Do you rely on Carfax?

Do you rely on Carfax for your currently owned vehicles? I ask because I didn't pay any attention to Carfax until last Monday.

I had my other car in for its annual service at my favorite and reliable auto servicer. Not too surprisingly, I received a call that three additional items needed attention. One of those items was spark plug replacement as per the manufacturers recommendation.

I declined. Why? The shop had replaced them 4 years ago and the plugs and are only halfway through their mileage expectancy. The shop advisor stated that the plugs had not been replaced, according to Carfax. Apparently, Carfax had been misinformed by the very servicer that called me. I found the invoice and gave him a copy.

I created my own login to Carfax, so now I can pay attention to any omissions or errors, plus update the service history for things I do to my cars, such as replace the battery, etc.
