they hated black people and jewish people. I was like wtf. What does race have to do with this. Never got a refund and it has been a month now. I have never been treated worse by anyone. There are 1000 of people that have been scammed. Don't believe the good reviews. They are lying through there teeth.

Poor report advertised as free. Then they charge $18.95 per month. Keep changing names - for credit card charges (www.carrecordusa.com, www.autohistorychecks.com) all the same people.

I like many of you fell for this, thinking I could get a report for FREE, then magically it turned into $1 (Just a little 'ol Database Fee). Then Next thing you know, I got the Shody Report, for one it did not show me as even an owner and I had the car fro over a year! And also did not show a recall, that has been on for over a year, So I called for a refund, it said no problem, to get one right?, then I found out they said you agreed to the $18.95 charge. I said no way! I did so. Well I even went to do this again to see where this $18.95 was and still cannot find it, not in terms of service and conditions or nothing, says will give you the OPTION, well they must have bypassed the (Will Give You) part. Personally imho, it's a site used to MINE your Credit card numbers and sell them to Thief's. So cancel your car immediately afterwards. To BE SAFE!

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.

This is not true that they would overcharge your credit card. True is that during payment there is a typical ruse to enter "premium" service that is charged additional (monthly?) fee. So far I was charged $1 as promised.
