Question 1

How do your reports cost less than going directly to CARFAX?

Accepted Answer

We buy report access in bulk at a discount and pass that on. You are not getting a lesser report, only skipping the retail markup, which is how we can sell a cheap Carfax report for $7.99 instead of $44.99.

Question 2

Does the report cover Canadian-specific title brands, such as CAMVAP or lemon law buybacks?

Accepted Answer

It does. A Carfax VIN check here includes CAMVAP (the Canadian Motor Vehicle Arbitration Plan), provincial salvage brands and designations, and any lemon law equivalent buyback records.

Question 3

Is this an actual CARFAX report, or some third-party summary?

Accepted Answer

It is the genuine report, the same document any dealership pulls, formatted identically with all the same data fields. The only thing that changes is what you pay for it.

Question 4

What if I haven't received my report?

Accepted Answer

It rarely happens, but check your spam folder first. If it is not there, contact support. We are available 24/7 and will sort it out quickly.

Question 5

How fast will I receive my report?

Accepted Answer

In 10 seconds or sooner. As soon as your payment clears, the report is waiting in your dashboard, and it stays there so you can reopen it whenever you want.

Question 6

Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every purchase is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee, and unused credits are refunded in full within 30 days, no questions asked. A report you have already run is generally not refundable, since we are charged for each one, but if a report fails to generate the credit returns to your account automatically and we review genuine mistakes case by case.

Question 7

Do I need to create an account to buy a cheap Carfax report?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and registration is free and takes about a minute. It keeps every report you run in one place so you can go back to a VIN months later without paying twice.

Question 8

What vehicles are covered?

Accepted Answer

Any vehicle with a Canadian or U.S. VIN, including cars, SUVs and trucks. If it has a 17-character VIN, we can run the check.

Question 9

Does the report show salvage titles and odometer readings?

Accepted Answer

Both. Title brands such as flood, rebuilt and salvage appear alongside every recorded odometer reading, so you can spot a rollback. Open recalls show up too, if the vehicle has any.

Question 10

Will a Canadian CARFAX report show U.S. history if the car was imported?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and this catches people out more than it should. If the vehicle was driven or registered in the U.S. before being imported into Canada, that history follows the VIN and your report will include it.

Question 11

Do you provide CARFAX reports for Canadian vehicles?

Accepted Answer

We do. Our reports cover both Canadian and U.S. VINs. Whether the car was sold in Ontario, Alberta, BC or anywhere else in Canada, we can pull its full history.

Question 12

Do you offer bulk pricing for dealers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most of our packs are built for dealer volume, so the more you buy the less each one costs, down to $3.00 a report. If you are flipping cars or running a lot, that is the cheapest Carfax report you will find per VIN.
