Never used Carfax before this endevour to buy a used car / suv. Found it quite helpfull as long as the car was maintained at a dealership somewhere. Not much use if it was not since apparently not many independent mechanics input to car fax. I used my truck as a test bed , bought the 5 pack offered for $59.00, and used it for checking mine and 4 others before I bought one at a dealership. The info on recalls pending and done was worth the cost alone and influenced us away from the first car we searched for along time to find due to the recalls that were doen and pending. A good service but perhaps a little misleading in your advertising on the TV. Joe Sampietro
