AiM Mobile Inspections — the consumer division of Alliance Inspection Management — and Experian Automotive have struck a deal to provide used-car sellers and buyers — including dealers — a one-stop resource on the Web for ordering inspections and vehicle history reports.

Via the partnership, buyers and sellers have the opportunity to order a 150-point inspection from AiM Mobile Inspections and an AutoCheck report from Experian.

These items can enable both dealers and consumers to make more educated and confident decisions in the used-car marketplace, officials noted.

Officials said the AiM Preferred Car Inspection Package — which is composed of an AutoCheck report, AiM’s 150-point bumper-to-bumper inspection and a vehicle test drive — has a retail price of $149 per inspection.

“There’s a lot of apprehension associated with the car-buying process,” said Jim Yates, president and chief executive officer at AiM.

“A car inspection report from AiM combined with an AutoCheck vehicle history report from Experian Automotive can reduce that anxiety and provide peace-of-mind, knowing you have all the necessary data to make a smart purchase,” he continued.

Scott Waldron, president of Experian Automotive, added: “An AutoCheck vehicle history report, combined with a thorough inspection from a respected third-party resource like AIM Mobile Inspections is an important step in the used-vehicle buying process, whether you are a retailer buying vehicles at auction, or a consumer shopping for a vehicle online or at a dealership

“The combination of AutoCheck and AiM helps give consumers peace of mind that the vehicle is in sound mechanical condition and that they are making a wise vehicle purchase decision,” he stated.
