Waste of money

Waste of money. Didn’t tell me anything free sites couldn’t tell me. Was hoping to see mot history but it shows nothing other than what I already knew. Wouldn’t recommend and will never use again.

Rubbish inaccurate data

Rubbish ! Data cannot be trusted. Told me there was outstanding finance on a vehicle I was looking to buy. Finance company confirmed it had been removed on 4th November 2021, so data is 2 months out of date. They told me Experian and HPI shows this. Will be using them next time!

Good Old Days !

As a senior citizen, I really appreciated the fantastic service provided at mycar Clyde. It was a flashback to the good old days. Lachie and Henry were extremely helpful, happy to help, knowledgeable and quick and efficient. Return customer for life!

Nearly cost me the sale of my car…

Nearly cost me the sale of my car informing the potential buyer that it had outstanding finance on a 20 year old car!! Said finance was taken out oct 2006 for 198 month term !! and that it was taken out with Lloyds, who found this very comical on the phone chat I had with them! Used 2 other companies to preform the check and it came back clean as a whistle! Avoid

Bought this to check a car I was going to purchase came back clear. I bought the car on this basis then when someone had said it was damaged I did a further check and it came back stating that it had been a Category N damaged car. How can they get this wrong its a straight lift from the DVLA!! Useless service if the data is wrong on such a major point and no come back of course

If I could give this service 0 stars I…

If I could give this service 0 stars I would. They do not offer any guarantee as to the accuracy of the information within the report. I bought a car on the basis of the no outstanding finance entry within their report only to find out that the car was in fact on finance. It is likely that I'll lose the car and the money I paid. Avoid at all costs and make use of either HPI or Experian as both offer insurance against incorrect information as standard. |

Terrible lying service

Terrible service, gave me false information on my car saying it had outstanding finance when it hadn’t after paying. I wouldn’t recommend this service . I then had to use confused.com which gave the the correct information.

Never use them ever, nothing is accurate and no comeback

THEY dont reply to you. They have no gaurantees against wrong information. I paid for the searches on a vehicle that came back as not stolen etc etc. It was stolen, I had no come back and lost 13000... this is not a joke, they are not worth wasting your time. Pay the AA for a vehicle check. I will never use them again and tell everyone I know that they are a waste of time.
