Scam site. Paid $3 for a Carfax knowing it probably wasn't legit. "403 Forbidden" came up after it said the report was ready. Reported to Chase for fraud.
Paid and when I click view report it just says 403 Forbidden. This is a total scam and doesn't actually generate your report. Whats App help, no one had logged in since March. Chat - read my messag... See more

Inexpensive but great results!
Works great - such an inexpensive way to find out the history of your investment and not pay a ton. Easier to run several reports when affordable to help make a more educated purchase decision :)

Works great!
I was a afraid of being scammed, having found this randomly on reddit, but I paid using CashApp and got the report in seconds.
Report also had a link to my original window sticker, which was awesome!

Props to VinWise
Hey, props to VinWise for offering this service! Everything worked like a charm, got the CarFax for a car I'm looking at when none was offered by the seller. It's good to be skeptical, but for now this is the real deal. I plan on using it again when the time comes.

Legit, Worthy
New website, but turns out it's legit. Compared to the prices of other competitors and it's major price difference, I decided to go through as it's only $3. Completely worth the money and will come back for more!

10/10 service
Was a bit skeptical at first because of the price being lower than most other sites, but pulled the trigger as it was only $3. Glad to say its not a scam and i saved myself $40. Report was given pretty fast(almost instant) and generated on request, not old reports like some other sites

Great price and good service
Great price and good service. Only costs $3 for a report versus $45 if you go directly through CarFax. The owner (I presume) was also kind enough to give me a coupon for a free report.
