“I've been looking for the discount button. (SR20)”

I am happy to find out that the car had a massive € 20.000 repair, but the report was not as I hoped to see after seeing a lot of British reports, no TUV reports at all

“Scam company”

Mirko P.

CarVertical is a scam. Thousands of investors have been left with nothing from the initial investment in their ICO token project. I lost $500. They took the money and are still operating their scam. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER send any funds to this "company". I'm looking for others who want to join an action to report this scam company to the authorities and arrest these scammers from Lithuania.

I gained some extra information about the car (two small repairs on the body in past), mileage which corresponded with service book in the car, but for that money I expected nore detailed information and maybe some photos aswell. So overall It was ok, but next time I would try different car check site…

I am in no way affiliated with either company. That being said, I ran a history report on my used car with Carvertical after I noticed some odd trim differences on the car. I already have a Carfax report so I was hoping this one might have some more information. I was very disappointed with the results. The report is nowhere near as detailed as the Carfax report. There are no maintenance records at all and my report was missing the first 6 years of history, which was present on the Carfax report. I attempted to get a refund but they refused my request. I think there are much better options out there.

Kilometrajul mașinii este oferit din doi în doi ani. Revizia s-a făcut anual la Rădăcini București...Nu mai zic de alte interventii tehnice unde kilometrajul se declara.Practic înregistrarea kilometrajului s-a luat numai de la ITP.

You just saved my pocket, maybe few good thousands of €, showing me a 100 000 km less, recordered on a car. Here, in Romania (EU), plenty cars coming from west side of Europe coming with just few km bu in reality they are more. More! Thank you very much, CV! You worth it!

Absolute waste of money - Same price as a CarFax or AutoCheck, with WAY less information. Generic entries for title changes, no maintenance info. Lots of filler, like brochure information and general data about your car, but nothing specific. A whole bunch of nothing... WASTE of money!

Tip for consumers:
Compete scam, $30 and ZERO information specific to my car!

For half of the amount paid here, I received more information about the damages of the checked cars from another similar site (twice more damages found).
More than that, the same other site found 3 issues / reasons for recalls by the manufacturer at the checked models, compared to 0 (zero) found here...
Not to mention that, included in the same price, I received from the other site also an estimated value of the checked cars, based on the production year + the mileage...
I know that "Advertising is the soul of the business", but it seems that in this case there is too much advertising and too few concrete results here...

CarVertical gives only hypothetical informations.
The answers they supply are most of the time wrong, like even the color of the car, or the gearbox selection (manual, automatic) if they get this simple things wrong, how true are the rest of the informations?

Tip for consumers:
Don't trust CarVertical !!!!

Carvertical did give me more information than the average free vehicle check, and i am pleased I now have the printout to keep with my car documents. What i really needed was more information on my cars history and import/export. The car was re-imported to the UK in 2021, and i was hoping to find out more about the period 2012-2021, but it was just a blank on the report.

Its still something I would do when buying any car though.

I wanted to query the history of the car I'm about to purchase. I've got a 10+ pages long report that mentioned that the car was involved in some kind of accident, there are some minor damages on the side. However the report didn't mention any specifics, no photo, nothing about the damage. The rest of the report only contained the milage information, and some generic maintenance advice that can be found in the car's service manual. Asked for a refund, as in my case I should have just burned the money, but they said they are sorry that the report was useless, but it is what it is.

I checked once Renault Megane 2019 from Switzerland *******km. Although the first car owner had an accident and car was damaged, there was nothing about it to see in report. They have to improve their sources and reports.

I found CarVertical online while looking to purchase a used car. I usually buy new but decided to try my hand at getting a used car. I was a little skeptical at first with the stories I've heard about buying used, but CarVertical made the whole process so much easier. They spelled out everything about the car in a very clear and concise way so I felt like nothing was being hidden. Also the blockchain verification gave me a big sense of relief knowing that the car report was accurate. I would definitely recommend CarVertical and would definitely use again!

Data provided show years of records of mileage missing and incomplete. A car can't disappear from records for 10 years and then show up with 100k km more. The good part is that the car's equipment is listed and where the car was registered. Having a 5,000 euro difference between lower and higher cost of a repair could mean a lot for a car. I believe these data are not very accurate.

Report did not provide original photos for a car from USA since this was my main demand from this report.

And then I have found original photos for free under this tool: https://www.vehiclehistory.com

I can confirm that website above shows original photos since it showed my current own USA car photos correctly.

I would strongly suggest to look over similar tool integration into your report through API for USA related VINs.

We never bought a used car before because my father never believe on buyer, but by using CarVertical i handed over him all the details of car. The Car was accident less as we require. We trusted the report from CarVertical they are doing great work. My father is happy that we made a good deal.

Carvertical - what a scam that is, best not to use it, purchased a check with them, wanted to see what was the damage of the car, there is no pictures, they say damage type unknown and cost of repair unknown. Contacted them to obtain a refund, they have refused. They say they cannot be responsible for what insurance company is giving them, so false advertisement for the company really. Do not use them, it's a scam!

Tip for consumers:
Data only said it was damaged, no listed what category, no pictures as advertised on YouTube channels, damage cost - unknown, are of damage - unknown. So really a false advertising. When asked them for refund, they refused saying it’s all they got from insurance company. Big scam.

Only general information available for the vehicle I was interested in. The same information I received from the official local car dealer. Also some info which I definitely knew about the car was not captured in the report. Like that car has passed customs and registered in other country. And some small injures visible on the car were not mentioned at all. Not exact measurement of the odometr (how many kilometers vehicle passed). And the final kilometers were different with over *******. Respectfully I couldn't trust the info that there are no records about car crashes, damages and other negative impacts. I would say that overall experience didn't match my expectations. And don't worth the price.

Paid $25 for a report. Report did not show year and model of vehicle. Did not show that vehicle was involved in multiple other accidents. Very limited to no information. No pictures. No history. This service is a scam!

Too high a price for the little useful information.
I expected to receive more details about the insurance policies, the revisions made, frequent breakdowns of this type of car, recommendations regarding checks depending on the number of km. Of the car.

I went online looking for car history on a vehicle what I was interested in. Other well-known vehicle history company charged double. I got the two vehicle history checks for a reasonable price. History was in line with what the seller of my vehicle told me. It appears to be an accurate vehicle history report.

As a beginner, I don't know much about cars. I was thinking to buy one but was confused and hesitant regarding my decision as I was unable to judge the worth of the car. Then someone recommended me carVertical. I entered the VIN and boom. All the information I needed was on my laptop screen. If you are someone like me it is highly recommended to use the app.
