Testimonials from our customers

I almost bought a used Honda but luckily checked the BadVin report first. Turned out it had a salvage title from flood damage that the seller didn't disclose. Phew, dodged a huge issue!
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.
I've tried many vehicle reports but badvin's is by far the most comprehensive. It shows accident photos, past sales, repairs and so much more. I won't buy a car now without getting a report first. It's a must-have.
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!
