Testimonials from our customers

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.
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.
As a first time used car buyer, I was nervous about getting ripped off. The vehicle report from badvin gave me so much more confidence - it confirmed the car had a clean history and the mileage lined up. Such a relief to have that peace of mind.
As a car dealer importing vehicles from the US to Mexico, I rely on badvin for comprehensive history reports before bidding at auctions. Their info has helped me avoid several salvage vehicles and is more thorough than carfax. A must-have service!
