Through a new partnership between SureSale and Tampa Bay-area dealer Maus Family Automotive, a vehicle report will be available to consumers on each of Maus’ pre-owned vehicles.

Providing vehicle histories, inspections, and assessments of current quality, SureSale said it offers consumers transparency and confidence in their used-vehicle purchases.

Maus Family Automotive operates four dealerships in the Tampa Bay area, and owner David Maus said the addition of SureSale's quality seal to its MausCare program will help its pre-owned customers make more informed decisions and increase their long-term satisfaction. MausCare is a benefits service that provides added features to enhance and protect each vehicle.

Through the new partnership, each Maus pre-owned vehicle will come with a free SureSale vehicle quality report, which analyzes thousands of data points about each vehicle that the company says provides an informed purchase process. The analysis includes a 170-point inspection, road test, and history check.

“We are thrilled that our customers will enjoy the peace of mind that SureSale provides,” Maus said in a news release.

Rather than only looking at past history, SureSale tells a vehicle's whole story, past and present, Maus said.

“For example, while a vehicle may have a clean history report, its current condition or mechanical state may be far from clean,” Maus said. “That is what makes the SureSale vehicle quality report a better, more comprehensive resource for consumers.”

Maus Nissan of New Port Richey, Maus Nissan of Crystal River, Maus Nissan of North Tampa, and Maus Acura of North Tampa are the four dealerships Maus Family Automotive operates in the Tampa Bay area.

Maus Family Automotive said its dealerships have long had an interest in the pre-owned vehicle category. The company’s pre-owned vehicles come standard with MausCare.

The company said the addition of SureSale to MausCare can ensure their customers have the most positive experience when purchasing a pre-owned vehicle.

A vehicle’s history is important, but a vehicle’s current condition is more important to consumers, SureSale vice president of sales Sean Peoples said.

“Uniquely in our industry, SureSale offers both, helping to increase car buyer confidence,” Peoples said.

Peoples also said, “It is clear that David Maus, and Maus Family Automotive, put their community and customers first, and that helping their customers better understand the value and benefits of their vehicle purchase is a priority. The deep, credible data and transparency about each vehicle that SureSale provides is a perfect complement to this mission.”
