Site quoted $1 for an extensive car history by VIN number, by setting up an account. I did create an account and entered the VIN on my own vehicle AND, my bank account was charged $14.95, not $1 for this "service". THEY PUT AME ON A TIMER TO PUT MY CARD INFO IN. I TRIED TO TALK TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO FIND OUT WAY THEY CHARGED MY ACCOUNT AND THEY SAID I SUBSCRIBE I EXPLAIN I NEVER AGREED TO A CHARGE OTHER THAN A $1.00, NOR DID I "SUBSCRIBE" TO ANY MONTHLY KIND OF CHARGE OR "PLAN", NOR ANY FURTHER CHARGES PAST THE ORIGINAL $1.00 FEE. SO BEWARE OF THESE PEOPLE THEY IN MY OPINION BUT BASICALLY STOLE MY INFO CHARGED MY ACCOUNT SO IN MY BOOK THEY ARE A THEFT. SCAM ARTIST, NO GOOD, AND THEY GIVE GOOD COMPANIES A BAD NAME. THEY SHOULD TRULY BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.

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!

Provides a great amount of information for the cost, althought it is a little hard to navigate the system and get through the check out process. Overall great value for someone thats thinking about buying a car. Wish it had a smart phone app

I have run three different history reports on the same vehicle, Carhistory.us.org, Carfax, instaVin... I find that all are close with info but instavin was not enough information to make a impact on a decision with my opinion on the vehicle that I wanted to buy. Carfax and Carhistory.us.org came back with almost the exact information on the vehicle that I was looking for when trying to make a choice in buying the right car for myself. The only difference is I over paid on the other websites when I could have just paid a dollar from the get go through Carhistory.us.org, Thank you Carhistory.us.org

If you dont read it well, you will end up paying the 25 dollars. Other than that part which I think is shady, the website was great.
