I requested a single report and was billed for 5! Why would they do that to people I do not know. Now not only do I have try to deal with this company (which I have no faith that they will fix it), I have to deal with Amazon, who makes it nearly impossible to deal with this as well!!! RIP OFF RIP OFF RIP OFF.... BUYER BEWARE!

Car fax states my car was damaged and was reported by a confidential source. I’ve never had an accident in the car but now I’m being docked on my trade in because of bs reporting of damage. I try to dispute it but get nothing but a bs email stating there was damage reported!!!! Don’t trust car fax!!!!

I was in an accident, I was not at fault. Carfax will make whatever “report” they come up with to make your car look as bad as they possibly can with no intentions on stating parts were changed only that the car is basically worthless. Thanks Carfax!

Purchased 2 vehicles listed on Carfax from EchoPark used car dealership in New Braunfels. Cliff, our salesperson was terrific and attentive to detail. My trade in value greatly surpassed expectations and vehicles were sold BELOW Bluebook value with no price haggling. Terrific!

I will be contacting my attorney so if anybody wants to send me their info to carfax.complaint@gmail.com so we can file a law suite please do so with all info. i have owned my Porsche 911 since 2016. Carfax is reporting a "frame damage". NO ACCIDENTS. i spoke with my insurance who has no knowledge of any damage, i spoke with police in California who has no info on any damage finally i went to Porsche in Newport Beach California to inspect my vehicle. Service and sale manager looked at my car, top and bottom on a lift in service department and they noted NO DAMAGE. Carfax is ignoring my emails since February of 2019. To trade in my vehicle i would be losing roughly $30,000 and i will be seeking damages worth of $30,000. - already filed a complaint in BBB. if anybody has any open case, suggestions or suite against carfax please let me know!!! This has to END!

Last report on my car was 2013. I've had my car serviced at several shops since then and there is absolutely nothing on it. I own a 2007 Ford mustang. My car has been to Gates Chevy for oil changes, to the Ford shop for a recall, Sam's club for new tires, tire rotation and lifetime alignments, veldmans auto service center for new tires, ddw automotive in osceola, Indiana for rebuilt transmission, d & c tire for some front end work in niles michigan..not to mention I had body work done at a shop on western ave in south bend. I'm shocked I've had work done at these businesses on my car and there's no report of it.

Carfax placed inaccurate date on my vehicles Carfax vehicles report. Disputed with documentation and still refused to correct inaccuracy.n. Everyone should review their report and dispute or it will cost you thousands someday.

Don't invest your money on binary options, it is a big scam.. They go on ripping people of their hard earned money. I invested my life savings, i kept investing until i requested for withdrawal. My account was debited and here i am with 0$ balance. It was a tough time for me but i am glad that i came across a colleague that introduced me to a options trade funds recovery expert who goes by the name Mr Andrew Robertt when i met them i did not believe that they could get back my money fortunately they did it, feel free to contact them via their email address:andrewrobertt69@gmail.com and they will help you claim back your lost funds that was denied from you by your scam broker.

Beware!!!! This place is a total scam. I bought a 2011 Range Rover 'as is' at the end of April and the next day the check engine lights came on and I supposedly needed to add coolant. The coolant needed to be added because the stuff was leaking into the engine. Have had this car in several shops over the first 60 days of owning it, repairing fuel injectors and a coolant tank only to find out the head gasket now needs to be replaced. They would do absolutely nothing to help with this. The DID try and get an extended warranty company to get involved a month after we had it and the problem was now so obvious...and that is insurance fraud by the way. The broker walked away from them on that. We were willing to keep the car and work with them to repair it but they refused to acknowledge the issue which there is no doubt they knew about. Dishonest and unscrupulous and just so wrong. We work hard ourselves to do the right thing by folks and these people exist. They even told me at the end that they were closing so they didn't care about doing anything.

The information reported is wrong. Miles reported are incorrect. I have pending sale and the wrong information is being reported. They have no call center!!! You cant call them. Everything is online and they could care less that the information being reported is wrong. They will not make anyone a priority.

Honestly, I work for an auto dealership so I personally deal with carfax on an almost daily basis. Let me first explain how carfax gets their reports. Obviously, any servicing done by a known source gets reported IF they report to carfax. Not all, but most places do. If you have a big dealer, chances are they have 3rd party service like tint, bumper, paint and small repairs work at the dealer. So these things get reported in various ways. My experience is something small like a paint touch up on the front bumper has caused carfax to report "front end damage" on cars that never had "damage" like you'd expect from a fender bender. This is why carfax is a sham. It hurts everyone and does nothing good except recording miles (sometimes) and titling ownership. They will state their "very reputable third party connections " bring them incident reports even if a dealer has proof they had a paint touch up and they will report major damage on the carfax. If you despute good luck. They don't care. They want physical proof. Most dealers doing touch up paint for a scratch aren't going to photograph this because it isnt damage but carfax says otherwise. They also randomly add services to a vehicle up to 5 years ( that I have personally seen ) old. For example you pull a carfax today on your car and its clean but some how they pull a small bumper repair from 5 years ago and suddenly when you go to trade it your car it says accidents reported. Rear damage, major damage and it was the smallest tap to your bumper. Again, more headache then help. Honestly, you cannot buy a damaged vehicle from a licensed legit dealer without disclosing this information so carfax is obsolete. Lemon laws and other laws for the rightful sales of vehicles prevent you from buying a car that shouldn't be sold so carfax is a sham. It's fear mongering has caused more headaches then anything else I've dealt with in the automotive industry. 10/10 would never trust carfax.

We found our 2013 Toyota Sequoia Platinum series thru Carfax. We drove 31/2 hours to Eden Prarie, MN to test drive the vehicle at U CAR CONNECT. We were NOT disappointed! Tommy, the owner greeted us with a warm smile and hand shake. Threw us the keys and said,"take her for a spin". So, within 15 minutes after our test drive, Tommy sealed the deal with us. We bought his personal Sequoia. Get this, he even waited for us to leave the lot, waived goodbye. U CAR CONNECT treated us (and all his customers who walked in) with respect. We felt like family. Thank you CAR FAX for doing business with U CAR CONNECT. Tom & Marilu Iowa

These reports are used as the industry standard to verify a car's history and can real economic implications. And yet they don't care if their information is accurate nor will they tell you where information has come from. Seems like a huge scam to me.

Carfax refuses to verify their information. Four other VIn reports do not reflect what Carfax reports. Carfax is very unhelpful. They don't care if the reports are true or not
