SCHAUMBURG, Ill. -

Thanks to a deal between the two companies announced this morning, dealers can now choose to include Experian Automotive’s AutoCheck vehicle history reports with their used-car listings on Cars.com.

“Vehicle history reports build consumer confidence by validating the quality and condition of a dealership’s inventory, and they give dealers a competitive advantage to get potential customers on their lot,” said Barbara Mousigian, vice president of product for Cars.com.

“By making AutoCheck reports accessible through our Website, dealers have the option to choose the vehicle history report that best meets their specific needs, ultimately providing a better experience for dealers and consumers with more free reports across our used vehicle inventory,” she continued.

Experian Automotive senior vice president Dave Nemtuda said: “We are proud to work with Cars.com to make these reports available for used-vehicle listings on their Website. The information provided in an AutoCheck report helps protect used-car buyers from potentially dangerous problems with a vehicle and provides the peace of mind that the vehicle they’re driving off the lot meets their specific needs.”
