Cartell was launched to help consumers and dealers make an informed, secure choice when buying a used vehicle. We have access to more car data than anyone else, and our thorough investigations have helped thousands of people avoid cars that have been clocked, written off, ex-taxi, or carrying unpaid finance.
Why use Cartell?A crucial role in the second-hand car market
The car history check is Cartell’s core business, with no distractions and no conflicts of interest. It’s a tool that helps Irish consumers and dealers buy safer vehicles, secure in the knowledge they’ve been independently checked. We work closely with Government services and other sectors to establish, verify and record the history on a vehicle.
