Recently bought a used 7 year old MB sedan. The dealer had limited info about the specific car and affordable option/ costs at original sale. Read favorable newspaper article about Detailed Vehicle History. Within a few minutes the window sticker came back, it was amazingly detailed, showed all the specific options/ costs and looked just like the original window sticker. Would definitely recommend this invaluable service to others.

Incredibly efficient service! One of those rare cases where you get exactly what is advertised. I went onto the DVH website and was able to obtain a window sticker for a 25 year old Porsche within a few minutes. Highly recommended!

Dealership would/could not provide the Monroney label. Other sites noted it was unavailable for my 2003 BMW M5. DVH had it at a great price. Nailed it in fact.
