Check before you buy: complete vehicle history reports in seconds

Every full report covers NMVTIS title history, with each state title event dated and its odometer reading, salvage, junk, flood, rebuilt, and buyback brands, total-loss history, an odometer trail with rollback checks, accident and damage records with photos where available, theft records, NHTSA recalls, vehicle specifications, and an estimated market value.

Yes. Decoding a VIN or looking up a license plate shows you the vehicle's make, model, year, and specifications at no cost. You only pay when you unlock the full history report.

TrulyCar is an approved consumer-access provider of NMVTIS, the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System, the federal title database run under the U.S. Department of Justice that state title agencies report into. That is where title brands like salvage, junk, rebuilt, and flood live, along with insurance total-loss and junk-yard records; the DOJ publishes a plain-language consumer page about what the system covers at vehiclehistory.bja.ojp.gov. Factory build specifications and open safety recalls come from NHTSA, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. On top of the federal records, reports pull salvage and wholesale auction archives, including photos when they exist for the VIN, theft records, and a chronological odometer trail. Every report names what it found and, just as plainly, what it did not find, so an empty section means the databases returned nothing for that VIN.

Reports are generated in seconds after checkout. You can view them in your dashboard, download a PDF, or print a certificate-style copy.

Two features, both built on your report's own records. TrulyBear's Read is a plain-English summary with a Buy, Negotiate, or Walk Away verdict, generated from the records in your report and validated against them. Ask TrulyCar is a chat on every paid report that answers questions about that specific car; anything drawn from general car knowledge rather than your report is labeled as such, and neither feature ever invents a record or a price.

No. Credits from any pack stay in your account until you use them, and you can run a report on any VIN whenever you're ready.

If we can't produce a report for your VIN, you're refunded or re-credited automatically. If it comes back with no history records on file at all, you keep the report and a credit is added back to your account for another VIN. No ticket, no request.
