I’m sure some of the cars I looked at were actually meticulously maintained by the previous owner but, as a potential buyer, I pretty much had to assume if routine maintenance didn’t show up on the CARFAX it very well might not have been done. I’m sure you all can see where this is going. I’m afraid free and easy access to CARFAX and similar services is going to impact my diy vs dealer oil change decision. I might change oil more often, but a least once a year or every 5000 miles I think I’ll get a dealer service so it shows up on the CARFAX when I eventually decide to sell the car.
