How it works

How to run a Carfax VIN check

  1. 1

    Enter the VIN

    Copy the 17-character VIN from the listing, the windshield, the door jamb, or the title. Our checker validates it as you type, so typos get caught before you spend anything.

  2. 2

    Pick a report pack

    Choose one report, or save with a pack if you want cheap Carfax reports in volume. Payment takes under a minute and the credits appear in your account immediately. There is no subscription.

  3. 3

    Run the check

    From your dashboard, confirm the vehicle we decoded from your VIN and spend one credit. If we can't produce your report, the credit is automatically returned.

  4. 4

    Read and keep the report

    The full history opens in seconds: accidents, title brands, odometer readings, owners, service records, and recalls. Reports stay saved in your account for whenever you need them.

Try it with your VIN

Find the VIN on the driver-side dashboard, door jamb, or your title.
