Dealers Get Access to Expanded Vehicle History and Carfax
Advantage Pricing
TORONTO, June 26, 2014 /CNW/
- Carfax today announced several major improvements to increase the
benefits for Canadian auto dealers that subscribe to Carfax.
Dealers now have access to damage claim amounts reported to Carfax
from Canadian insurers and can easily purchase cross-Canada lien
reports through Carfax. This vital information helps protect
dealerships and their customers.
Canadian dealers now can become Carfax® Advantage® Dealers,
helping build consumer confidence right away. This benefit, popular
with US dealers, gives dealers access to all the Carfax Reports
they need at one low, flat-rate, monthly fee.
"Our mission is to make sure every customer drives away happy in
a car they love," said Gregory Buhr, owner/principal at GWB Auto
Sales in Manitoba. "To help us do that, we need
the best data at a price that doesn't blow away our budget. Carfax
has proven again that they're the right partner for us."
Carfax also unveiled a newly updated Carfax® Vehicle History
Report™ specifically redesigned for Canada. One
major change is that all odometer readings are in kilometers to
help eliminate any conversion issues for dealers.
"Carfax plays a key role in nearly every aspect of a dealer's
used car operations," said Jon Arnett, general manager/managing
director for Carfax Canada. "We're working hard to meet the needs
of Canadian dealers and help them sell cars faster for more
money."
Insurance claim amounts reported to Carfax are included on
Carfax Reports, along with other vital details like registration
history, odometer readings, number of owners, vehicle maintenance,
safety recalls, and much more reported to Carfax. Dealers can
easily access the real-time lien search from their account at
www.carfaxonline.ca.
