How to Remove Your Car From BidFax
BidFax is usually the first place an owner finds their own car. You type the VIN into Google out of curiosity, and there it is — your photographs, the lot detail and the exact figure the car sold for, on a page you never agreed to. This is what BidFax is, why your vehicle ended up on it, and what actually gets the page taken down.
Remove your BidFax listing
from $29.98 · typically 12–24 hours · only your VIN
There is also an express tier at checkout: $39.99 targets removal inside 12 hours rather than the standard 12–24 hours. Worth it if the car is already listed for sale and buyers are searching the VIN this week; otherwise the standard tier ends up in the same place.
Why your car is on BidFax
Nothing you did put it there. BidFax operates as a public mirror of North American salvage-auction inventory: it ingests the auction feed continuously, and a page for your vehicle was generated automatically the moment the car became a lot number. Every image on that page was taken by the auction house, and every buyer who has ever searched your VIN has seen it.
That automatic generation is also why the page outranks you. It was published, indexed and linked from BidFax's own internal navigation long before you knew it existed — often within days of the sale.
What is actually published
Three things, and the third is the one owners react to. The VIN, which makes the page findable by anyone who has the number. The photo set, republished in full. And the final bid — the precise amount paid, printed next to the lot.
For a private seller that last item is not a detail. It is the opening line of every negotiation they will have from that point on, handed to the other side before the conversation starts.
Why emailing BidFax rarely works
BidFax has no functioning self-service opt-out. Owners write to the contact address and get no reply; the ones who do get a reply are usually told the data came from a public auction feed and will stay.
The other common attempt is Google's 'Remove outdated content' tool. That tool only refreshes Google's copy of a page — it cannot delete the page itself. If the BidFax URL still resolves, the result comes back at the next crawl. This is the single most common reason people conclude removal is impossible: they removed the reflection and left the object.
What removal at the source means
The listing is deleted on BidFax itself — page, photo gallery and sale figure — and only then is the de-index request filed. With no page left to crawl, the search result drops out and does not regenerate.
BidFax is typically among the faster sites to clear. Most jobs finish inside 24 hours, with the Google result following one to two days behind.
Check before you pay
A car on BidFax is almost never on BidFax alone — the same auction feed reaches dozens of sites, and clearing one while four others stay live changes nothing about what a VIN search returns. Run the scan first, see the full list, then decide what is worth removing.
What this does not touch
Only third-party listings — pages a commercial website built by republishing the auction feed, including the owner’s photographs — are removed. Official records are never accessed, altered or influenced: Carfax, AutoCheck, the federal NMVTIS database, state DMV title records and insurance records stay exactly as they are.
Is your car only on BidFax?
Almost never. Check the VIN and see the full list before you pay for anything.

Frequently asked questions
How long does BidFax removal take? +
Most BidFax removals finish within 24 hours. The Google result clears one to two days after the page itself comes down.
Will the BidFax page come back? +
No. The record is deleted at the source rather than hidden from Google's cache, so there is no page left to re-index.
Can I remove it myself for free? +
You can try, and it costs nothing to write to them. In practice BidFax has no working opt-out and the Google outdated-content tool cannot delete a page that still exists — which is why most people arrive here after trying both.
Does this change my Carfax or NMVTIS record? +
No. Carfax, AutoCheck, NMVTIS, the state DMV title record and insurance records are official databases and are never accessed or altered. What comes down is a commercial page that republished the auction lot.
What do you need from me? +
The VIN. No documents, no account, no title paperwork.
