You’ve likely heard of vehicle history reports like Carfax or AutoCheck. These reports are excellent for getting a car’s digital past—its accident history, title status, and service records. But they are not a substitute for a physical inspection. A history report tells you what’s happened to the car on paper, but it can’t tell you about a ticking engine, worn-out tires, or a leak in the brake lines. A physical inspection tells you about the car’s current, real-world condition. Combining both gives you the ultimate peace of mind.
- A History Report is a Digital Record: It relies on what has been officially reported, but not all accidents or repairs are.
- An Inspection is a Physical Examination: Our inspectors physically check hundreds of points on the vehicle, from the engine and transmission to the interior and electronics.
- The Best Approach is Both: Use a history report to filter your options, and then use our professional inspection to confirm the vehicle’s true health before you buy.
