Hi Mario,

I appreciate your review and I'm sorry for the confusion. At the time of enrollment, you have agreed to our billing policy, which indicated after the seven-day trial is completed, additional billing would follow on a monthly basis. A confirmation email was sent detailing the same. This information can also be found in our Terms of Service, https://goodcar.com/terms.

I would love to check on the account for you and see what I can do; however, I cannot locate an account using the name you provided in this review. Please give us a call or send an email to askgoodcar@ask.goodcar.com. Rest assured, we're here to help.

We look forward to hearing from you,

It was a mistake that I made that began this whole scenario.
I asked you have my charges reversed as I didn't want nor have never used the program.
It was one of those trying for 30 days for a $1.95 Auto renewal.
Bring something didn't add up and determined it was good car charge.
The charge was legitimate and legal according to the contract that I agreed to.
I forgot all about it explain my situation they took care of me immediately and professionally.
No I'm not using the app I can professionally endorse the company and their professionalism.
You guys rock.

Poor reports, bad subscription model

Couldn't get updated reports for cars I was looking to buy. Auto-subscription renewed after initial trial and they refused to refund me.

Poor business model, not a great product. Will use CarFax next time
