MONROE, Ohio -

Consumer-facing vehicle condition report C.A.R.Score said it has exited its pilot agreement and will continue conducting inspections for CarOffer, an auto retail industry dealer-to-dealer trade network for used vehicles.

Dealer Specialties, a provider of vehicle data collection, image generation, window labeling services and inventory management and marketing, created C.A.R.Score, which assesses a vehicle’s exterior and interior condition.

That includes, but is not limited to, instrument and control panels, mirrors, upholstery, and vehicle odor. More than 2,000 active C.A.R.Score reports are currently on carscorereport.com.

“Our lot services team touches an average of 1.1 million used vehicles per year,” Dealer Specialties president Shane Marcum said in a news release.

CarOffer chief strategy officer Scott Johnston said C.A.R.Score has completed more than 3,000 inspections for CarOffer on vehicles that are ready to trade.

“Our focus is to make the management of inventory easy, fast and simple for dealers, whether that is buying, selling or trading vehicles,” Johnston said in a news release.

C.A.R.Score is integrated with all major automotive space website providers and is included in AutoCheck and CARFAX Vehicle History Reports.

Johnston said the ability of C.A.R.Score to complete inspections within 24 to 48 hours makes it an ideal partner. That is important, he said, as C.A.R.Score also places a priority on turnaround times without compromising quality.

Of the approximately 2,000 inspections C.A.R.Score completes per month, almost 40% are completed for CarOffer.

“Dealer Specialties is nationally known for lot services and vehicle photography,’ Marcum said. “Our coverage and ability to reach thousands of dealers in all major markets in the U.S. combined with our ability to record vehicle condition reports makes us a very strategic partner for CarOffer.”
