When you're about to drop thousands of dollars on a used car, a $40 report seems like a small price to pay. But with so many options like CARFAX, AutoCheck, and VinAudit, which one should you actually trust? We've analyzed all three to find the winner.
Data Sources & Accuracy
CARFAX is known for its service records. AutoCheck is the dealer favorite for auction scores. VinAudit is the go-to for clean NMVTIS data at a low cost. For most buyers, a combination of these or an aggregator report is the smartest move.
The Verdict
If price is your main concern, VinAudit or an aggregator like VIN Info Hub is the clear winner. If you need every service record ever recorded, CARFAX is the heavyweight champion.
