Testimonials from our customers

Report showed a car I was considering had a prior salvage title from a major accident, even though carfax listed it as clean. Messaged seller asking about it and they made shady excuses. Def avoided a scam thanks to badvin!
Ich hätte fast einen 2017 Mercedes-Benz C300 gekauft, bis der Bad Vin-Bericht zeigte, dass er als durch Überschwemmung beschädigt gemeldet wurde. Die detaillierten Schadensaufzeichnungen haben mich vor einem großen Fehler bewahrt!
I import used luxury cars from US auctions to resell in Russia. The vehicle history reports from badVIN are essential for avoiding problem cars. For a BMW I was bidding on, it uncovered a salvage title from flood damage that other reports missed! That alone pays for the service.
I always rely on badvin to check out any used car before I buy. It gives such a complete history, including past accidents, service records, recalls and much more. Feel so much more confident as a used car shopper having this info.
