THE CARFAX MISSION: CARFAX provides trusted information that helps millions of people shop, buy, service and sell cars with more confidence.
CARFAX started with a vision: Be the leading source of vehicle history information for buyers and sellers of used cars. Today, we have the most comprehensive vehicle history database available in North America. In fact, hundreds of millions of consumers trust CARFAX to provide them with vehicle history information every year.
And for good reason – we receive information from more than 151,000 data sources, including every U.S. and Canadian provincial motor vehicle agency, plus many auto auctions, fire and police departments, collision repair facilities, fleet management and rental agencies and more.
CARFAX Vehicle History Reports™ are available on all used cars, SUVs, and light trucks from model year 1981 or later. Using the unique 17-character vehicle identification number (VIN), a CARFAX Report is instantly generated from our database of over 35 billion records.
