"When we deliver a car to a customer we like to show a Carfax Vehicle History Report with service records from our dealership on the report," said Pat Kenny, Used Car Manager at Huffines Subaru in Lewisville, Tex. "By doing so, this helps to ensure customers bring their cars back to our dealership for service to keep more value in their vehicles. Having service information on the Carfax Report also helps us better evaluate vehicles and price them more accurately."
Carfax Service Link is a free, value-added feature that puts a participating dealership's name on the Carfax Report of each vehicle they service. Dealership contact information and a Web site link appears alongside each service record to help dealers retain these vehicles in their service cycle. More than 5400 dealerships report their service information to Carfax through the Carfax Service Link program.
"Sharing the details of the vehicle's past with customers builds confidence in our CPO program and demonstrates that you have nothing to hide," said James Sarchese, National Manager Added Security at Subaru of America.
Any dealership can join the Carfax Service Link program at no cost. Subaru and other dealers interested in participating can call (800) 561-5496. For more information about Carfax Service Link, visit www.carfaxonline.com.
