Testimonials from our customers

Was shopping for a used Range Rover and found one that seemed suspiciously cheap. The badVIN report revealed it had been in a major front end collision, with photos showing the damage. Steered clear of that one and saved myself a ton of headaches!!
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!
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 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.
