How πFAX Gets Its Data, & Why Timing Differs?
In general, ππ¦ collects data from data providers such as insurance companies, auto auctions, repair shops, service facilities, and state DMVs. And once any sources report vehicle events (repair, accident, title transfer, recalls, etc), carπ¦ receives all information.
However, it does take some time to verify the data and process it. So, the exact time of the update definitely varies and may take days, weeks, or even a month and a half.
But based on community insights and user experiences, the process takes 30-45 days. During this period, the platform conducts extensive research, contacts the third parties involved, verifies evidence, and then updates the vehicle report.
Typical Timelines for Different Types of Updates
The timeline of πFAX updates also depends on event type. The table below will give you an estimate of how long different events take to show up on the vehicle report:
| Event Type | Update Time After Reporting to ππ¦ |
|---|---|
| Accident or Damage | 24 to 48 hours |
| Title changes/Registration Updates | A few days to a week |
| Repairs or Maintenance | Take several days to weeks |
| Lien Checks or Legal/Title-Status Changes | Depends entirely on verification |
Why Do carπ¦ Updates Delay or Never Appear Sometimes?
If youβre wondering why a vehicleβs πFAX update is taking longer than expected, it can be due to several reasons. The main ones include:
-
Reporting Delays: Not all repair shops or insurers provide data quickly. Sometimes, they donβt even update it, which means ππ¦ will have nothing to update.
-
Verification Process: carπ¦ usually verifies data before adding it. And this whole process is also a bit time-consuming.
