Came across carhistory.us.org while researching a used car. They provided valuable information which will be used in making my decision on purchasing this vehicle. Easy to use and for the price I will definitely use again. Than you.

“BIGGEST SCAMMERS EVER!”

Tasneem A.
7/30/24

Don't go to them for car history, they charged me $1 for the report and without any notice two weeks later I was told that I subscribed to their site and charged me $30 out of nowhere. I never clicked to any subscription and I never received any email about subscription either. Their customer service is the worst, I tried contacting them several times via email. Live chat and calling. In email and chat they tell you to call them but they NEVER once picked up the phone. Absolutely disgusted with this sneaky scamming and would NEVER recommend you to go there. Their car history report is not complete either. I would recommend trying car vin sheet, they are thousand times better.

Site quoted $1 for an extensive car history by VIN number, by setting up an account. I did create an account and entered the VIN on my own vehicle AND, my bank account was charged $14.95, not $1 for this "service". THEY PUT AME ON A TIMER TO PUT MY CARD INFO IN. I TRIED TO TALK TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO FIND OUT WAY THEY CHARGED MY ACCOUNT AND THEY SAID I SUBSCRIBE I EXPLAIN I NEVER AGREED TO A CHARGE OTHER THAN A $1.00, NOR DID I "SUBSCRIBE" TO ANY MONTHLY KIND OF CHARGE OR "PLAN", NOR ANY FURTHER CHARGES PAST THE ORIGINAL $1.00 FEE. SO BEWARE OF THESE PEOPLE THEY IN MY OPINION BUT BASICALLY STOLE MY INFO CHARGED MY ACCOUNT SO IN MY BOOK THEY ARE A THEFT. SCAM ARTIST, NO GOOD, AND THEY GIVE GOOD COMPANIES A BAD NAME. THEY SHOULD TRULY BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES.

Poor report advertised as free. Then they charge $18.95 per month. Keep changing names - for credit card charges (www.carrecordusa.com, www.autohistorychecks.com) all the same people.

Tip for consumers:
Keep away and don't give them your credit card !!!

If you dont read it well, you will end up paying the 25 dollars. Other than that part which I think is shady, the website was great.
