just because the visits don't show up on carfax doesn't mean they aren't logged. it just simply means that they weren't reported to a source carfax recognizes.

there is no law requiring anyone to report anything to carfax, which is why it is a good resource, but it is not a substitute for self-researching a vehicle, or having an independent inspection. i had a car that was rear-ended early in it's life, but it had a clean carfax.
