Good Customer Service, Useless Report
BrentMcM
I paid for a report on my 15 year old Range Rover in hope that I could find where the had car lived for its first 5 years and any info on the body work from some form of accident as well as see title information. The report had virtually no data. Not even Country of Origin- it said UKNOWN. Come on. Range Rovers have been made in the UK for over 50 yrs! Unknown damage report, then unknown for all title and location of sale information. No dealer service info at all. The only thing it showed was Mileage which is outdated by 5 yrs or more. I googled more information than this report provided- far more. They would NOT refund, but gave me a limited time credit for another report that I’ll never be able to use.I am required to report that Car vertical gave me an additional credit for another report. So I put in the VIN of my other car a 2024 Land Rover bought from the dealer and we have had now for a year. It has been dealer serviced and has been titled in our name for quite some time. The report was completely blank. No dates, no transfers, no services, nothing. I cannot emphasize this enough: do not use Car Vertical if you are in the United States.

Expensive and unhelpful
DHatl2025
Have tried this app on a couple of occasions now and each time have been disappointed with the results. Either being provided incorrect information, paying for information thats free on other basic checkers or simply not being able to find vehicle details based on vin plates or reg. its pushed by automotive YouTubers as the holy grail of car checkers but it falls a long way short. Also be warned, if you purchase multiple reports, they expire after around 6 months.

Not as it seems
Richierich241
I submitted a report for a car I wanted to purchase. It showed no issues on carVertical. Once I purchased the vehicle I was made aware afterwards it’s been in an accident. I ran another report on another car history website and it showed the car has been in 3 accidents! I am very disappointed in this app and I will no longer be using this app to help me when purchasing or doing background checks on vehicles.
Developer Response
Thank you for sharing your story. That is a very distressing situation, and we completely understand your frustration and disappointment in our service. We are truly sorry that this happened.While we strive to have the most comprehensive reports, we are ultimately reliant on the digital records provided by our partners. The reality of the industry is that no company has access to every single database, and it seems in this case, a competitor had access to accident records that we did not. This is not the standard we aim for, and we understand that this explanation does not change your negative outcome.We want to make this right. Please contact our support team at support@carvertical.com with your report details.
