Testimonials from our customers
I buy rebuilt title cars at copart to fix and resell. was hoping BadVin reports wud have more detail on damage history to help me value cars before bidding, Carfax is better for that. but for clean title vehicles it seems pretty useful

I've tried a bunch of different vehicle history reports over the years and badvin.org has been the most comprehensive by far. Stuff like service records, ownership history, lien and repo info that I haven't found elsewhere. Def go-to resource when shopping for used vehicles now.
Levi Johnson
verified on Trustpilot
BadVin's vehicle history report is a must-have before buying any used vehicle. It's saved me from a few lemons over the years - cars that looked great on the surface but had hidden issues like accidents or title problems. Well worth the price.
Camila Santos
verified on Trustpilot
Bad Vin's vehicle history report showed that the 2018 Audi A4 I was about to buy had been in a major accident that was not disclosed by the seller. The severity analysis helped me avoid a bad purchase. Great service!
