Tony,
    Carfax clearly gives you more information than
auto check.   At the time I signed up for carfax they
had a 2 month unlimited useage for 20 bucks.  This is
available only once a year per billing address.
After the two months it is 15 dollars per report.
   Autocheck has a two month service but it is limited
to twenty reports.   Autocheck reports have not been
as detailed as carfax.   Usually they do not track the
vehicle back as many years.   If you are in the market
for a used car start with carfax.   If the two month
runs out as it did for me move to autocheck but once
you find one you are going to buy I would  double
check it with carfax as they will have additional
information.   Oddly enough  carfax and autocheck were
not able to identify that a vanagon in service in
California for the last six years had Texas plates so
always ask the seller the state that the vehicle is
registered and titled?   hope this helps, gary
