- No account
- One tap covers it
Why it's free.
An insurance company pays for your report when you tap its quote. That's the whole deal.
Plate or VIN
Type either one. We find the car and its 17-character VIN.
One tap covers it
Tap any insurance quote. It opens in a new tab, and your report opens here.
4 answers
Accidents, open recalls, theft and liens, in plain words, on this page.
4 checks. No catch.
The 4 things most likely to kill a deal, checked against national records. In plain words, on this page, in about a minute.
The whole file, for less than lunch.
Title brands, auction records, odometer readings, every owner since new. 5 sections, 16 record types, for $9.99.
An insurance tap pays for it.
Before your free report opens, you tap one insurance quote. The company pays us for the visit, and that pays for your report. You never pay, and you don't have to buy anything.
What each check answers.
4 questions, and what to do when the answer isn't clear.
Accidents
Has it been hit? A reported accident isn't always a deal-breaker. Frame damage or an airbag going off is. The full PDF says which.
Open recalls
Is there a safety fix still to do? Recall work is free at the brand's dealers. Ask the seller to get it done before you pay.
Theft
Was it ever stolen? A recovered car can be fine, but its title should say so and the price should show it.
Liens
Does a bank still own it? Then the seller can't give you a clean title until the loan is paid. Pay the lender, not the seller.
Free, then the full file.
The free report answers the 4 questions. The PDF is the proof behind them.

The report is step one. 4 more that cost little or nothing.
Match the VIN
The VIN on the dash, the door sticker and the title should all match. If they don't, walk away.
Start it cold
Ask the seller not to warm it up. A cold start tells you more about an engine than a test drive.
Pay for an inspection
An independent shop finds what no report can: worn tires, leaks, hidden bodywork.
Know the number
Compare the asking price to a trade-in value for the exact trim and miles. Our value tracker does that for free.
Questions.
Why do I tap an insurance quote?
The insurance company pays us for the visit, and that pays for your report. You don't have to buy anything from them, or even finish their form.
Do I need the VIN?
No. A plate and state finds it for you.
What's in the $9.99 PDF that the free report isn't?
Title history, salvage and damage, odometer readings, every owner since new.
How do I get the PDF?
Pay once with Stripe. It downloads on the next page and a private link is emailed.
Do I need an account?
No. The free report opens right here. The PDF is one payment and arrives by email.
Which cars can you check?
Any car with a 17-character VIN, which is every car sold in the US since 1981.
Can I check a car I already own?
Yes. Owners run it before selling, so there are no surprises when the buyer does.
Also for your car.
The same car, three more answers. Each one opens with the car already filled in.
