AutoCheck and CARFAX Reports DO NOT HAVE ALL THE FACTS! Auto insurers DO NOT report all damaged vehicles to AutoCheck or CARFAX-those reports pertain mostly to Total Loss and Flood Vehicles, NOT damaged-repaired vehicles!

Why you need this book?
Signs of a wreck is designed to be simple and informative so that both used-car dealers and consumers
will have a better understanding about what to look for when purchasing a used vehicle and how to
recognize the Signs of a Wreck. It will help you perform an end-to-end assessment of the used vehicle you
want to purchase, from the front bumper to the trunk and all points in-between, to uncover prior damage
from a wreck or hidden dangers that aren't apparent at first glance. The book equips you with the
knowledge you need, via explanations and photos, so that you can look under the hood and "kick the tires."
If you had auto-body repairs made to your vehicle, you can use this book to see if the repairs were
performed properly.
Remember now, Vehicle History Reporting Agencies only report what is reported to
them. Auto Insurers DO NOT report damage repaired vehicles, so we recommend for
you to have a professional inspect the vehicle in question.
