Awesome Awesome Site

I used it to find my next car I was going to buy. For a 40th the price of CARFAX I was able to use the free trial and see it’s history. They even made cancelling very easy so though I gave them $1 in total for the free trial they were very kind in cancellation and helped me find my car that I am so happy about. Thank you.

No longer compatible with iPhone

I have to let you know I’ve used this app for a long time and loved it. I work in the auto hail repair industry and all my reps use it. Until now. In the last month there seems to be a glitch and I can no longer scan a VIN or manually enter a license plate number without getting an error. We used to use it to find the value of a vehicle but now it is useless. I have sent several messages to tech support and their response is to use chrome operating system. If you are not compatible with iPhone, you shouldn’t have an app in the Apple App Store. Steer clear of this one till they fix the bug. My next message will be to Apple.

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.

Malware at its finest

Website baits you offering “free vin check”. Said vin check takes about 5 minutes to load and then after waiting you are prompted to choose a subscription option. After waiting 5 minutes I figured I might as well just pay, after paying Bumper says they don’t have any information on the vehicle. Total bait and switch, saying I need to pay to get the info but then they don’t have any. They make it extremely hard to cancel. Can’t warn you enough to NOT buy this app.

Useless for recreational vehicles

I wanted to pull a vin on a recreational vehicle. I wasn’t sure if Bumber offered a report so I put a vin in and the app made it seem like it did pull information to share on the VIN but I had to pay for it. So I did… then came to the final page and said, sorry no information could be found. Irritated that ai spent $20 for nothing. Just tell the person that before they spend 5 minutes and money that they will never get back.

“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.”

Inaccurate Results 👎🏻

Don’t waste your time or money; Bumper isn’t showing accurate results. I’ve used this app for an hour running several VINs. Bumper missed salvaged cars and accidents. It doesn’t provide maintenance history, owner history, or fleet/rental/corporate/government history. There is a difference between a cheap price and a good value. Bumper offers cheap priced reports. It’s clearly not a good value though because of the blatant inaccuracies between Bumper and it’s competitors.

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.

Recommend you skip this but OK for 1st look

Not a great search compared to car fax but an OK option if you’re looking at 10+ cars and want to initially check before diving deeper with a better search history service such as car fax. Warning though, this apps monthly fee can be tricky to cancel so just call the help line and follow up with an email.

Waste of money.. they don’t have updated data

This app is bad.. they charged $14 per month and no option to cancel so I had to ask the bank to cancel future auto payment.. few vins I used it for gave old data and when I went to carmax they showed me as Salvage title when this app showed as Clean.. not worth it.. I payed for a year knot knowing coz they just kept charging even when I dint opt for auto payment.

Scam App

Seriously wish there was an option for negative “stars”. Never have I had heard of this application. Nor have I been in the market for a vehicle the past 10years. Even if I had been, I would have chosen to use an actual reliable source to search. Some how though I have been signed up for these services and continually charged for something I have never used.

Inaccurate Information

I have been using this application for almost two months. A vast majority of the VIN’s I run come back with inaccurate information. I run the VIN with Bumper and they are decoded listing the wrong engines, makes, models, etc. I then run the VIN with NHTSA free VIN decoder and the information is accurate. If Bumper cannot get something so simple as a VIN decoded then you cannot trust the rest of the information they provide.

0 stars would be merciful for what this company deserves

Con artists. They'll keep charging you monthly even when you only sign up for one record. They'll make it impossible to cancel subscription from the website or the app, you'll have to contact them to cancel the subscription. It's almost as if they're trying to rip people off their money.

2 months ago, Wish I never paid for it

Don’t buy!!

This app/ company is horrible!! Very much a bait and hook. They provided absolutely no information on the vehicle I was looking up, I ended up going back to carfax to get said information. Then when you try to cancel the membership (that is not free!!!), it is nearly impossible!!! I found it easier to report to my CC as fraud then it was to get them to cancel the account. Buyer beware.

