Testimonials from our customers

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!
I buy rebuilt title cars at copart to fix and resell. was hoping BadVin reports wud have more detail on damage history to help me value cars before bidding, Carfax is better for that. but for clean title vehicles it seems pretty useful
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.
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!!
