What our customers say
Reviews from real buyers who checked a car before closing the deal.
“The report revealed hidden damage to the front rail. Good thing I checked before buying — it saved me a lot of money and nerves.”
“Fast and clear. I was buying a car from the USA — I saw the full Copart auction history and photos taken at the time of the sale.”
“The best service for checking mileage. The chart immediately showed a mismatch — the seller had rolled back 40 thousand kilometers.”
“I checked the car by license plate before the inspection. It turned out the car had been used as a taxi — the seller kept quiet about it.”
“Very useful overall. There wasn't much data on this particular car, but it found the auction history and photos — that was enough to decide.”
“I bought a turnkey car from the States. The report showed the real post-accident damage — it helped me negotiate a lower price.”
“I check every car before buying through AutoNews. A handy report, everything sorted out — registrations, owners, risks.”
“I found a car at auction and instantly looked up the lot number. All the photos and the final bid — right there in plain view. Very handy for dealers.”
“It helped me avoid a car with a lien. The legal risks in the report are a real plus — the bank confirmed the encumbrance.”
