Experian Automotive Partners With Cars.com To Make Autocheck Vehicle History Reports Accessible On Used-Vehicle Listings
Schaumburg, Ill. - Experian Automotive teamed with Cars.com to make AutoCheck vehicle history reports accessible through its used-vehicle listings section. The inclusion of AutoCheck reports on Cars.com gives dealers using the Web site a choice when selecting the vehicle history report to append to their vehicle inventory.
"Vehicle history reports build consumer confidence by validating the quality and condition of a dealership's inventory, and they give dealers a competitive advantage to get potential customers on their lot," said Barbara Mousigian, vice president of product, Cars.com. "By making AutoCheck reports accessible through our Web site, dealers have the option to choose the vehicle history report that best meets their specific needs, ultimately providing a better experience for dealers and consumers with more free reports across our used vehicle inventory."
AutoCheck vehicle history reports provide dealers and consumers with in-depth information on accidents, title brands, frame-damage announcements, odometer issues and other potentially negative events that can impact a vehicle's value. With an average of 27 million monthly visits to Cars.com, shoppers across the country will now be able to leverage the AutoCheck Score, allowing them to quickly and easily understand a vehicle's past and compare it with similar models.
"We are proud to work with Cars.com to make these reports available for used-vehicle listings on their Web site," said Dave Nemtuda, senior vice president, Experian Automotive. "The information provided in an AutoCheck report helps protect used-car buyers from potentially dangerous problems with a vehicle and provides the peace of mind that the vehicle they're driving off the lot meets their specific needs."
