Comment on A CarFax for Used PCs; Hewlett Packard wants to give old laptops new lifeparent

Comments

AFAIK, at least some repairs done by non-dealers are never reported to Carfax, making it prone to false negatives.

Maintenance too. There was about a decade that I took my car to the repair place within walking distance of home for regular maintenance (oil, brakes, shocks, tires, etc). I took it somewhere else after moving, and they asked if I really hadn't done any maintenance in the past 10 years.

I had some body work performed on my car, and the shop had a sign that explained that they don't report to Carfax.
