CarCheckerVIN

Buying a used car? See what's really on file before you pay for it

CarCheckerVIN turns any VIN into answers. Scan the barcode on the door jamb, type the 17 characters, or look a car up by its license plate — the free decode shows year, make, model, engine, and factory details in seconds, and every car you check lands on your shortlist so you can compare candidates side by side while you shop.

WHAT THE FULL REPORT CONTAINS One flat price. No subscription. Before you buy, the app shows you exactly how many records are on file — photos, auction records, damage records — so you always know what you're paying for.

• Title history and brand checks (salvage, junk, rebuilt, flood, lemon) • Ownership history with states and time held • Accident and damage records with reported point of impact • Odometer readings over time, with rollback detection • Auction sale records — including the photos from past listings • Theft, lien and impound checks • Market value, usage history, and a plain-language risk summary • 20 sections in total, verified against NMVTIS-approved data sources

RECALL ALERTS — FREE, FOREVER Recall data is public, so it stays free in this app. Add the car you own to My Garage and we watch NHTSA for new safety recalls, with an alert the moment one is published — including urgent park-outside warnings. No purchase needed, ever.

BUILT FOR THE LOT The VIN barcode scanner reads the door jamb or windshield in one pass, works in low light, and falls back to text recognition for printed VINs. No account required — buy a report and we email it to you, yours to keep.
