Reynolds, Experian to provide AutoCheck vehicle history reports to dealerships

AutoCheck Plus will automatically retrieve vehicle history report information on used vehicles in the dealership's ERA DMS inventory and allow dealers to view that information throughout the entire ERA DMS. The company says this can provide dealers with up-to-date title and history information to help them improve how they manage and market their used vehicle inventories.

"This is one more example of how Reynolds is helping dealers improve their used vehicle operations and make better business decisions for their entire dealership," says Jon Strawsburg, vice president of Product Planning for Reynolds.

With AutoCheck Plus, dealerships will be able to review information on a vehicle's history, including possible undisclosed or unknown problems such as title brand records, prior accident history or odometer issues – all of which can influence an automobile's safety and resale value. AutoCheck Plus will be available from a number of screens within the ERA DMS, and the information will be updated in near real time in the DMS so dealers can review the latest information on significant events in their vehicles' histories.

The company says AutoCheck Plus vehicle history reports will help make evaluating and selling vehicles easier by including the industry's only vehicle history score, the AutoCheck Score, a numeric indicator between one and 100 that calculates and weighs key areas of a vehicle's history so dealerships and consumers can quickly and easily understand a vehicle's past and compare it to similar vehicles, lowering the risk of buying and selling a vehicle with undetected problems and increasing confidence among consumers.
