Missing 7 years of service, repairs, and milage

Just looked up my car because I wanted to get my repair and service history. When I looked it up there was no services or repairs reported since I bought it and there also isn't any record of how many miles I driven since the report says there's 119k miles on the car, but it currently has 215k. I know not all car repair shops report to these agencies, but I almost exclusively got my repairs and services done at Mavis, who reports to these agencies. I'm very disappointed with my experience

Not sure if I would find a used SUV…

Not sure if I would find a used SUV right away, or if it would take weeks maybe longer..I was ready to buy but not desperate. The good reviews of Good Car and the 7 day trial was a no- brainer. Turns out the information I received from Good Car allowed me to make a decision in the first 4 days. NOW...where Good Car earned my appreciation, and future recommendations. I didn't get to cancel the 7 day trial before the 7 day trial expired. $29.00 got taken from my bank account as the plan was supposed to. I called Customer Service explained a cell phone issue on my end and Good Car promptly gave me a refund
No hassle, just friendly helpful Customer service. Thank you Good Car. Good information and great service. UPDATE: I just received a response from Good Car. The response was appreciative and focused on what I said, and showed me that Good Car actively pays attention to reviews..... not merely sending pre-written automatic and rather meaningless canned responses. Good for you Good Car.

Hi Alexander,

We regret to hear about the unauthorized charges and subscription concerns. At the time of enrollment, you have agreed to our billing policy, which indicated after the seven-day trial is completed, additional billing would follow on a monthly basis. A confirmation email was sent detailing the same. This information can also be found in our Terms of Service, https://goodcar.com/terms.

I would love to check on this further and see how I can help. However, I cannot locate an account using the name you provided in this review. Please give us a call or send an email to askgoodcar@ask.goodcar.com. Rest assured, we're here to help.

We look forward to hearing from you,

This is a bait-and-switch

This is a bait-and-switch. It clearly says FREE VEHICLE REPORT and FREE VIN NUMBER CHECK, but you enter the VIN number and you have to pay to see anything. I don't even care how good their service may be, once they do a bait-and-switch like that they are a scam company as far as I'm concerned.
