Good product but the price (including any YouTube discounts) are way too high. I'm sure they've nearly doubled recently! I've had similar results from other sites for a lot less money.

I had to buy 3 checks before I found a car without previous accident history. I think the checks are great, but find the cost to be quite expensive. It would also be good to offer a discount on extr... See more

Never used Car Vertical before, but due to change the car, so I thought it was wise to do so. Found out the complete history of the car with one or two interesting outcomes. Would recommend this site... See more

Overall, a mixed experience, but fair resolution in the end.

Very disappointing experience. I purchased a vehicle report expecting useful and accurate information, but the report contained little to no relevant data. It felt like a complete waste of money.

I contacted customer support twice requesting a refund, but received no response at all. Meanwhile, other similar services handled the same situation quickly and professionally.

Lack of transparency, poor data quality, and non-existent customer support. I would not recommend this service to anyone.

*****
I would like to update my previous review.

After contacting support, my issue with CarVertical was resolved and I received a refund. While my initial experience with the report quality was disappointing, I appreciate that the customer service team responded and handled the situation professionally.

There is still room for improvement in the accuracy and depth of the reports, but I acknowledge the effort made to correct the problem.

Overall, a mixed experience, but fair resolution in the end.

Vcheck are £26.00 cheaper for the same report

£35.99 for the same report you can get from V Check for £9.99. Absolute ripoff. I think you must be paying for all thr Youtubers they sponsor.

Don't listen to you tubers this check is bad value

From what I have seen with you tubers I was very disappointed to be honest. There was no pictures of damage didn't even say where damage was. Plus no valuation either. I found a different check for £14.99 which showed way more. The car vertical is £34.99 I did use code ccd and I won't be doing it ever again it's a rip off

I’m really sorry the report didn't give you the full picture you were looking for. It’s frustrating when you're digging for details and hit a wall. Our reports gather data from over 900 sources, but sometimes limitations in available data can lead to incomplete details, particularly if certain records aren’t updated or accessible in external databases. If you would like to discuss your specific case in detail, please contact our customer support at support@carvertical.com.

Glad you liked the experience, but point taken on the price! We hate that 'drawn in' feeling too, so we'll definitely look into it. Thanks for being real with us.
