If you use insurance to pay them, they report it.
If you pay them in cash, no one sees anything. What body work?

It’s my rocker that needs to be fixed.

I’m still debating. One shop wants to blend the whole left side another shop wants to just bland halfway thru the door.

Not entirely true. Carfax is like the step cousin of the automotive world. Some people tell their step cousin they wrecked, others don't. There's no laws or regulations requiring anyone to report anything to them no matter what.

Some companies do, some don't.
