What's the go-to car history checking service?

[Turbojuice]

I've seen a lot of stories of cars being sold by dealers with hidden histories (i.e. unrecorded damage), and that the usual hpi check does not reveal this but other services can and do.

Carvertical is the one that comes up often due to the endless adverts, Vcheck is the first one I ever heard of, and Totalcarcheck is recommended by Auto Express. There's also newer ones like Vehiclesmart and Carveto. In short it seems like a very saturated market and difficult to understand who is best and why. So what's everyone using please?

Vcheck is all you need. Saved me from buying a car that had been through 2 salvage auctions following 2 seperate accidents.

Only safe way is a proper HPI check followed by a V-Check.
