“You see, you’re not buying a report for $1. You’re buying a “trial membership” to their premium service. Indeed, their site graphic says you’re getting “unlimited access to detailed reports for just $1*” but that’s not really the truth. You’re getting a 3-day trial that gives you up to five reports, and then they slug you for $50 USD. They’ll do so every month if you don’t catch the subscription charge the first time, too.”
“They have an excellent trial option! It was an incredible experience thanks to the thorough reports that included pictures and all the information. I adore the freedom to test without making a full commitment. Worth it, and I strongly recommend it!”
“The trial went flawlessly! The reports had all the information I required, including photographs. It's great that you can test it out without committing to a subscription. Definitely suggested!”
“Their trial was excellent! The comprehensive reports were excellent, full of helpful facts and photographs. It's essential to have the option to try without committing to a full month. Strongly suggested!”
“The trial service was fantastic! The reports had all the information I required, lots of pictures, and were extremely detailed. It was incredible to be able to try it first. Well worth the investment. strongly suggested!”
“This service gave me all the details I needed to check a car's past—owners, accidents, and beyond. I canceled the subscription once I had everything.”
“I was trying to get a free VIN report, but then found it was a dollar. (Scam #1)
The next day I was charged $99.99 automatically because they said I checked a box that said I was trying a trial period.(scam #2) I contacted the manager via email and they refused to refund my money. They have no phone number to call.... How convenient.
Maybe just charge $5 for a report and skip the scamming!!”
“I used this service to investigate a car's past—it showed me the ownership history, accident details, and more. I canceled after getting what I needed.”
“I checked a car's past using this service—it revealed everything, including owner history and accidents. I unsubscribed once I had all the information.”
“I needed detailed information about a car's history, and this service gave it all—owners, accidents, and more. Afterward, I canceled my subscription.”
“I had an extremely disappointing experience with EpicVIN, which I believe operates in a predatory manner. I visited their website to obtain a vehicle history report and was under the impression that I was making a one-time payment for the document. However, to my shock, I later discovered that they had charged me $99.99 without clear or explicit disclosure of this recurring fee during the checkout process.
The website’s pricing structure is deceptive and lacks transparency, leaving customers vulnerable to unexpected charges. Attempts to contact their customer service for a resolution were frustrating and unhelpful. I feel misled and taken advantage of by this business, and I would caution others to avoid using their services unless they improve their practices.
EpicVIN should prioritize clear communication, transparency, and ethical practices. Until then, I cannot recommend this company to anyone.
Rating: 1/5”
“Their trial service was incredible! The detailed reports, complete with photos and all the information I needed, really stood out. The option to test without committing to a full month is fantastic. Highly recommended!”
“Every single car I checked during the $1 trial had inaccuracies - in particular missing accidents and inaccurate mileage reports. I ran vehicles I knew because how else am I to test it? They let you run a very limited number during the trial and then conveniently charge you a non-refundable $99.99 as part of their broken business model. This company will not survive -- they are only after your hundred bucks, not repeat business. Do not use if you need an accurate report.”
“I used EpicVIN to purchase a single vehicle history report for $1, thinking it was a one-time payment. However, I was later charged $99.99 for a subscription I never knowingly signed up for. The terms for the automatic renewal were hidden in small print and not made clear during the purchase process.
When I contacted customer support, I offered to pay the $15 for the single report, and asked for a refund of the remaining $85, which I felt was a fair solution. This wouldn’t have financially harmed EpicVIN, yet they still refused my request. Instead of being understanding and accommodating, they stuck to their rigid policy, even though I was only asking to pay for what I actually used.
This feels like a deceptive practice designed to trap customers into recurring payments without proper consent. I strongly advise others to avoid using this service. They lack transparency, and their policies are unfair to customers.
As someone from a developing country, where $100 represents 50% of my monthly income, this amount means so much more to me than it would to others. To be treated this way, especially when I was simply trying to pay for one report, feels like a betrayal.”
“This service helped me verify a car's history by providing ownership details, accident records, and more. I got everything I needed and unsubscribed afterward.”
