CarFax Update

By mediainmind

It turns out that I wrote my previous post about CarFax without all the information I should have had.

Apparently, it isn’t just OEM automobile service centers that subscribe to CarFax, many independent shops also report the work they do on your vehicle.

But not all shops do. That’s why CarFax is not always factual—it might not have received all the facts about work that’s been done!

In talking with some service technicians that I know personally, it seems that the best way to know the facts about a used vehicle you are thinking of buying is to have it checked out by a reputable independent shop that either you or a good friend of yours knows to be 100% honest. Pay for an inspection that can help you decide whether the vehicle you are thinking about buying is a good deal or not.

Peace out!
