Questions buyers ask
Is the VIN check free?
Yes. Enter any VIN to see the vehicle's specs, safety recalls for the model, auction photos and how many damage and sale records are on file, at no cost. The full history report with title brands, salvage, odometer and auction details is paid: $19.99 for one report, or as little as $4.55 a report with Subscribe & Save.
Where do I find the VIN?
The 17-character VIN is on the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver's door jamb, and on the registration, insurance card and title.
Where does the report data come from?
Full reports are ClearVin's official vehicle history report. ClearVin is an approved NMVTIS data provider, so title and brand data comes from the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System, alongside insurance, junk/salvage, auction and recall sources.
How fast do I get the report?
Usually within a minute of paying. It opens in your browser and we email you the PDF.
How does Subscribe & Save work?
You get 35% off: for example 3 reports for $18.19 a month instead of $27.99 one-time. It renews monthly with the same number of reports, unused reports stay in your account, and you can cancel anytime from Account → Billing.
Is VinCheck a good alternative to Carfax?
For most used-car buyers, yes. You get official NMVTIS title data, salvage and insurance records, odometer readings and auction history for $19.99 a report, or from $4.55 with Subscribe & Save, versus $44.99 for one Carfax report. Carfax has some service and accident records we may not have.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. Every purchase comes with a 30-day refund on unused reports: email support@vincheck.it.com within 30 days. Bundles are refunded for the reports you haven't used, at the per-report rate you paid.
Which payment methods do you accept?
Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Link, Cash App Pay and Amazon Pay. Checkout shows the methods available for your order; pay-later options are never offered on Subscribe & Save.
