Description
CARFAX gathers data from over 112,000 sources, which includes every motor vehicle agency across the U.S. and Canada, in addition to various auto auctions, police and fire departments, collision repair shops, rental agencies, and fleet management services. Their Vehicle History Reports™ cover all used cars and light trucks from the 1981 model year onwards. By utilizing the distinctive 17-character vehicle identification number (VIN), CARFAX can quickly produce a report from a database that consists of more than 26 billion records. Each report provides critical information that may influence a buyer's decision regarding the purchase of a used vehicle. Furthermore, the CARFAX Buyback Guarantee minimizes the risks associated with buying pre-owned cars; if a report does not reveal a DMV-issued branded title, such as salvage or odometer discrepancies, CARFAX pledges to repurchase the vehicle at the full price. This assurance is a significant benefit for consumers who want peace of mind when investing in a used vehicle.
