  • Buying a used car always has its drawbacks---the vehicle could be a "lemon." On the other hand, you can save a lot of money buying a well-maintained, previously owned car. AutoCheck offers a way to perform due diligence on potential used car purchases.

    Identification

    AutoCheck refers to Experian's (known for credit history reports) attempt to compete directly with CarFax in the vehicle history report service sector, according to Experian.

    Function

    AutoCheck, as do all vehicle history reports, serves as a simple tool to gather research on a vehicle to see if any public records exist that can you tell more about the car and its history. With any used car, you can never truly know if the car has had a troubled past, such as accidents or liens against the car.

    Features

    Experian's AutoCheck gives you a detailed report on the car's Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Typical information includes the number of past drivers, pertinent damage information and maintenance records. In addition, AutoCheck will rank the car numerically against similar automobiles.

    Types

    You can purchase a single AutoCheck report for $19.99, 60 days of unlimited VIN checks for $29.99 and you can add TitleGuard---insurance against fraudulent titles---for $49.99, reports Experian.

    Considerations

    You might want to explore AutoCheck and CarFax before deciding which company you should go with for your vehicle history report needs.
