And here we have another one. They tend to come in waves of 2 or 3. IP's tend to track back to Texas.
@Steve Flores give us a heads up - are you real? Who at EpicVin paid you to join DealerRefresh and post this
potentially bogus review? I'll be deleting this thread if no response. A google search shows they struggle with reputation issues and are using DealerRefresh and other review forums to try and cover or make up for it.
EpicVin.com says it's a VIN decoder and vehicle history report service but if you Google it, there's a lot of people complaining about being charged more than advertised and being sucked into a subscription or membership without proper notice.
Like this dude did.
Or this one.
I'd stick to
CarFax or
AutoCheck for any
vehicle history reports. I'm not sure which is better anymore. There was a time when CarFax was the only real option, then came along AutoCheck - but overall, here in the States it's been hard to compete with the FOX.
However, I believe there was a time when AutoCheck was better for vehicles purchased and serviced in Canada.
It's all about the connections with dealers and auto insurance companies being the main data providers. I'm guessing they BOTH have built some strategic foundational relationships over the years for exclusive data that's LOCKED UP and near impossible for anyone else to obtain or match.
Side note: I find myself using CarFax.com when vehicle shopping more than the others. I think its the clean VDPs, easy search by 1 Owner vehicles and less pop-ups. 2025 and we are still being bombarded with pop-ups taking over pages, especially on mobile.
