Quick VIN decode, clean report, way cheaper than Carfax. Wish more US-specific data were included but the free decode alone saved me from a salvage title.

They avoided a bad deal
Real customers, real cars, real money saved.
Checked a used Tacoma I was about to buy off Craigslist. NHTSA recalls came up I didn't know about — got the seller to fix them before I closed.
Saved me $40 vs Carfax for the same kind of info on a 2017 Civic. Decode was instant, report PDF was clean enough to forward to my mechanic.
