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

Fantastic Product
I like they offer multiple payment options, you can purchase a single report, buy a month subscription or longer subscription options. The report is comprehensive and easy to read. It has already paid for itself by saving me from buying a real problem!
Reasonable price for same information
Reasonable price! Gives all the same info as the big name car background check sources but much better price! Definitely recommend if looking for a used car!
A very thorough report

Quick easy way to check a used vehicle's history. It's easy to buy one month when you're looking to buy a car and check multiple vehicles.
Easy to use
Easy to use and provided a full report on the minivan that I decided to purchase. I suggest that they add the the window sticker to their report.
These automatic charges are extortion…
These automatic charges are extortion using a check box for confirmation of service with NO notification of renewal. Unethical and a Credit Card pirate

Affordable Option if Evaluating Multiple Car Options
We were in the market for a car, and this was the easiest/most affordable way to get a general check on all the cars we were looking at. It might not be as detailed as some competitors, but it provided the exact amount of information we needed to make an informed decision.
Quick and easy to use
Quick and easy to use. Really gave me piece of mind doing a deep dive into the cars history prior to purchasing. Zilocars report helped make my decisIon to purchase so much easier.
Definitely Recommend
I was pleased with how wasy it was to get a vehicle report and the easy odor the report in terms of reading and understanding.
Use before purchasing a vehicle!!
Gave me the added confidence of making my purchase. Zilocar allowed me to see all past services and recalls. Makes reading the information very user friendly.
Gave me the info I was looking for to…
Gave me the info I was looking for to check the real odometer reading compared to the false reading on odometer in vehicle which proves odometer fraud.
Quick and easy
It was easy and efficient to order the car facts for multiple vehicles. All of the detail was there and easy to understand.
Trustworthy
Earned my trust by verifying first that the VIN I entered was valid before going thru questionnaire for generation of report and payment.
I usually hesitate
I usually hesitate when making online purchases from companies I haven’t worked with before. After reading positive reviews about Zilocar, I decided to give them a shot—and I’m really glad I did. The process was simple, straightforward, and the results exceeded my expectations. I would absolutely use them again.
Updated review based on customer service
I was initially disappointed in my experience and I had to contact customer service. In an age where you usually get nothing but automated responses I actually got a personal response that was specific to the issue that I had. Greatly appreciated.
Two swings and misses by Zilocar
I bought a subscription while car shopping so as to have a second set of eyes on vehicle history. One of my first reports on a vehicle I was considering showed no wrecks, clean title and general good marks for the vehicle. I got the CarFax from the dealer and it showed two accidents, one with moderate to severe damage. I'm updating this review as a second car I was interested in had a severe structural accident as reported by Experian but no damage report by Zilocar. These are significant misses by Zilocar. Catching insurance claims and accident reports should be job 1 for any service.
