does carfax even show how much work a dealer does on the car? or does it only show what has been reported by the police and insurance in regards to the car.

cause lets say the cars engine is toast, and you bring it to the dealer and get engine rebuilt. if all carfax is showing is insurance data like accidents well your car may have never been in one but now it has a rebuilt engine in it...

I'm not so sure about that situation, but it's possible. I was thinking more along the lines of that insurance and police agencies don't send CarFax information promptly; in some cases, it can take months for the information for reach CarFax. In that time, an unwitting buyer could be buying a used car that has had frame damage even if the sheet says it's clean.

CBC's Marketplace did an awesome TV report on it:
