Only for iPhone

iPhone
See every record on file — photos, auctions, accidents — before you commit. Decode any VIN, look up any plate, and get recall alerts on every car you check.
Before you hand over the cash, find out what the seller isn't telling you.
CarCheckerVIN turns a VIN or a license plate into a straight answer about a
used car — and shows you exactly what's on file before you pay anything.
FREE, NO ACCOUNT NEEDED
• Decode any VIN — year, make, model, engine, transmission, factory build
• Look a car up by license plate
• Scan the VIN barcode straight off the door jamb or windshield
• See how many photos, auction records and damage records exist for that
car BEFORE you decide whether the paid report is worth buying
That last point is the whole difference. Most apps hide the record count
until after you've paid. We show it first, so you never buy a report on a
car with nothing on file.
THE FULL REPORT — 20 SECTIONS
• Title brands: salvage, junk, rebuilt, flood, lemon and more
• Ownership history, with states and how long each owner kept it
• Accident and damage records, including reported point of impact
• Odometer readings over time, with rollback detection
• Auction sale records, with the photos from those listings
• Theft, lien and impound checks
• Market value and usage history
• An overall condition grade and a plain-language summary
Data comes from NMVTIS-approved sources.
RECALL ALERTS — FREE, FOREVER
Safety recall data is public, so we don't charge for it. Every car you check
gets watched: we monitor NHTSA and alert you the moment a new recall is
published, including urgent park-outside warnings. No purchase required,
ever. Recalls are repaired free at any franchised dealer.
ONE FLAT PRICE, NO SUBSCRIPTION
Buy a single report, or a pack that banks credits you can spend on other
cars later — useful when you're comparing several before you commit. No
monthly fee, no account to create. Your report arrives by email as a PDF
and it's yours to keep.
BUILT FOR THE LOT
Standing at the car with the seller waiting? Scan the barcode, read the free
decode in seconds, and check the full history on your phone before you make
an offer.
Reports cover vehicles titled in the United States and Canada.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
The App Store page now speaks 40+ languages, so friends and family abroad can read about the app in their own.
In case you missed the last update: the VIN decoder tab. Type, scan or plate-lookup any VIN and read it character by character — year, make, model, engine, transmission, plant and body style — with a check-digit verdict that catches typos and fake VINs.
