    Hey everyone,

    I’m in the market for a used car and keep hearing about the importance of checking the vehicle history report (Carfax, AutoCheck, etc.).

    I understand it shows accidents, title issues, and service records, but how reliable are these reports?

    Can I trust them completely, or are there gaps I should be aware of?

    Also, has anyone here ever had a bad experience from skipping this step or found something surprising through a report?

    I’d love to hear your thoughts or any tips before I make my purchase.
