Testimonials from our customers

After a bad experience buying a used car that turned out to have major issues, I now use Bad VIN to thoroughly check every vehicle i consider. It costs a bit more than other services but the detailed records and photos of past sales are wotrh it for the added peace of mind.
Can't believe what badvin found on a used 2012 chevy silverado I almost bought - odometer had been rolled back 50k miles according to the mileage history! Carfax didnt show nething bout that. So glad I checked here first b4 handing over my hard earned $$
Was about to buy a used 2016 Camry but decided to get the badvin report first. Turns out the car had been in a serious crash and was declared a total loss by insurance, even tho carfax showed it as clean! Dodged a bullet on that one. ty badvin
As a used car dealer, I rely on badvin.org for checking every vehicle I'm considering purchasing at auction. The comprehensive reports give me peace of mind and help me avoid problem cars. Photos of past sales have saved me from overpaying many times. Worth every penny!

A VIN decoder translates the 17-character Vehicle Identification Number into understandable information about the vehicle's specifications and history.
VIN decoding does not directly reveal maintenance history; however, it can identify the vehicle model and year, which you can use to access maintenance records through service databases with the VIN.
You can track the depreciation of your car by monitoring market trends, checking online valuation tools, and staying informed about new model releases.
Fire damage, if reported, is detailed with specifics on affected areas and severity, important for assessing the repair quality and safety of the 1997 DODGE.
If theft records are present, it’s crucial to ensure the vehicle has been recovered and legally cleared for sale to avoid potential legal issues, depending on the accuracy of the data.
Our reports may provide information on any open recalls affecting the 1997 DODGE DAKOTA, detailing the nature of the recall and recommended actions, if such records exist.
