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!
Purchased a badvin report before buying a used Lexus RX 350. It revealed a minor accident the seller hadn't mentioned. I still bought the car but used the info to negotiate a lower price. Well worth the cost for the leverage it gave me!
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.
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!
