What Is BidFax? How to Check Your Car and Remove It
If you searched your car and landed on BidFax, you've probably seen its old auction photos, damage notes and sale price staring back at you. This guide explains what BidFax is, whether the data is accurate, how to read it in English, and how to remove your car from BidFax and Google.
What is BidFax?
BidFax (bidfax.info) is a third-party vehicle-history website. It collects listings from North American salvage and insurance auctions like Copart and IAAI, then republishes each lot publicly — the 17-character VIN, photos, odometer, damage description and final bid. It is not an official record; it's a copy of an auction listing kept online and indexed by Google long after the sale.
What information does BidFax show?
A typical BidFax page includes your car's VIN, multiple auction photos, the primary and secondary damage, estimated retail value, sale date and winning bid. Because this data is scraped and mirrored, the very same listing usually appears on dozens of other sites at the same time — which is why deleting one page rarely clears your VIN from search.
Is BidFax accurate and legit?
BidFax is a real, widely used site, and its data generally mirrors the original auction lot. But it can be out of date: it reflects the car's condition at auction, not after repairs, and it doesn't represent any official title, insurance, or NMVTIS record. For a current, regulated picture of a vehicle you'd use an official report — BidFax is simply a public listing archive.
How to view BidFax in English
Many BidFax pages load in Russian or another language by default. The English mirror is usually reached at the en.bidfax.info subdomain, or by switching the language selector in the page header. The underlying VIN, photos and figures are identical regardless of language.
How to remove your car from BidFax
You can request removal of the public page that shows your vehicle. The reliable approach is two steps: remove the listing at its source, then de-index it from Google.
- Find every page. Run our VIN visibility check to see where your car appears across BidFax and 100+ similar sites.
- Remove the source listing. CleanVINUSA processes BidFax removal — most pages are handled within 12–24 hours.
- Request Google de-indexing for eligible URLs so the outdated result drops out of search after the page is gone.
What we can and can't do
CleanVINUSA works only with public third-party pages and the URLs you select. We do not alter official or regulated records — DMV/title, insurance, NMVTIS, Carfax, AutoCheck, manufacturer systems or official auction databases. Removal reduces the online visibility of copied listings; it is not a way to hide material damage from a buyer, and you remain responsible for any disclosures required where you live.
FAQ
Is BidFax free? Basic listing previews are visible for free; full report details are often paywalled. Either way, the public preview is what shows your car in Google.
How long does BidFax removal take? The source page is usually processed within 12–24 hours; Google's index can take additional days to refresh.
Will it come back? The removed page stays gone. A brand-new repost created later is a separate listing and would need its own removal.
