Know the Story Before You Buy.

CarIntel makes it easy to access a vehicle’s history in just a few simple steps. Enter the vehicle’s 17-character VIN into our search tool, and our system securely checks multiple trusted automotive, insurance, registration, and public data sources. You’ll receive a detailed report highlighting the vehicle’s history, specifications, ownership records (where available), accident information, recalls, and other important insights to help you make an informed decision.

A Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a unique 17-character code assigned to every vehicle. It acts as the vehicle’s fingerprint and contains important manufacturing and identification details.

You can usually find the VIN:

• On the driver’s side dashboard near the windshield
• Inside the driver’s door frame
• On the vehicle registration certificate
• On the insurance documents
• In the owner’s manual

A CarIntel report provides valuable information to help you better understand a vehicle before purchasing or selling it. Depending on data availability, your report may include:

• Vehicle specifications
• Manufacturer details
• Accident or damage records
• Title and registration history
• Odometer and mileage records
• Ownership history
• Theft status
• Open safety recalls
• Service and maintenance records
• Market valuation insights
• Import and export history
• Technical specifications

Available information may vary depending on the country, vehicle age, and available database records.

CarIntel reports are delivered within time mentioned on the package after your payment is successfully processed. In some cases, if additional verification from external databases is required, delivery may take slightly longer. You’ll receive your completed report by email as soon as it’s ready.

CarIntel gathers information from trusted automotive databases, government records, insurance providers, inspection authorities, and other verified sources. While we strive to provide accurate and up-to-date information, the completeness of a report depends on the records available from these sources. We always recommend using the report alongside a professional vehicle inspection before making a purchasing decision.

Absolutely. A CarIntel report is designed to help buyers identify potential risks before completing a purchase. Reviewing a vehicle’s history beforehand can reveal previous accidents, title issues, mileage inconsistencies, theft records, recalls, and other important details that may affect the vehicle’s value, safety, or reliability. It’s an essential step toward making a more confident buying decision.

If your report identifies concerns such as accident history, title branding, mileage discrepancies, theft records, or unresolved recalls, don’t panic, but don’t ignore them either. We recommend discussing the findings with the seller, requesting supporting documentation, and arranging an independent mechanical inspection. Understanding these issues before completing the purchase can help you negotiate a fair price or avoid a potentially costly investment.
