FAQ
Questions, answered.
Straight answers about what a DDD Report is — and what it isn't.
- Who inspects the car?
- An independent shop chosen and paid for by the seller. DDD never inspects the car.
- Why does the video have to be unedited?
- Because edits can hide things. One continuous, unedited inspection video, with narration or on-screen text so you know what you're seeing.
- Does DDD rate or grade the car?
- No. DDD does not score cars or tell buyers what to pay.
- Is a DDD Report a warranty or guarantee?
- No. It is an evidence report.
- What if something cannot be confirmed?
- It is labeled Not verified. That means unconfirmed — not false.
- Can private sellers get a DDD Report?
- Yes. The same report and the same price apply to private sellers and dealers.
- What cars qualify?
- Cars We Work With: Vehicles valued at $60,000 and up (with no upper limit), of any age from brand new to vintage classics, gas, electric and hybrid powertrains, sold by dealerships or private sellers.
- How do I know a DDD Report badge is real?
- Every legitimate badge links to the corresponding report. Buyers can look up the VIN.
- Do you do reports on electric and hybrid cars?
- Yes. Every DDD Report on an electric or hybrid car adds a full Battery & Electric section, including battery health, warranty, software history and a live charging check on video, at no extra cost. See how to prepare an electric or hybrid car.

- What's the most important thing to check on a used electric car?
- Battery health. The battery is the most expensive part of an electric car. A DDD Report includes a recent battery health report from the seller's dealer or shop, so you know exactly what you're buying.
