If you can’t find anyone to run it for you, check eBay.

You can get a CARFAX and AUTOCHECK report for less than $5.

Remember though, the reports will only show you what has been reported.

If some shmuck is involved in a collision, takes frame damage, but decides to cheap out, and just replace the bumper in his driveway, you’ll never see that on CARFAX or AUTOCHECK.

Good luck.

I've taken extensive damage, had it repaired at the dealer, and it still didn't show up on Carfax when I traded the vehicle in...to the same dealer.

That happens, or car fax will show clean until you purchase the car then afterwards all the reports start coming out. All you can do is get a car fax & autocheck, and check the car over for potential body work done and hope for the best.
