Dexter was able to resolve the fact that I did NOT sign up for a subscription. Goodcar needs to be more transparent before charging people for something they did not want.

Predatory marketing practices

I wanted to lookup some information based on a license plate number.
A full report was not required, just some basic info.
Goodcar said they could do that for $2.00. Seemed like a good deal.
Then my credit card company asked if I really intended to spend $29.95 on Goodcar.
No, I had not, I had expected $2.00. I tried to decline that payment but was unsuccessful.
A few days ago, another charge for $29.95 appeared, and my card declined the payment. I did not knowingly sign up for any subscription.
At this point a asked them to cancel my credit card and issue a new one.
I do to care how good their customer service is, or whether or the reports are useful, the predatory marketing earns them 1 start.

Hi Jared,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand your concerns regarding the charges.

After reviewing your account, we confirmed that you signed up for a $1.95 7-day trial on July 11. The pre-checkout page clearly indicated that this was a 7-day trial that would automatically renew unless canceled.

A welcome email was also sent after signup, confirming the trial details, the exact date the monthly subscription fee would apply, and instructions on how to cancel. We found no cancellation request on the account, and the subscription was not canceled through the app or website, which is why additional attempts were made to charge the payment method on file.

To resolve this, I have now canceled your account, and a cancellation confirmation should have been sent to the email address on file. You were not successfully charged for August, and there will be no further charges.

Should you have any further concerns or need clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at https://goodcar.com/support.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for your review. My apologies for the confusion and inconvenience this has caused.

Our checkout page states that customers are purchasing a trial that ends in seven days. It also states that it will automatically enroll the customer in a monthly subscription if the customer does not cancel during the trial. We provide an Order Summary on the checkout page with a checkbox for the customer to acknowledge that they have read our Terms of Service and Billing Terms.

I would love to help check your account, but I could not locate one using the name you provided in this review. Please give us a call or email us at askgoodcar@ask.goodcar.com. Rest assured, I'm here to help.

I look forward to hearing from you. Have a great day ahead, and stay safe!

Hello Knox,

Thank you for leaving a review. I'm sorry you felt the cancellation process was difficult and frustrating. This is not the kind of experience we wanted for you.

You can cancel the subscription by logging in to your account and selecting "Account Cancellation" or "Cancel Subscription" in the Contact Us form, or by contacting support via chat, email, or phone.

Our records show that your account has been canceled, and you will not see any future charges. Your access expired yesterday, August 21, 2026.

Rest assured, we are continually working to make our cancellation process clearer and more straightforward. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. If you need further assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Have a nice day ahead, and stay safe!

Do NOT use this business

Do NOT use this business, once you request a report they charge you a monthly fee of $3.00. I purchased a report for $1 something checked my account and they took $2.808 from my account…. They are very misleading and I called customer support and got a bot telling me my phone number is invalid. Terrible and dishonest business…..

Hello Vinicius,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We take concerns regarding billing and subscriptions very seriously.

We offer free reports through a 7-day trial, as clearly stated on our checkout page. The checkout explains that the trial will automatically convert to a $29.95 monthly subscription unless canceled. Customers must also check a box confirming that they have read and agreed to our Terms and Billing Policy before completing the order.

I carefully reviewed your account and found that a chargeback has been initiated. We recommend reaching out to your financial institution to confirm the expected processing time for the chargeback.

As a result, please note that you have been removed from our email lists, your login credentials have been deactivated, and all active subscriptions have been canceled. You will not receive any future charges from us.

We’re sorry to hear that your experience led to this concern. We appreciate the opportunity to review the matter and take appropriate action.
