Avoid this company
June 19, 2024

Customer service is abysmal. No easy way to cancel your subscription even if you didn't want one. So far they have taken £25 from me when I only wanted to check the history of one car and I don't want to check any others. I just want them to stop taking my money and a reply from customer services to confirm my unwanted subscription is cancelled

Feels like a scam
June 15, 2024

I'm trying to cancel my subscription and you've made it very difficult. I used the online chat and was told I had to email. I did that and no response.

Great Sevice!
June 11, 2024

I am a recent victim of identity theft. I found a car listed under my name that I did not recognized. Your site provided me previous owners and that jogged my memory. My mind is at peace knowing now that the car was legitimate. Thank you so muc!

VIN not found

I thought this website also worked for cars in Canada since Toyota produced them in the States.

Ripped off
June 11, 2024

I recently used VINHISTORY USA... paid 1$ and the VIN report had little to know info... I was then charged three times at 1$ and then an additional charge for 30.25 $... I called and was informed I had downloaded a PDF at 1$ ( which I did not do) and + paid 1 $ for the report... when I said what about the 3rd charge at 1$... no response... and I was informed that the 30.25 $ was a subscription fee ( not disclosed when I singed up)... they refunded 29.25$... a few $$ loss isnt much... but its the principle... for my own mental health Im not going to waste another second over this, Ill just never use them again...

I needed to find out if my car had been in any accident and what location it came. I didn't get a good value on the car but in general satisfactory experience.

VIN check
June 10, 2024

My son is purchasing a used car and this service has been great because we can check the Vin number and it lets us know all of the issues with the car. If there have been any accidents if the maintenance has been maintained. It's truly saved us quite a bit of money.

My experience
June 10, 2024

It just was hard to negative your website. This is hard to have things done if your going just keep charging me for one pdf and another file. But that's your website and business. I do ethics for a living and your company needs it more.

Quick, consistent, useful
June 9, 2024

I'm not one to exaggerate with trumped up reviews in hopes of getting anything-- website was quick, did just about what I had expected and was very straightforward and easy to use. No frills, no nonsense, no tricks. I appreciate that last part most.

No results but charged anyway.
June 9, 2024

I was charged for your service and then was told my Vin # was incorrect. I tried again after verifying my Vin # with title and still no results were given. Said it wasn't found or incorrect. So I paid for a service but received no results.
