instaVIN Offers FREE Auto Accident History Reports on Any Mobile Phone

By Anamika Singh, TMCnet Contributor


instaVIN, a vehicle history data services provider for the automotive industry, announces a 'Free Report' offer with its real-time mobile Accident History service.


The service is available on any text-enabled mobile phone with all mobile carriers. To receive a free report, it is just required to text the 17 digit vehicle VIN number to "INSTA" or 46782 from any mobile phone. The service will provide answer to questions when buying a used car or if this vehicle been in an accident.

Mobile phone reports via text message now join instaVIN's online Accident History Reports available at www.instavin.com. Accident History Reports also contains instaVIN's proprietary Vehicle Valuator; with up-to-the minute average retail, private party and trade-in values of the vehicle model within a user's local zip code.

Vehicle history data is available on cars manufactured since 1981. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be seen on the driver's side dash visible through the windshield, as well as on all door jams and body panels.

"The time has come for a low cost alternative to CARFAX or AutoCheck with access on your mobile phone for just $1.99," stated Jim Irish, CEO of MobileTrac, the provider of instaVIN.

"When competitive prices for a single report range from $29.99 to $34.99, many potential users simply forego this valuable tool or ask the dealer to supply it at their expense. We wanted to give everyone the opportunity to try instaVIN for FREE on their mobile phone to see how quick, easy and affordable Accident History Reports can be. Car buyers can now check accident history data while shopping on the lot without relying on a dealer to provide them with an up to date CARFAX report," Irish added.

This SMS text message delivery is also helpful to dealers at auction. Dealers had to run reports the night before or call back to their office and take a salesman off the floor to look up vehicle history reports online. With accident history and market values, dealers can quickly bid on vehicles. instaVIN's data is refreshed in real-time.
