Now Reporting Services to CarFax!

We’re excited to announce that 207 Undercoating is now an official CarFax Service Shop! This means that every undercoating service we perform can now be reported directly to CarFax and included in your vehicle’s maintenance history.

Why Does This Matter?

CarFax is one of the most trusted vehicle history tools in the industry. Reporting your rust protection service through 207 Undercoating helps:

  • Document your vehicle’s proactive maintenance
  • Improve your resale value with a verified service record
  • Show buyers and dealerships that your vehicle has been professionally protected

How It Works

It’s simple. When we complete your service, we’ll log the appointment with CarFax using your vehicle’s VIN. You don’t need to do anything extra—just let us know you’d like it reported. This service is included with your appointment at no extra cost.

Why It Matters for Rust Protection

Rust protection is an investment in your vehicle’s longevity and value. Having this step listed on your CarFax report helps potential buyers or dealers understand the level of care your vehicle has received over time. It’s a way to back up your maintenance history with third-party verification.

Book your appointment now and keep your rust protection on the record—literally.

FAQs

Does it cost extra to report to CarFax?

Nope! Reporting your undercoating service is completely free and included with your appointment.

What information is shared with CarFax?

Our software partner will automatically send CarFax your vehicle identification number (VIN) and/or license plate number, date of service, and the service description. We never send CarFax any customer information, email addresses, phone numbers, or physical addresses. All information shared with CarFax is deidentified.

Can I opt-out of my service being reported to CarFax?

Absolutely! If you do not want your service reported to CarFax, please inform us in writing prior to your appointment. We can then block your data from being ported to CarFax. Since this process is automated, if you do not inform us prior to your appointment, the system will automatically send your service.

What if I already had a service this year—can it be added?

Yes, we can add past services. Please contact us with your VIN and we’ll take care of it.

Will this show as maintenance or rust protection?

It will show as either an undercoating inspection or an undercoating application on your official CarFax maintenance history.

Why does this help with resale?

Dealerships and private buyers often check CarFax reports before purchasing. A record of regular rust protection shows that your vehicle has been well maintained.
