Didn't work for me but Vinaudit fixed it

Checked for a vehicle report and received info that was available for free on some other websites! The only "non-free" data that I was given was the car mileage and the date that mileage was recorded!!!

So I went contacted Vinaudit since their website mentions "guarenteed satisfaction" and they agreed that the info about the car is not in their system. So they issued a refund.

VIN Audit were very professional.

VIN Audit and the representative that I spoke to on the phone were very helpful and professional. After conducting a VIN Audit, the information that I required with VIN Audit was not made available. After calling the company and explaining the situation, they were very polite and gave me a refund. I would definitely recommend VIN Audit. Thank you.

Classic Car History post 1990

I was interested in buying a 1968 classic car. Due to it's age I was concerned that any past history could not be obtained. Vinaudit assured me that post 1990 records if any and available could be obtained.

Sent in a request with questions …

Sent in a request with questions & got them all answered so satisfactorly & courtesiely.
I saw that you would get back in 2-3 hours but it was more like 20-30 hours so be careful what you promise.
I happened to notice, only because I went to About Us page that you were open M-F 9-5 or 8-5, PST so I knew it would be awile for a response because I sent it in on mid day Sunday.

Total scam

Total scam. They have agents posing as potential buyers and asking you to submit an MVA report to them first. DON’T FALL FOR IT. Use carfax instead. Scam company.

SCAM

SCAM! These guys are posing as potential buyers for private vehicle sellers. (Craiglist, Kijiji, FB market place). Once they make contact they push a Motor Vehicle Report from VinAudit on the seller. DONT BUY THE REPORT! You will never hear from the person posing as a interested buyer again and your out money for the report. ICBC will provide a VIN report free of charge.

Would not trust myvinaudit

This looks like it is similar to myvinaudit.com. I had a "car buyer" that wanted to purchase my car and gave me a reference to that site. When I just sent on my VIN to him he got all nasty and said that it was my job to get the report. When I told him the site was a scam I never heard from him again. Highly suspicious. Don't waste your money or time with illegit car buyers.

Hi Anthony,

My name is Andy, I'm the head of operations for VinAudit. I would like to understand the reason behind your negative feedback. Mind sharing some context here?

I would also like to give you some background on VinAudit. VinAudit is an official, first-level consumer access provider for the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System. You will see us on the Government data base as an approved vehicle history provider: https://vehiclehistory.bja.ojp.gov/nmvtis_vehiclehistory
We're a small business located in Kirkland, WA & we have been in the vehicle history space since 2011.

To my knowledge myvinaudit.com is an unauthorized reports reseller & we have received quite a few reports about their scam. You may forward some of those emails you have received from myvinaudit.com for us to investigate further.

I would also like to offer you some VinAudit Report Credits so you can pull up vehicle history reports for free. I just need your email address to set this up.

Lastly, I would like to ask you how else can I bring you value so I can earn your trust and revise your feedback here. Please let me know.

Best,

I purchased a VinAudit report on September 29 2020

I purchased a VinAudit report on Tuesday, September September 29 2020. The report had no information not even the name of the owner who I might add owned the truck from new. How can a report show NO owner history at all?? There was also a from end accident that shows in another report I did from a competitor. So I call there 800 number over two days 25 time, now answer. This must be a scam as emails and calls to there 800 number go unanswered.

I want to compliment and thank Mary…

I want to compliment and thank Mary Doydora, Account Manager for providing me with outstanding customer service yesterday. I called VinAudit feeling frustrated and confused about the source in a report I purchased from you on my vehicle, and by the end of the call I was very satisfied with the outcome. She went above and beyond, dedicated to helping me. I also want to thank VinAudit for hiring such a kind, patient, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable account manager. I was one of those customers who took too much of her time, but Indiana I've got a smile on my face for you. Keep it up Mary!
