Questions about Carfax

How do I get a Carfax report?

Enter the VIN above, confirm the car and pay by card on Ameriabank's page. The report arrives by email as a PDF, usually within a few minutes, and also opens on its own page.

What if nothing is found for my VIN?

We look up the VIN before you pay and show the car's year, make and model first. If the VIN isn't found, nothing is charged. A report with few records is still delivered and isn't refunded.

Carfax or AutoCheck: which should I choose?

Carfax is more detailed on service records, while AutoCheck includes US auction records. For an auction car, AutoCheck is a good start; both together give the fullest picture.

Do I need an account?

No. You only enter the email address we send the report to.
