Testimonials from our customers

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.
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!
I've tried a bunch of different vehicle history reports over the years and badvin.org has been the most comprehensive by far. Stuff like service records, ownership history, lien and repo info that I haven't found elsewhere. Def go-to resource when shopping for used vehicles now.
As a used car dealer, I rely on badvin.org for checking every vehicle I'm considering purchasing at auction. The comprehensive reports give me peace of mind and help me avoid problem cars. Photos of past sales have saved me from overpaying many times. Worth every penny!
