A VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is a unique code that identifies each vehicle. Any car or light truck built from 1981 onward will have a 17-digit VIN.

Most VINs are located on the lower left side of the dashboard and can be read through the windshield. You can also check the driver-side door jamb, as well as your title, registration, or insurance documents. Once found, enter the VIN into our “Enter Your VIN” field.

A VHR uses the VIN to access records from national databases, insurers, and government agencies (like NMVTIS). It is essential because it uncovers critical details such as hidden damage, previous salvage/flood titles, odometer discrepancies, and a vehicle’s usage history (e.g., taxi, rental).

Our data is aggregated from multiple trusted sources, including the NMVTIS, state motor vehicle departments, insurance carriers, salvage yards, recycling facilities, and proprietary records from partners like Copart and NICB.

Our reports are delivered almost instantly. After you enter the VIN and complete your purchase, the report is generated and automatically emailed to you within minutes.

We can run reports on most US-titled vehicles, including passenger cars, light trucks, motorcycles, and some commercial vehicles. Vehicles built before 1981 may have fewer records, as VIN standardization was not yet in place.

Yes, GoCheckAuto is a proud provider of NMVTIS-compliant reports, guaranteeing you receive verified title and brand information for U.S.-titled vehicles as mandated by federal law.

This section details any records of accidents, damage, or major issues reported by insurers or repair facilities. This includes frame/structural damage, salvage/flood titles, fire damage, and records of theft and recovery.

Our comprehensive pre-purchase inspections are performed by certified inspectors and typically cover hundreds of checkpoints, including: the exterior/body, mechanical components (engine, transmission, brakes), electrical systems, interior condition, and a full on-road test drive.

You can schedule an inspection on our website by providing the vehicle’s location and the seller’s contact details. We coordinate with the seller and dispatch an inspector, usually within 24 to 48 hours. The inspection itself takes about 60 to 90 minutes.

We utilize a large network of dedicated inspectors across the state. Please check the “Areas” section of our website or enter the vehicle’s zip code during scheduling to confirm immediate service availability.

Our inspection provides a professional, objective assessment of the vehicle’s condition at the time of inspection. While it is not a warranty on the car itself, we guarantee the professional quality and thoroughness of our inspection service.
