## Description

**carVertical** helps you research used cars and motorcycles with VIN lookup and vehicle history reports. Enter a vehicle identification number to review available mileage records, accident and damage history, theft checks, taxi or commercial use, historical photos, ownership changes, price history, service-related details, and equipment information.

Use a report to compare a vehicle’s recorded history with the seller’s claims and identify potential red flags before you buy, sell, or inspect a used vehicle. carVertical can help you make more informed decisions and avoid unexpected repair costs caused by hidden damage, mileage rollbacks, theft records, or poor maintenance.

## Review summary

User reviews commonly criticize carVertical for poor data quality and incomplete vehicle histories, with missing details like accidents, production year, mileage. Several reviews cite data inconsistencies, such as conflicting engine type. Pricing is a major concern: high costs, credit expirations, and perceived low value. Users also report that country coverage is limited per purchase and that multi-country checks are misleading. Reliability issues like app freezes and reports disappearing aggravate dissatisfaction, along with reports of poor customer service and refunds, leading many to question the app's trustworthiness.

### Pros

- Some reviewers recommended the app or described it as good.
- Support responsiveness helped resolve issues for some users.
- Some users value the concept of vehicle history checks provided by the app.

### Cons

- Data quality is poor: reports are often empty or lack critical details (accidents, mileage, production year).
- Data can be inconsistent or incorrect (e.g., conflicting or wrong vehicle attributes like fuel type).
- High prices and expiring credits, leading to perceived low value for money.
- Limited country coverage per purchase and claims of multi-country checks being misleading.
- Reliability concerns: app freezes or doesn’t work, reports disappear or are inaccessible, and support is unresponsive or perceived as untrustworthy.
