About CARFAX Canada
We believe that trust and transparency are vital in the automotive industry, so we build products that draw on billions of data records from thousands of sources to help bring you peace of mind.
Our story
Our journey began in 2000 with the founding of CarProof and a commitment to provide accurate details about a vehicle's history and lien information to Canadians in the process of buying or selling used cars.
Over the next 18 years, our Vehicle History Report became increasingly more robust as we added thousands of data sources. We were also able to expand our suite of products into valuation with the Vehicle Valuation Report for car dealerships and a free consumer valuation tool.
In 2018, we officially became CARFAX Canada and have launched multiple products since then, including a Vehicle Trade-in Widget for car dealerships and History-Based Value.
2020 saw more major changes with a move into our new, state-of-the-art office space at 100 Kellogg Lane in London, Ontario. In 2022, CARFAX Canada officially became part of S&P Global after their merger with IHS Markit.
At CARFAX Canada, innovation remains at the forefront of what we do, and our comprehensive suite of products and tools continues to grow. We remain focused on the same goal we had more than 20 years ago – providing Canadians with vehicle insights to make buying, selling and owning a vehicle easier.
Over our 20+ years of serving Canadians we’ve received multiple industry awards including Canada’s Most Admired Corporate Cultures and the London Chamber of Commerce Large Business of the Year.
