Default accuracy or carfax & autocheck

i remember someone asked about a carfax. i remember using autocheck had unlimited runs when i was selling my jeep. so i ran one on our Lexus. autocheck said something about frame damage. didn't really think about anything at the time, but then figured, i should get it cleared up. emailed autocheck and verified they had a place that reported frame damage. carfax does not show any problems lexus driver didn't have anything reported either. we purchased from a used car lot back in 10/2011. it has never been in a crash since we have owned it. autocheck is going to look into their reports & email me back.

does anyone else know what i can check to verify try to clear this up?

You could probably have an inspection done. Frame damage even if repaired is usually very easy to detect upon inspection. Then forward the report to Autocheck. I browse cars on a daily basis and I find that quite often Autocheck and Carfax are in conflict with one another and these reports whether accurate or not can really have an effect on cars value.
