Testimonials from our customers

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.
I almost bought a 2019 Malibu that seemed like a great deal - low miles and price. But the badvin report showed it used to be a rental fleet vehicle, which the seller didn't disclose. Glad I found out before buying someone else's abused rental!
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!
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!!
