Default Dealer giving free Carfax Acct

Just curious if others received a similar courtesy from their dealer? I bought my new S5 last May and got this today.

While I haven't gotten one for my Audi, I did start receiving one every month on my BMW beginning a few months back.

I’ve received the same report for a couple of months now.

My wife has had a Q7 for 2 years. I just bought a 2021 RS5. Started getting CarFax reports on both right after buying the RS5.

Just bought a CPO S4 and I happened to download and login to the MyCarFax app today for the first time in 2 years. To my extreme surprise, my new car was listed there under my account... Not sure how that was pulled off, but it was and there was a message informing me that the CarFax was free as long as I owned the car. Shocking.

I thought it is always free for your own cars. I also noticed if you want to look at a different car, add that VIN as my car and you'll get the entire history of the car (maybe this is a loophole)

Very cool Audi on your avatar. I personally called my local dealer to have my vin number updated when I bought a used car

We got them for both of our Audis. If the information was truly accurate it would be ok. It tells me I am overdue for an oil change even though the car is only 9 months/8000 miles old.
