Buy with confidence
When making buying decisions - especially across multiple channels such as auctions, dealerships and private sales - having comprehensive vehicle history data is essential to maximize operational efficiency and profits.
It's important to check the lien status on vehicles that are being considered, ensuring there are no financial obligations that could result in legal complications and deployment delays. Additionally, accurately estimating market value using real-time data and industry benchmarks enables fleet managers to negotiate better deals, avoid overpaying, and maximize profitability across their portfolio.
Detect fraud
Fraudulent activity poses a serious risk in the automotive industry, and fleet managers must be especially vigilant when acquiring and managing vehicles. VIN fraud can be encountered in several ways, including VIN cloning and a VIN that has been tampered with. CARFAX Canada estimates that there are over 372,000 potentially cloned VINs in Canada.[2]

CARFAX Canada data solutions can help fleet managers detect and avoid potential fraud by:
- Flagging unusual history that could indicate a potential VIN clone
- Identifying stolen status
- Providing details on a vehicle’s history so fleet managers can easily identify gaps with vehicle registration information, missing history or history that doesn’t seem plausible
By flagging these issues early in the acquisition process, it can protect businesses from financial losses and safeguard themselves from unreliable or unsafe vehicles.
Optimize portfolio management
Managing a fleet or leasing portfolio demands continuous monitoring and timely decision-making.
CARFAX Canada fleet solutions are designed to support this level of operational control by providing portfolio health checks, which give managers a clear and up-to-date view of their assets.
Fleet managers receive updates on critical changes, such as:
- Registration modifications
- Manufacturer recalls

- Stolen vehicle status
These insights empower them to proactively manage their fleet, reduce downtime, maximize profits and enhance overall operational efficiency.
In a competitive market, data is one of the most valuable assets. CARFAX Canada fleet solutions are built to help fleet professionals reduce risk, increase efficiency, and make smarter decisions—every step of the way.
