Hi everyone, we built a vehicle history report offering that I wanted to share and get some feedback on. It collects data from over 1,200 sources across North America and compiles to a single clean report like Carfax and Autocheck. We would really value any feedback from anyone currently in the researching/buying/selling phase - what pieces of information are / were essential in your recent purchases? Thank you!
