How Vehicle History Reports Are Created
Vehicle history reports are compiled by private companies from information provided by state Departments of Motor Vehicles, auto auctions, repair shops, rental agencies, and police and fire departments.
State agencies like the DMV do not maintain detailed historical records of vehicles, at least not to the extent needed by used car buyers or insurance companies. So a number of years ago, private companies began to compile as much information as possible on the history of cars by obtaining all available information from DMVs, law enforcement, and a number of automotive-related companies. This is a long and costly process, as you can imagine the effort needed to contact all the different individuals familiar with the history of a car.
What's In the Report
The report might include:
- Major accidents.
- Major repairs and body work.
- Salvage and flood info.
Fortunately, vehicle history reports are compiled so we don’t have to do the research ourselves. Thanks to the cooperation of state DMVs, law enforcement, and a number of other principals familiar with the accident and repair history of cars, we now have access to vehicle history reports at our fingertips. With just a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), anyone can access a car’s vehicle history report in minutes.
If you’d like to view all the information compiled from a particular vehicle’s history, take a moment now and order your vehicle history report. Ordering online is secure and easy and will get you the information you need right away.
