SAN DIEGO--instaVIN, the newest vehicle history data services provider for the automotive industry, announces a "Free Report" offer with the launch of its real-time mobile Accident History service. The service is available on any text-enabled mobile phone with virtually all mobile carriers. To receive a free report, text the 17 digit vehicle VIN number to "INSTA" or 46782 from any mobile phone. In seconds, customers will know the answer to the most important question when buying a used car¦has this vehicle been in an accident? This limited time offer of one free Accident History Report per mobile phone is good now through June 30, 2010.

Mobile phone reports via text message now join instaVIN's online Accident History Reports available at www.instavin.com. Accident History Reports also come with instaVIN's proprietary Vehicle Valuator; providing up-to-the minute average retail, private party and trade-in values of the same vehicle make and model within a user's local zip code. Vehicle history data is available on cars manufactured since 1981. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be located on the driver's side dash visible through the windshield, as well as on all door jams and body panels. instaVIN helps both dealers and consumers negotiate with more confidence when buying or selling a used vehicle.

"The time has come for a low cost alternative to CARFAX® or AutoCheck® with access on your mobile phone for just $1.99," said Jim Irish, CEO of MobileTrac, the provider of instaVIN. "When competitive prices for a single report range from $29.99 to $34.99, many potential users simply forego this valuable tool or ask the dealer to supply it at their expense. We wanted to give everyone the opportunity to try instaVIN for FREE on their mobile phone to see how quick, easy and affordable Accident History Reports can be. Car buyers can now check accident history data while shopping on the lot without relying on a dealer to provide them with an up to date CARFAX report.

The speed of SMS text message delivery is especially helpful to dealers at auction, when vehicles pass through auction lanes in a matter of a minute or two. Dealers traditionally had to run reports the night before or call back to their office and take a salesman off the floor to look up vehicle history reports online. Armed with accident history and market values, dealers can quickly bid on vehicles when time is of the essence. instaVIN's data is refreshed in real-time, providing the most up-to-date information in the industry.

instaVIN's flagship product, Accident History Reports available online or via SMS text message are available for $1.99 to $2.99. Full Vehicle History Reports comparable to CARFAX® or AutoCheck® will be available on the website in a few weeks for only $6.99. For more information, visit www.instaVIN.com.
