Carfax randomly added an accident to my report (input welcome)

I'm sure mine shows an accident, even though it was essentially only a small dent in the quarter panel from a dumb **** on a motorcycle the car still had to be put on a frame puller to be fixed, little over 5k in damage.

i was reading a reddit thread about this. Apparently a shop put the car on the frame bender not to actually do frame repairs. But carfax considers any "frame time" to mean that extensive damage and repairs were done. Even if there was no structural damage. IIRC the guy go the shop to tell carfax that and they removed it.
