Why would you say something you don't know and pass it as truth? |

I'm pretty sure it's insurance companies that share information with Carfax, not body shops. |
I used to work for Carfax, this is the secret sauce they don't want to share.
I'll say for certain that they used to have a department that would solicit body shops to share information.
Insurance companies do share info, this is a fact.
Fun tip: When ordering a part like a fender from a dealer or online, use a vin that isn't yours.
