Does a CARFAX report if a Timing Belt Service has been performed at a Honda Dealer?

I am looking to find out if my Used Honda Accord has ever had the Timing Belt service performed. I called around and the local dealers don't seem to have a record from the previous owner.

Would a CARFAX report tell me this service record?Does a CARFAX report if a Timing Belt Service has been performed at a Honda Dealer?Not the details of services that were done to the car but it will tell you things like accidents, major repairs, odometer issues, smog history, etc....

You should get it replaced anyway, including the other belts as well. Might as well do them all at once.Does a CARFAX report if a Timing Belt Service has been performed at a Honda Dealer?
No - Carfax information is spotty at best and often totally bogus. It couldn't even get basic title information right on my daughter's Accord and didn't reveal (as the seller did) that it had been stolen and recovered.



The only documentation you can trust for timing belt replacement is a receipt or dealer record. Timing belts are just too important to guess about. It's a bitter pill but if a seller can't provide proof of the timing belt change the buyer has to get it changed right away. Fortunately you will know when the one is due after that.Does a CARFAX report if a Timing Belt Service has been performed at a Honda Dealer?im pretty sure a carfax report wont show any major services done like timing belts etc.



go to your local honda dealer, they can run your VIN number and see if any dealer across the country has replaced it



other than that see if you can find out where the car was serviced and they can check their records



also one thing you can do (if its a 4 cylinder only) is check the water pump, if it looks newer than the engine block (and it would be fairly obvious) than most likely the timing belt has been replaced



if you have a V6 then the water pump is not visible and you wont be able to tell



hope this helpsDoes a CARFAX report if a Timing Belt Service has been performed at a Honda Dealer?
The only thing you could do is take the VIN to each Honda dealer and have them check their service history, even then you might not find the answer.



Best is to have it and the pulleys that hold it in place replaced if you have more than 150,000 miles. Almost all Honda engines are interference, it means your valves WILL hit the piston when the belt brakes, pretty much making your car junk.Does a CARFAX report if a Timing Belt Service has been performed at a Honda Dealer?Carfax does not report services performed except manufacturers recalls. See if you can contact the previous owner. If that doesn't work, change it for peace of mind. It's much cheaper than replacing an engine.
