Has all the basic information, but with $29.95 is about $16 cheaper than Car fax. Good if you buy a used car, to ensure no accidents and regular maintenance. On the other hand Car Fax has a bit m... See more

This report gave me all the information need to make my decision
This report gave me all the information I needed to make informed decision about a used car that I was looking to purchase. I will never buy another used car without using this service.
Excellent report
The purchase process was smooth and easy and Having seen a Carfax history on the same vehicle, I was very impressed how better structured your content was and mush more desirable detail. Next time I need a report I will definitely use you again!!
Intuitive and easy to use
Excellent Customer Service
I've had several questions and doubts regarding the information provided on the car reports that I've downloaded. The Zilocar team hasn't only been prompt to reply, but are clear and thorough with their answers.

Zilocar has saved me a whole lot of what could have been very bad vehicle purchases!! I’ve been lied to, pressured etc. about how great their vehicle is. When I use Zilocar the truth is right there in black and white. I will never purchase a vehicle without checking it out for an accuracy !
Zilocar is Garbage - Avoid
*April 12, 2026 update* Read the 1 star reviews and you'll see a common theme.
Additionally, take the time to mark the reviews as useful. Initially, I didn't. Tonight, I did. Hope it helps others to just simply get a Carfax. They are reliable, trusted by dealers, consumers and financial institutions for a reason.
TL/DR : The report is inaccurate. Call the dealer you are buying from or call a bank and get a free Carfax (or pay for one, its worth it). These reports are devoid of any useful information. Wrecked cars come back clean on their reports.
While I *did* get a refund from these guys after receiving two grossly inaccurate reports, I am still bombarded with back and forth emails (on a Sunday) telling me to change my 1 star rating here. Yes, I got my money back. A refund doesnt make garbage suddenly deserve a better rating. If I could give zero stars I would.
Read the 1 star reviews here. They are ALL telling the same basic story. AVOID these guys. Its a bogus product devoid of accurate info.
My review, as written originally, is as follows:
Garbage. I looked at a used truck that the dealer listed as having prior collision damage. I had my bank run a Carfax which confirmed it had been damaged but it was "minor". I had read that Zilocar was detailed and decided it would give me more details.
It listed the vehicle as accident free.
I ran my wife's car's VIN knowing full well we had an insurance claim on it years ago to see how it came back. It also came back clear and accident free.
I contacted Zilocar for an immediate refund. They requested a copy of the Carfax to compare. I complied. Then then asked for my insurance information. Ill cut and paste from the email I received:
" To help us investigate further, we kindly ask if you could share the insurance report for your personal vehicle. With this, we can cross‑examine the data and, if necessary, contact the insurance provider directly to better understand why the incident was not reflected in our system."
Contact my insurance provider? For a $28 refund on a bogus vehicle report?
No thanks. I decided to invest my own time this evening to type this out to warn others. This was a pure waste of money. If anyone wants my remaining 48 credits/reports for the month, they can have them. ;)

Made me looking at purchasing a vehicle more trusting. Helped me understand the value and what I was getting.
Gives information you can find for free
My report was full of info I was able to find online for free, just basic useless info. One car I put through a different service came up with an accident, the police report number and mileage. Zilocar didn't give me any of those results so I'm glad I went with the better search site or I would have bought a car with high mileage and damage from an accident. I sent an email two days ago complaining and asking for a refund with no answer. I am trying to cancel but am finding it difficult. My advice steer clear from this site.

The detail in the report! Break down of price ,history and ownership!
Used Zilocar to check the status of a…vehicle title
Used Zilocar to check the status of a VIN# on a used vehicle I was interested in purchasing and found it to be very helpful as good as carfax actually a little cheaper than carfax found out the vehicle I was interested in had previously had a salvage title something the seller more than likely would’ve failed to mention. Well worth whatever it cost to check the VIN# of a vehicle you’re interested in purchasing save a lot of money down the road from people that aren’t completely honest about the car they’re selling
Salvage Yard Photos Appreciation
I received very graphic photos on my reports from salvage yards, which I appreciated very much. They really saved the day and my pocketbook.
The Temu of vehicle reports
Based off of other reviews I gave this website a try. When I pulled out the vin there was no history on the car. I then used Carfax and complete history pulled up.
I did contact customer service about getting a refund. But based off of terms and conditions I can’t since I pulled one car report. I gave it two stars because the customer service rep was very quick to respond.

And the accuracy was everything that I…
And the accuracy was everything that I expected and actually surpassed my initial review. I found out information about my vehicle that I needed to know to make a buying decision and I was glad I was able to do that upfront. Very easy to digest the information that was given and the format is fantastic.
Very comprehensive
Very comprehensive, better tan any other reports have sued.
