CARFAX Car Care - Latest Quality Issues
iOS
Mar 25, 2025
No classic car VIN support
Even if your tags are legal and valid, CarFax will claim there is no VIN in the database because they don't like the format. An EASY software fix prevents older vehicles from being loaded and tracked. I guess older vehicles don't generate money for CarFax. 3/2025 update: still unsupported 9/2023 update: still unsupported

Great app if it wasn't full of bugs. Can't submit a shop review or app crashes. Maintenance intervals are listed under schedule that are not accompanied by the same interval selection under services to be able to mark complete. The ability to add tire brand and info does not work other than the tire size field. It will not let you change the selected vehicle picture once selected as well as several other bugs. The concept of this app is great however the developer(s) need to fix it.

Used to be good
This app used to be great until they started censoring the VIN, now I have to individually go walk around and look at the VIN myself if I want to report it to a service center. It's so annoying and VERY inconvenient and defeats the purpose of the app as it used to be very easy to do this by just copy and pasting it from the glovebox and sending it to the service advisor.

“Bug Fixes and Improvements”
Thank you for updating the app and fixing the bugs. I also appreciate you removing features and the removing the ability to see the VIN number in the glovebox. Great way to ruin a great app.

Excessive Incorrect Reminders
Starts reminding for a 60K mile service at 55,[address]an average of 2,500 per year. Then when you try to correct the estimated mileage they still keep overestimating and incorrectly changing the current odometer.

No visible VIN ?
It used to be much more better !!! Anytime I could check my vehicles VIN, but after update it's not available anymore !!! What else are you going to remove next time ??? Why you remove option to see FULL VIN in the glovebox ??? Please bring back FULL VIN to glovebox !!!

Why removing the ability to copy the vin number and hide that number
The one reason I was using this app was for that to be accessible easily and rapidly besides the fuel tracker.

Love the app..when it works
This app is great but over the last few months the viewing attachments (receipts that I uploaded to records) would not work. Today I'm trying to “scan to pdf” and it won't work. I get errors. I deleted the app and reinstalled, same thing. Also, with scan to pdf there needs to be a UI update…I'm don't scanning but unsure how to edit “photo mode”. Very confusing for users.
