What's inside every report
Twenty-two data categories, grouped into the six things that actually change a buying decision.
Accident & damage records
Reported collisions, damage severity, airbag deployment, and structural damage flags — placed on a timeline so you can see when each event happened and how serious it was.
Title & brand checks
Salvage, junk, rebuilt, flood, hail, lemon buyback, and theft brands checked across state title registrations. A single brand can cut resale value by a third.
Odometer verification
Every reported mileage reading in one table, ordered by date, with automatic rollback detection when a later reading comes in lower than an earlier one.
Ownership history
How many owners the car has had, roughly how long each kept it, the states it was registered in, and whether it was used personally, commercially, or as a rental.
Open safety recalls
Manufacturer recalls that have not been marked as repaired, with the defect description — so you can get them fixed free at a franchise dealer.
Market value estimate
A current value estimate with a realistic range for the specific year, trim, mileage, and condition, so you can negotiate from data instead of a hunch.

How to run a report
Three steps, about a minute of your time.
Find the VIN
Check the windshield where it meets the dash, the driver's door jamb sticker, or the listing itself. It is always 17 characters.
Choose a tier
Basic for the documented record. Intelligent when you're seriously considering the car and want the deeper analysis.
Read and share
Your report is ready in seconds and saved to your dashboard. Print it, save it as a PDF, or email it to a mechanic or co-buyer.
Where the data comes from
Reports are compiled from state DMV title and registration records, insurance and salvage-auction records, service and inspection records, and manufacturer recall notices — including data reported through NMVTIS, the federal title database.
A report is a record, not a guarantee. Damage repaired privately without an insurance claim may never appear in any database — from us or from anyone else. Use the report to rule cars out and to know what to ask about, then confirm with a pre-purchase inspection.
