What’s a good alternative to Carfax for checking a car’s history?

[Michael J. Ginn]

Hey everyone,

I’m thinking about getting a 2024 Toyota Tacoma and want to make sure everything checks out first. I’m mainly looking to see if there are any red flags like accidents or title issues, but I don’t really want to spend a ton on something like Carfax.

Have you guys used any other services that are reliable but more affordable? I’d love to hear your suggestions.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Really don't know other than there's several inter web sites if doing a search by entering a vehicle's vin number to check history.

I had to dig around quite a bit, but I stumbled on a site Detailed Vehicle History, where you can get a super detailed report on vehicles at a reasonable price. I even grilled their chat rep with tons of questions, and to my surprise, they were super patient and answered everything. They also gave me a 40% discount for my first purchase using the code SAVE40. The report was packed with all the details I needed—definitely worth checking out if you’re looking for an alternative to Carfax!
