SANTA MONICA, Calif.  — Edmunds.com, the premier online resource for automotive information, today announced that it has teamed up with Experian Automotive, a leader in providing information services and market intelligence to the automotive industry, to make AutoCheck vehicle history reports available on Edmunds.com. Dealers utilizing the site will now have the opportunity to append AutoCheck vehicle history reports to their used inventory listings, making them available to the consumers looking to buy.

“In the recent past, used car shoppers and dealers had limited information about specific used cars. But technology has made it possible to use the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to reveal all sorts of details about a car’s past, and anyone who buys a used car without taking advantage of this opportunity is taking an unnecessary and potentially expensive risk,” stated Edmunds.com senior consumer advice editor Philip Reed.

AutoCheck vehicle history reports allow dealers and consumers to quickly and easily check if the vehicle has previously sustained major flood damage or has any reported accidents, frame damage or odometer rollback issues. Additionally, access to AutoCheck reports allows visitors to Edmunds.com to better understand a vehicle’s complete history, compare it with similar models using AutoCheck Score®, and be confident that they are selecting the one that best suits their needs. Edmunds.com’s relationship with Experian Automotive also enables shoppers to filter searches through AutoCheck by a car’s condition.

“We are proud to team with Edmunds.com to provide dealers and consumers with AutoCheck. Having ready access to a vehicle’s history is critical, because it helps take the unknowns out of the purchasing process, and enables dealers and consumers to better understand, compare and select the right vehicle,” said Scott Waldron, president of Experian Automotive.
