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.

It took about 5 minutes to get a comprehensive report on a vehicle I was interested in buying. I would use car history every time!

Needed to verify the authenticity of a car I was told has a salvaged title. This report not only gave me the proof but lots of other info as well.

Got history on a car that my daughter is looking to buy. The report was through and only cost a dollar. Can't beat that.

Looking at used car with salvage title. Dealer didn't want to provide vehicle history. Nice to see someone willing to help out the consumer.

Like everone else, I was taken for a fool. Went for the $1 bait and ended up being robbed for $18.95. This business is fraud. Please do not use it.

I was charged 18.95 for a full subscription, even though I signed up for a one time report. Read the finest of all prints. They are sneaky.

I wanted to run a report on this vehicle because Car Fax had very little information. This report revealed the same results

It was exactly what I needed and in a relatively fast pace. It made buying my first vehicle a lot less stressful.

Going to the internet and looking for a VIN I usually get ripped off by companies but I must say I was extremely impressed with the $1 charge and I will use them always!
