VIN removal: take your car's pages, auction photos and sale price off the internet

VIN removal means the web pages, not the plate

“VIN removal” can mean two very different things. Taking the VIN plate off a car, or altering the number, is a crime in the United States and almost everywhere else, and it has nothing to do with this service. What we remove are web pages: the copies of Copart and IAAI auction listings that dozens of “auction history” websites publish under your car’s VIN — the photos taken at the yard, the damage notes, the odometer reading and the price the car sold for.

The car, its title and its official records are not touched. We ask the websites that copied the listing to take their page down, follow the request up until it is done, and then ask Google to drop the old results.

Where your VIN shows up

A car that went through a US or Canadian salvage auction is usually copied by six to fifteen websites within days of the sale: BidFax, Stat.vin, Bid.cars, AutoHelperBot, PLC, Poctra and many smaller sites in English, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish, Georgian and Arabic. Google indexes most of them, and Google Images indexes the photos separately. That is why the first thing anyone sees when they search the VIN is often a gallery of auction photos and a price.

Each of those websites is a separate publisher with its own rules. Removing the page Google shows first only moves the next copy up — so the useful first step is to see all of them at once.

One check, one order

The free check above scans 110+ websites plus Google and lists every page it finds for your VIN, with links and its position in Google. You choose what should go — one site, several, or all of them — and pay once on CleanVINUSA’s checkout. The VIN and the page links go with the order, so you never type them twice.

How long it takes

On every website we promise 12–24 hours. It can take 1–2 days longer during Google updates or technical problems on the servers. Some websites ask for proof that the car is yours; if one does, we tell you exactly what it needs. Google updates its results after the pages are gone — usually within days, sometimes a few weeks for images. A page we have removed stays gone; a new listing or a repost that appears later, after another auction for example, is a new case and a new order.

Prices

Each website is its own order item, because each one has its own rules and timing. Prices start at $29.98 and are listed for every website below. You pay by card, PayPal or USDT.

Why owners remove these pages

• Privacy. The photos, the location of the yard and the price you paid are about your car, not about a stranger’s website, and they stay searchable for years.
• Copies get reused. Auction photos are lifted into fake sale ads and scam listings; fewer public copies means fewer chances for that.
• You decide what is public. Removal is a request to a website, the same as asking any site to take down a page about you.

Removal does not change what a buyer is entitled to know. If the law where you sell requires you to disclose the car’s history, that stays your responsibility, and we refuse orders that are meant to mislead a buyer. Read more in Is VIN removal legal?
