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.
