CENTREVILLE, Va., Aug. 1, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Carfax has
introduced the Carfax Snapshot tool to help consumers on car
shopping websites make faster buying decisions. Carfax Snapshot
puts key vehicle history details – such as reported accidents,
number of owners, service records and open recalls – for specific
vehicles right in front of potential buyers on the search results
(SRP) and vehicle details (VDP) pages. A single mouse click on the
Carfax Snapshot tool instantly takes buyers to the full Carfax
Report.
"Building customer confidence in our inventory starts with
Carfax information," said Gary
Lindsey, sales director at Graff Chevrolet. "With Carfax
Snapshot, we're putting the vehicle history details that buyers
want to know about most front and center on our site. It's getting
us more eyes on our cars online and more down-funnel shoppers on
our lot."
Auto manufacturers including Audi and GM have enhanced their
Certified Pre-Owned websites with Carfax Snapshot.
For dealers, every vehicle that Carfax Advantage Dealers
advertise for sale on carfax.com with Carfax Used Car Listings
includes Carfax Snapshot. The tool also can be added to online
listings created with the following companies:
- Autoblog.com
- Auto Ad Manager
- AutoCorner
- Autofusion
- AutoMall.com
- Dealer Car Search
- Higher Turnover
- LotBrowser.com
- LotPro.com
- Recycler.com
- V12 Software
"This is a wonderful tool that has steered us toward reliable
automobiles for our children and ourselves," said used car buyer
Lisa S. from Pennsylvania. "One
thing we discovered was that many lower mileage vehicles have been
part of a rental fleet and Carfax made finding this particular
piece of information very easy. We felt very confident about the
car we finally purchased."
"We're constantly looking for new ways to help our dealers boost
buyer confidence," said Larry
Gamache, communications director at Carfax. "Carfax Snapshot
gives online shoppers an up-front, instant overview of the vehicle
history information that matters most to them. Seeing this
information helps people find the right vehicle faster and gets
them one step closer to buying from the selling dealer."
