History
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.[1] CarProof has since added vehicle valuation solutions to its product line.[2] The company's president is Mark Rousseau. In December 2015, CarProof was purchased by IHS Inc for 650 million.[3] On November 1, 2018, CarProof officially became CARFAX Canada.[4]
