Questions

See all FAQs

What do I get for free?

Instant VIN validation (length, characters and check digit). Plus a free basic spec decode (year, make, model, trim, engine and more). Full history reports are $9.99 (Standard) or $14.99 (Premium).

Where does the history data come from?

Full reports are compiled from commercial vehicle-history data sources covering title, brand, insurance, salvage and industry records. Coverage varies by vehicle.

Does it work for classic and pre-1981 cars?

Reports need a standard 17-character VIN (generally 1981 model year and newer). Shorter pre-1981 chassis numbers aren't supported yet; that's coming soon. Our provenance and registry guides can still help with older cars.

Can I get a refund?

If we can't return any history records for your VIN, contact us and we'll make it right.
