CENTREVILLE, Va., Jan. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Carfax today
announced a major expansion of the Carfax Service Network. The
no-cost vehicle maintenance program is evolving to better connect
member shops with the nearly one million car owners using myCarfax.
As part of the expansion, each participating dealership and
aftermarket service location now is known as a 'myCarfax Service
Shop', making them more recognizable to potential customers.
Shops also get additional benefits through ongoing enhancements
to the myCarfax mobile app that help increase new service business
and improve customer retention.
"This is a huge leap forward that delivers even more value to
our member shops," said Vern Poyner,
general manager at Carfax. "Expanding Carfax Service Network is a
direct result of the success we've had connecting myCarfax users
with trusted service locations in their area. More connections mean
more business and more satisfied customers."
Program benefits are increasing for all myCarfax Service Shops.
Members will receive new myCarfax-branded point of sale materials
for display in their shop or service bays free of charge. Other
benefits like shop ratings and reviews, and mobile coupons on the
myCarfax app, will be rolled out over the next few weeks.
"We love all the benefits we get from our membership," said
Dave Toole, owner of Toole's Garage
in San Carlos, Calif. "The
myCarfax service is growing so quickly that ensuring our shop is
included is vital, and has proven effective. We're reaching and
retaining more customers who are confident in us and the expert
work of our technicians. And, at no cost to us, the price sure is
right."
There currently are more than 33,000 participating locations
across the U.S. becoming myCarfax Service Shops. Car owners using
myCarfax can easily find these shops when looking for local places
to have their vehicle(s) serviced or repaired, or open recalls
fixed.
