I've looked into this and you can provide details of DIY service and even upload receipts but it will now show up on the official carfax report that people will see. Here is link to the FAQ on this.

I don't think anyone sees it other than the owner of the car who registered an account on Carfax. A new owner for the same car will likely not see these either even though it's the same car. It's more for the owner to keep track of their own maintenance and not to provide evidence of maintenance. Nevertheless, I decided to try it out and recorded my own maintenance on my car. It lists it alongside the reported maintenance by the dealership but I believe I am the only person that will ever see they DIY entries. I keep my own detailed notes along with photos of the service being performed and receipts of the materials purchased. If I ever sell the car privately, I will include that info to the perspective buyers. If I were to trade it in, I doubt the dealership will care to even see them.
