That can be anything from open safety recalls to vehicle registrations to new accident information. The largest percent of the data we’re loading today is service and maintenance records. We are uniquely positioned because of these records to help people at every stage of the car ownership experience, from shopping to servicing to selling.”

The 30 billionth record loaded into the CARFAX database is an “offered for sale” record on a 2020 Kia Telluride. This Telluride is a one-owner, well-maintained, certified pre-owned SUV that has had no accidents or damage reported to CARFAX.
