    Hi, Bumper is an easy-to-access collection of vehicle records. These records are collected through official government records, insurance records and industry sources such as manufactures and service shops. As you just experienced, sometimes the information they collect is not always 100% correct. Sometimes records are incomplete as a result of being filtered through different systems or because of typographic errors when moving the records from paper to computerized format. Dealing with millions of records is not the easiest process and while we put every effort into making our data as accurate as possible, we are dependent upon the sources providing us correct information. If you haven't already, we encourage you to check out the Monitoring feature. Once Monitoring is activated, you will be notified as soon as we receive any new information in that report. If you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to let us know.
  • Question: What value does a history service offer if the latest record it finds is 8 years old?

    Answer: ZIP.

    I ran the vin on my OWN car.
    Bumper did not find either of the two accidents I’ve had in it.
    And the last recorded info it had in my “report” was from 2016 in NY. Even though I still own the car, drive it, and it’s properly registered in MA where I live now.
    It says its mileage is 160K.
    Its 204K as of two days ago when I had it serviced and it’s vin number recorded.

    A scam through and through. Save your money.

  • Service is Horrible

    Very hard to cancel subscription. Ended up calling and having to cancel thru an automated message. Took 20 minutes to cancel because all the automated messages kept asking irrelevant questions. App is horrible, services offered is horrible. Plus I believe they sell your information. After 2 minutes of canceling, I was called by a telemarketer in my region with no one on the other line.

  • App is Compromised - Scam

    The app failed to provide up to date information. Shortly after getting it and only after getting it, unauthorized purchases were made out of State. I needed information about my own car and the records were 3 years out of date.

  • Shady!

    Unable to cancel forced subscription via iOS app or on web gui. You must call customer support or chat in whereby you are on hold forever. When trying to chat it just keeps changing me to next in queue forever or in “reconnecting “ status. I will probably have to engage Apple Pay now for fraud .. SCAM

  • “Warning” read this before downloading.

    “I advise you to be cautious when purchasing the subscription, if you don’t want to go through a bad and lengthy experience trying to cancel it.

    If you want to cancel, you’re obligated to call on the phone; you can’t cancel the subscription online, let alone through the application. Seriously, who does that in this day and age? Nowadays, everything can be canceled with just a few clicks.”

  • Trickery

    I want everyone to know that if you type in “where in your state ex.(ca) you vehicle is impounded” first thing that pops up is bumper. After you pay whatever you pay for the app. It only tells you date and state. No other info. Is givin. I think this is total trickery since I typed in ca. to start with. All info given in report can be found on other sites for free. Giant waste of time and money. So tired of getting tricked by the one who is willing to pay more to be at the top of the search list. My opinion, never download any top 3 apps given on a search.
