The story

CarProof was created in 2000 and is based in London, Ontario. Paul Antony, the company's co-founder, recognized through his experience running a car dealership that no service existed for a cross-Canada lien search on used cars. He, along with a team of founders, created CarProof to provide Canadians who are buying or selling used cars with accurate details about a vehicle's history as well as lien information. CarProof has since added vehicle valuation solutions to its product line. The company's president is Mark Rousseau. In December 2015, CarProof was purchased by IHS Inc for 650 million. On November 1, 2018, CarProof officially became CARFAX Canada.
