I'm curious to see what rate I would get on a car loan but wanted to make sure it doesn't affect my credit score. I heard auto loan and mortgage credit checks don't show up on your report (thus bringing down your score). Is this true?

Yes it does. But here's the trick... Auto inquiries and mortgage loan inquiries done within a two week time period will count as one inquiry.
So if you apply with "5" auto lenders you'll get hit for "1" inquiry which will affect your score a bit, possibly.
The reason is the credit bureau knows that people shop around for rates just like you. When I worked in auto finance I'd run people through several banks for an approval/better rate.
You can also order your own report with scores (tri merge) and use that to shop.... when you go to a car dealer just tell them what your score is and they can give you an idea. If it's a new car with a special incentive program (0%, 2.9, 5.9, etc) you usually just have to fit within the first couple "tiers" of credit (the guy with 50 points lower and 50 points higher will all get the same rate). The finance guy at the dealer should be able to tell you...

It would show up as a credit inquiry...which would give you about 5-10 points...you could pull your report on your own and pay for your own score and take it to the dealer and ask what your rate/payments would be. When you pull your credit report on your own it is a "soft pull" and that does not affect your credit score at all.

Hard pulls ding your credit score. Mortgage and car loan companies do hard pulls. It shows.
If you are car shopping, don't let the salesman pull your credit until you are ready to actually deal. You'll end up with multiple hits. I had a friend who was shopping around and didn't realize every place pulled her credit. When she finally decided on a car, the loan company turned her down due to all the "credit applications" .

The absolutely free reverse vin check sites generally provide fake information. To get real information, money will have to be paid. The free searches provide fake information so they can get your email address to send spam.
Stay away from shady reverse vin check sites, most likely you won't get any information after you make the payment. Not to mention you won't get a report and you won't get an answer if you try to call for a refund. Stick with a reputable reverse vin check site like http://www.reversevincheck.net that has been around since 1995.

Yes it will. 1 credit check wont kill you,but if you get too many inquiries it will look like you are desperate for loans.
