CarHistory
$
Every accident. Every owner. Every mile. One report.
CarHistory gives you comprehensive vehicle history reports combining data from Carfax and AutoCheck. One VIN check reveals accident records, title history, odometer readings, service logs, and ownership changes.
Every report pulls from industry-leading automotive databases, covering DMV records, insurance claims, auction results, dealer service records, recall notices, and inspection history — all cross-referenced to flag discrepancies.
Whether you're buying a used car, selling your vehicle, or just curious about its past — a CarHistory report shows you what the seller might not.
What every report covers
Accident and damage history
Find out if a vehicle has been in any collisions — including severity, structural damage, airbag deployment, and repair records. Reports include visual damage mapping so you can see exactly where impact occurred.
Title and ownership records
Check for salvage, rebuilt, flood, and lemon title brands that can drastically reduce a car's value and safety. Know how many people have owned the car and trace the full chain of registration history.
Odometer verification
Detect odometer rollbacks and mileage discrepancies by cross-referencing inspection records, service visits, and title transfers. Odometer fraud affects hundreds of thousands of vehicles every year — our reports flag it automatically.
Service and maintenance history
See a vehicle's maintenance timeline including oil changes, brake repairs, tire rotations, and dealer service records. A well-maintained car is a better buy — and a missing service history is a red flag.
Recall and safety alerts
Check for open manufacturer recalls and safety defects. Know whether recall repairs have been completed or are still outstanding before you drive off the lot.
Auction and listing history
See if a vehicle has been through wholesale auctions, dealer lots, or multiple listings. Auction data reveals pricing trends and can detect vehicles being flipped quickly — a common sign of hidden problems.
How it works
Enter your VIN
Every vehicle has a unique 17-character Vehicle Identification Number. You'll find it on the driver's side dashboard, door jamb, or vehicle registration. Paste it into our VIN lookup tool and we'll start searching instantly.
We search the databases
Your VIN is checked against both Carfax and AutoCheck databases simultaneously. We cross-reference DMV records, insurance claims, auction results, dealer service records, law enforcement reports, and more to build a complete picture.
Get your report
Your report is ready in seconds — complete with visual damage mapping, timeline view, and easy-to-read summaries. One credit gets you one full report, starting at just $4.99.
Buy with confidence
Hidden accidents, salvage titles, odometer fraud — a CarHistory report helps you avoid surprises and negotiate a fair price. Know exactly what you're buying before you sign.
We built CarHistory because buying a used car shouldn't be a gamble. Every vehicle has a story — and you deserve to read it before you sign. Our mission is to bring transparency to the used car market, one VIN at a time.
