Marcus T.
Austin, TX
The report showed 2 unreported accidents and the asking price was $3,200 above market. Walked away from that deal and found a better car the next week.
2018 Chevy Malibu
Priya S.
San Jose, CA
Used the monthly plan while shopping for 6 weeks. Checked 14 cars and found one clean one. Worth every penny — the subscription paid for itself on the first bad car I avoided.
2020 Toyota RAV4
Derek O.
Chicago, IL
The mileage rollback detection is what got me. Seller claimed 61k miles, CarCheck flagged it as inconsistent. DMV confirmed it was actually 94k. Would have been a disaster.
2017 Honda Civic
Anita R.
Miami, FL
Super easy to use. I just typed in the plate number and had a full report in about 45 seconds. The ownership cost section helped me realize the BMW I was looking at was going to cost twice what I budgeted.
