Frequently asked questions

A records report can only tell you what was reported to it — mostly insurance claims. If damage was never reported (cash repairs, private bodywork, an accident the seller paid for out of pocket, flood or fire that never reached an insurer), it simply won't appear. A clean records report is not a clean car. An ASE-certified Carify Inspector examines the actual car and runs a standardized 369-point inspection — body, frame, fluids, electronics and all — with photo evidence behind every finding. You get a clear graded report, and every inspection is saved to the Carify Report database so it can be looked up by VIN later. That's how you find the problems a paper report can never see.

Two things. First, every inspection follows one standardized, graded report covering a very comprehensive set of inspection points, so you get the same rigorous, comparable result every time instead of a different mechanic's opinion. Second, every plan includes a 30-day accuracy guarantee — if a car we grade A is later confirmed to have had a hidden accident, flood, or fire, we refund your inspection fee.

Every Carify Inspector is an ASE-certified professional who has held certification for at least two years, and carries professional diagnostic equipment on every job — an OBD-II scanner for powertrain, ABS and airbag codes plus live data, and a calibrated paint thickness gauge for panel-by-panel readings. Combined with the standardized 369-point checklist, photo evidence and Carify's AI + human review, you get the same rigorous, comparable result every time.
