Total Car Check 4+

My other half and I have just sold our vehicle and purchased another vehicle. The level of freely available information regarding vehicles available for sale in the public domain is phenomenal. This app, “The Total Car Check” does an amazing job of bringing them all together in one place. Moreover, once you’ve decided you have quite an interest in a particular car or brand, for a very reasonable fee, you can buy a few comprehensive car checks that allows you to dig deeper into the history and maintenance of a car. Even the free car checks have proved very valuable to us, as they alerted us to cars with very bad service histories, leaky oil engines and tampered odometer readings! It is worth registering for a free account, which only takes a few moments & gives one access to more information such as how much the car has sold for in the past, where that information is available. I CAN’T RECOMMEND THE APP ENOUGH IF YOU ARE IN THE MARKET FOR A USED VEHICLE - It gives you lots of information, but you still need to make sure you do your own checks & research & are vigilant in what you look out for in a car you’re interested in!

I love the TotalCarCheck app. I only discovered the app by accident, after I had unknowingly bought a car with lots of “bad hidden history”. However, through the use of in-app purchases, I was able to buy 3*FULL CAR HISTORY CHECKS at a specially reduced price ( K/A GOLD “CAR” CHECKS) and use the FULL CAR HISTORY CHECK as part of my evidence to get a FULL REFUND of the monies I had paid for the “unreliable car” I had purchased. I was then able to ALSO use a GOLD “CAR” CHECK to check out the History of the next vehicle I subsequently bought. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! The cost of the FULL HISTORY CAR CHECKS is NOTHING compared to the emotional heartache and also financial headache that could be caused by buying a car WITH a “Bad Hidden History”! Thanks for reading.

When you’re able to input a plate, the app provides a lot of detailed information which is very good - no complaints here.

However, the app has not been optimised for iPhone XS Max and when trying to tap on the plate input field you have to tap a certain tiny spot in order to bring up the keyboard - it’s extremely frustrating and doesn’t even work at times which makes the app almost unusable until this is fixed.

I had the same issue registering for an account within the app - the information fields you have to fill with your details suffer from this same tiny spot issue making it very hard to sign up without using the directional arrows to change field.

Once the app is optimised I would bump this review up to five stars as the app provides lots of great information, it’s just getting to that information is near impossible in its current state on my device.
