Buyback Protection Questions

How does Buyback Protection work?

AutoCheck Buyback Protection will, if a certain title brand is found and when the terms and conditions have been met, refund your entire purchase price of the vehicle. The refund amount can be up to 10% over the NADAguides published retail value of the vehicle. Go to www.NADAguides.com to get the retail value. The report must be issued prior to the purchase date of the vehicle and the brand must have been issued more than 60 days before the first date the report was run by you.

    Is it eligible on every vehicle?
    AutoCheck Buyback Protection is available upon the purchase of AutoCheck vehicle history reports if a certain title brand is found after the vehicle is reported to be free of the brand. Reports for vehicles that have a brand or other events that cause the report to get a "Warning" tag are not eligible for Buyback Protection.
