Service details
Know what happens after you enter a VIN
These statements describe behavior implemented by the application rather than unsupported comparisons with another report provider.
Retrieval starts for the order
After an order is accepted, a background job retrieves the VIN-specific report and retries temporary upstream failures.
Keyed to your exact VIN
Your report is run against the specific 17-character VIN you enter, the real record for that car, not a generic sample dressed up to look like a report.
Free recall check first
For a decodable VIN, the landing page can query open NHTSA safety recalls before checkout.
Auto-refund if no data
If the databases return nothing for your VIN, your order is automatically queued for a full refund. You only ever pay for a report you actually receive.

Before checkout
Run the built-in NHTSA recall check.
When a VIN can be decoded to a year, make, and model, the landing page queries NHTSA for open safety recalls. Use the result alongside an inspection and other due diligence; no single lookup guarantees a complete history.

Quick helper
Where do I find the VIN?
The Vehicle Identification Number is a 17-character code, unique to every car. Here's where to look:
-
Dashboard, driver's sideLook through the windshield where the dash meets the glass.
-
Driver's door jambOn the sticker visible when the driver's door is open.
-
Title, registration & insurancePrinted on the vehicle's paperwork and most listings.
A VIN looks like this
JTDKN3DU9F1913965
World maker
(1–3) Vehicle specs
(4–9) Year & serial
(10–17)
(1–3) Vehicle specs
(4–9) Year & serial
(10–17)
The VIN never contains the letters I, O or Q, to avoid confusion with 1 and 0.

Questions
Everything you might be wondering.
You order a vehicle history report for the 17-character VIN you enter. When the report is ready, you can view it on screen and download the PDF. Available records vary by vehicle and by what source systems have received.
The current one-report price is shown before checkout. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. If you are signed in, you can also choose a report-credit pack from the published rate card.
Report retrieval starts after the order is accepted. The order page shows its status while the service works and retries temporary upstream failures. Delivery time varies, so we do not promise an unsupported average.
No. You buy as a guest with just an email address. One VIN equals one report, there's no subscription, and nothing to cancel later. You can claim a report into an account afterward if you want a permanent record.
Payments are processed securely by a PCI-compliant payment provider. Your card details are handled entirely by that provider and never stored on our servers, we keep only the last four digits and a transaction reference for refund support.
If the data source returns no record for the VIN, or the fetch fails after our retry budget is exhausted, your order is automatically queued for refund. The full amount goes back to your original card, you only ever pay for a report you actually receive.
