What real users say about CARFAX and AutoCheck

  • “CARFAX shows 9 records on a vin i am going to check on, AutoCheck shows 11”

  • “Having used both, I find that AutoCheck often finds more errors and reports more information than CARFAX.”

  • “I have seen a Trend among dealers to avoid AutoCheck for two reasons. First, CARFAX has better brand recognition… The other reason in my opinion is that AutoCheck delivers more information, which from a dealer stand point isin’t always a good thing if you are trying to sell a car. I would recommend AutoCheck.”

  • “5 reports or unlimited reports for the same price? Will anyone want the first option?”

  • “If you are really concerned though and are positive this is the vehicle, you can always use both.

I think you would be just fine with AutoCheck though.”

  • “I actually prefer AutoCheck because the report is easier to read, (better layout) & provides a little more information than CARFAX.

AutoCheck is a little cheaper, so I find it has more value for the money.”