Zero customer support

I did a trial membership. Numerous attempts to contact customer support to discontinue my association with this company, there is not a human being only a chat bot. Further to chat, but does not respond or understand the text. Seems you’re in this for life. Request for a refund or rebate where it’s always denied. This does not provide values for RVs. Therefore it is of no benefit. Stay away

Malicious subscriptions

Process is deliberately convoluted and can only be preformed through a phone call unless you subscribed through iOS, and they accounted for this by making subscriptions through iOS more expensive. Should be a button on website or app that allows you to unsubscribe like every other modern company’s webpage.

Dummy accident database claim .. SCAMMERS

Fake advertising, this service has no access to accident database, I tried intentionally many cars that has been in accidents in many parts of the east coast ( which they claim they mostly cover that ) and none of the accidents showed up on Bumper reports, while it was reported on Carfax and Truevin and bunch of other services, I contacted them to request a refund, they never got back to me… SCAMMERS !!!

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

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.

Multiple cancellations

Had to cancel through phone when I was randomly billed Dec of 2023 and Jan of 2024 even when cancelled. Mind you I used the app once signed up $1 free trial of nov 2022 to be billed $20 by the a.i that pulled up nothing for a vehicle check, so I cancelled then. And somehow reactivated my account through another free trial?

Seems intentionally difficult to cancel

I like most people probably only needed to use this once. Was hard to find how to cancel my trial/subscription and rather than just push a button you have to call or email. Pretty obnoxious.

Not worth the price

Paid for the 3 month subscription and out it the 20 or so vehicles I searched there was very little detail. Was unable to use this app to make a decision at all. Had to rely on dealer providing a report from carfax or auto check. Cancelled subscription.

don’t waste your money here

I try to look for 2 different vin number from 2 dakotas same year and is showing me the sameeee information, don’t waste your money here

Scammy Tactics

Only way to cancel the subscription is to call or email them. No email given when membership is about to renew and overall seemed like they were just trying to be a “hidden subscription” that goes unnoticed as they bleed your wallet.

App sucked. Did not help with what I was looking for and believe they took some of my information because I never put in my government name but when I canceled the subscription, they put my government name and said my subscription has been canceled

5 months ago, marcuswb00

never accurate

most times i check a vin number i never get accurate information on the car. even for listings that say that they’re salvaged or had accidents bumper will tell me that everything is clean and its not just once in a while it seems like its for every car that ive checked. especially when paying so monthly it seems like im paying for absolutely nothing since it doesnt work. and the app also constantly crashes

Bumper is no bueno!

I paid the $20, asked it for VIN info and it gave me the specs. No history on the car. Nothing but the basics. Save your money. I got more from a Google search than this paid app delivers. I canceled my subscription 5 minutes in. Huge waste of money.

Waste

Considering you have to call and wait hours for their customer service line just to cancel something you had no idea was a monthly reoccurring bill is quite ridiculous. But alright I guess.

Impossible to cancel and doesn’t work

Inaccurate information

This is mostly helpful if your buying a car, but I’ve put 10 bins in and the information is incorrect. Pictures don’t show, listing records are wrong.

Trash company

Don’t use it. They just want your money. They don’t tell u nothing! Your better off looking up your car on “car care” by carfax. Waste of time and they make it impossible to unsubscribe. Beware of this scam.

Dishonest

Report was not easy to interpret it. Along with a surprisedly automatically subscription renovation after the “7 days” trial despite that I might or might not understand their agreement. Not a pleasant experience, not recommended.

Canceling

If you purchase a subscription they don’t tell you how to cancel, go to their page press customer support (It doesn’t force you to talk to someone) then press cancel account

Awful

Vin through this service came back clean. It was stolen weeks ago. I'm out 2 grand and they could care less. They don't want you to know but this service is worthless.

Avoid

I was trying to see if this app gives an accurate data but it turns out it is not. I put a salvage car vin on the app and the app doesn’t mention it is a salvage.

Inaccurate information

Do not trust this site the information on here is misleading. Said the car had 40k miles in august 2021 but the car had way over 100k in august 2021.
