A free VIN check on EpicVIN runs the vehicle identification number (VIN) through 70 databases and returns the specs, open recalls, odometer status and the number of accidents, sales and owners on file in about 30 seconds. The full VIN report opens every record behind those numbers: salvage-auction photos with damage estimates, each odometer reading, title records, past listings with prices and the owners by state.
Check Your VIN for FreeEvery EpicVIN Vehicle History Report turns one vehicle identification number (VIN) into a detailed vehicle history check: title records, accident history, odometer readings and every owner on record
Odometer fraud leaves a trace: a later reading lower than an earlier one, and the report shows both.

Accident history and total loss records come straight from auctions and insurers, with photos where an auction took them.
Check Your Car
Theft records from the NICB catch a stolen car put back on sale and a VIN that thieves steal from a legal car to clone.

EpicVIN is an approved NMVTIS data provider. The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System is the U.S. Department of Justice database where state motor vehicle agencies, insurers and salvage yards file their records and where law enforcement looks them up, built to protect consumers from fraud and unsafe vehicles and to keep stolen cars off the resale market. Every EpicVIN report carries its title brands, odometer readings and total loss records: accurate and complete vehicle information from the source. Most services stop there. EpicVIN adds a layer of its own: salvage-auction records with photos and damage estimates, past listings with prices and dealer photos, and prior use as a rental, taxi or fleet car, so a title that reads clean still shows you the car on the auction lot.

Michael Reid
"Good information. Easily read, no pay more traps. Gives a ton of info I didn`t even know was reportable. Ran on a car I want to by and now I know there are 13 recalls on it."
Jaan Doggwiler"Was totally worth the introductory fee of $1, which i would have continued to use if i had seriously considered purchasing a car. The report was helpful and offered insight into the vehicles` history. I was able to see previous sales and photos from previous listings, mileage reports as well as service records."
CMCharles McKay"Great tool for finding out the history of used cars. Instantly revealed issues with vehicles that saved me a lot of time. Reports contained information not found from some other providers."
Michael Garcia"I just needed a quick check on 1 vehicle. Epic Vin was able to deliver great results at a great price. I was able to easily cancel subscription without having to make phone calls or emails. Deliverd a quick peace of mind. Thank you!"
JFjovan figueroa"Epic Vin provides detailed car reports. I`ve tried a variety of sites, the cheaper sites don`t have detailed car reports and the more expensive websites like carfax offer detailed reports but only provide a limited amount. I first did the $1 trial and because I liked the reports that the site provided I than purchased the $50 a month membership with unlimited car reports option. Good purchase."
Mark Saba II"Did the three day trial to find info on a car I already owned. I think it would certainly be worth it to use it before you purchase a car though. Had old photos from previous sales which was cool. If I was buying and selling cars more often I would use this for sure."
