Before the purchase

What is VIN?

VIN is an abbreviation for Vehicle Identification Number – a unique set of 17 characters that car manufacturers assign individually to every single vehicle. You can find VIN on various parts of the vehicle or in the registration documents.

Usually just a few minutes. The service is available 24/7 and reports are being generated automatically.

We will provide you with information necessary to determine the actual condition of the vehicle: mileage, damage records, countries of previous registrations, records from databases of stolen vehicles and so much more. The exact list of information is subject to availability.

Credit cards, PayPal or even cV tokens from your crypto wallet – all are accepted.

CRITS is the pioneer of connected reports™. We integrate multiple advanced information sets with data coming straight from connected cars. It means more accuracy and more up-to-date information for you. Moreover, CRITS is a blockchain company, which makes it impossible to manipulate the data.

Unfortunately not. We give you hints to identify issues, but the report is not a legally binding document. Our advice: order CRITS connected report™ before actually signing the car purchase agreement. Save time and money.

We employ various sources, including state registries, insurance companies, auto repair shops, connected vehicle fleets and many more.

While Ordering

Now that you convinced me to purchase the report, what should I start from?

Start from entering VIN and pressing “Check car now” button. We will ask you to create your personal CRITS account, as this is the place where your report will be stored. Once done, you will get a list of package – please select the one that suits your needs best. Afterwards you will be able to proceed to the payment step. Not a rocket science, really.

Please double check the VIN. A common issue is mixing up “5” with “S” or “4” with “A”. VIN should consist of 17 characters – make sure you have not missed any of them. Do not worry about caps lock and lower case, as there is no difference, actually.

We can provide you with customized package proposal. Please feel free to send your enquiry to Contact us.

After the purchase

I did not receive the report. Can you help me?

Sure. But before that, please double check your email inbox and your personal CRITS account. If the report is really missing, go ahead and verify your bank account statement. Has the appropriate amount been charged?

If not, you should try making the payment once again. If yes, please get in touch with us by sending an email to Contact us.

It actually means that we did not find any damage records associated with the VIN you provided. Our extensive database includes more that 70 million damage records from multiple European countries, but your car is not listed there. The fact increases the possibility that this vehicle is truly accident-free.

Please get in touch with us by sending an email to Contact us. Do not forget to mention important details: VIN, reasons for refund and the email address associated with your CRITS account. We will get back to you within 2 working days.

No worries. You will be able to access your reports by logging into your personal CRITS account. Use the initial (wrong) email to log in.

Nevertheless, we recommend you creating a new account for future purchases. Just to make sure you get reports both by email and on your personal CRITS account.

The report will be available for 60 days after the purchase. If you think you might need it later, feel free to print it or save it as a file.

Credits are valid for 1 year after the purchase. Simply log into your personal CRITS account and redeem your remaining reports.

Please get in touch with us by sending an email to Contact us. Do not forget to mention company name, address, registration number, VAT payer’s code (if applicable) and the VIN checked.
