Recently bought a used 7 year old MB sedan. The dealer had limited info about the specific car and applicable options/costs at original sale. Read favorable newspaper article about Detailed Vehicle History. Within a few minutes the window report 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.

"I was blown away by the accuracy and comprehensiveness of this VIN Decoder & Vehicle History tool! As a car enthusiast/industry professional, I've tried several similar services, but this one stands out for its ease of use, detailed reports, and reliable data.

The VIN decoder quickly and accurately pulled up my vehicle's specs, ownership history, and even alerted me to potential safety recalls. The vehicle history report was equally impressive, providing a clear and transparent record of my car's past.

What really impressed me, though, was the customer support. The team was responsive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to address my questions and concerns.

Overall, I highly recommend this VIN Decoder & Vehicle History tool to anyone looking for a trustworthy and user-friendly solution. It's an invaluable resource for anyone buying, selling, or simply maintaining a vehicle."

I'm retired and been a "car guy" my whole life. Always enjoying looking a cars on various sites, BAT, Car.com, Auto Trader, Facebook Market Place. I was so very pleased at this service. One key question is "do you have the window sticker" - or can you find the option codes and send me a photo. I'd say less than 5% of people have access to the window sticker (even on BAT where you are dealing with collector cars).

Being able to see the original build sheet, which includes all important details, color inside and out, options, and surprisingly the retail value at delivery! Options make a huge difference. As an example a Porsche Cayenne S standard at deliver in 2013 was around $56,000 - a well optioned 2013 approaches $100,000. Often the second owner in particular has no idea the the vehicle they are selling has $44,000 of options!

This is a great site. I would run any car I'm getting close to considering an offer and see the window sticker! It's truly amazing! Thank-you. I've owned 7 collector Porsches over the past 30 years! Wish I had access to the "window sticker.

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.

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!

I was looking online to get a copy of my car's window sticker. I came to this website and entered my car's vin number, and instantaneously I received my vehicles history and window sticker. The process was really smooth and efficient and it got me exactly what I was looking for. Once, I received the reports, I wad then contacted by their team, personally via a phone call to make sure I was happy with their service and received what I wanted. This kind of after-sales service is make differentiates a great company from the rest!
