Free Car Vin Check like Carfax or Autocheck
- Do Google Search for “dealer autocheck inurl:vin“
- Click first result that is not an ad. (Also skip forums and blogs that talk about this trick.)
- URL will look something like:
http://www.autoexact.com/
autocheck.aspx?vin=LONG_VIN_ NUMBER&Id=5122742 Replace LONG_VIN_NUMBER with your own car or motorcycle VIN:
http://www.autoexact.com/
autocheck.aspx?vin= 5TETX22N66Z267004&Id=5122742 (No spaces. This is only an example.)
- Hit Enter, or copy/paste the new address into a new window and hit Enter. If it does not work, use the next dealer website URL that comes up in search.
If you would like a 3rd-party website to do all this for you, then try www.geniusvin.com.
