Repair Shops Do Report

Yes, repair shops do supply information to vehicle history reports. In order to compile a thorough and detailed history of a vehicle, the private companies that maintain vehicle history reports contact a number of agencies and companies that possess information on vehicles.

The DMV provides title and ownership information; insurance companies provide accident information; and the police provide records of car thefts.

Repair shops provide information about all repairs and even maintenance done on cars. All of this information then gets compiled into a single vehicle history report.

Why You Need to Know

Knowing a used car’s major repair history can alert a potential buyer to any major problems with the car, such as frame damage, which can impact the performance and market value of a used car. Cars with an extensive repair history tend to be less reliable down the road.
