Very accurate site
Very accurate site, did previous car damage check and it came back with the information very accurate and I learned more about the car that I did not know, good value very accurate site, forget the rest and try the best in my opinion the rac car checker are the best as I'd tried a few prior to rac and some weren't accurate and some didn't tell me much for my money, would recommend to anyone, many regards and thanks.

Charged me twice for 1 report then refused to refund despite seeing that only 1 report came to me. Poor customer service said two reports yet only 1 car entered and 1 report received and on their records. Now ignoring me so £30 for 1 report paid. Won't use again, genuine review.
