MR
Marcus R.Dallas, TX

SL
Sarah L.Miami, FL
★★★★☆

JK
James K.Chicago, IL

“The auction photo section is unreal — actual damage photos from when the car was at Copart. No hiding anything.”

Common Questions

What is a VIN and where do I find it?+
A VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique 17-character code assigned to every vehicle manufactured after 1981. Find it on the lower-left dashboard (visible through the windshield), the driver’s door jamb sticker, your vehicle title, registration, or insurance card.
What data sources does VinScan use?+
We pull from NMVTIS, NHTSA, NICB, 50-state DMV registration data, Copart and IAAI auction records, major insurance carrier databases, and dealer service networks. Over 150 individual sources total.
Is the free check actually free? No hidden fees?+
Yes — completely free, no credit card needed. We don’t do “$1 trial” traps that auto-renew. The full history report is a single one-time charge with no recurring fees.
How accurate is the data?+
Our data comes directly from government and insurance sources. The inherent limitation of any report: cash repairs with no insurance claim, or service done at shops that don’t report to databases, won’t appear. Always pair a report with a pre-purchase inspection.
What vehicles does VinScan support?+
Any vehicle with a standard 17-digit VIN manufactured after 1981 — cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, motorcycles, RVs, motorhomes, trailers, and commercial vehicles. License plate lookup available in all 50 states.
How does the 5-Report Bundle work?+
You buy 5 report credits at once for $34.99. Credits are valid for 90 days and can be used on any 5 vehicles — useful when comparing several cars before deciding.
Can I download the report as a PDF?+
Yes. Every Full Report and Bundle report includes a PDF download you can save, print, or share with a mechanic.
Do you offer API access for dealers?+
Yes. We offer a dealer API for high-volume lookups. Contact us via the Dealer Program page for volume pricing and integration documentation.
