More than 95% of all new vehicles built today have automatic transmissions. Now vehicle history reports have automatic transmissions, too. Each night, AutoCheck Express can automatically and securely create a full VHR for each newly added Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) by accessing the dealer's management system. The next day an e-mail is waiting, inviting the dealer to view the reports, print them out and place them in the deal jacket of every used vehicle. Dealers may also run individual VHRs any time, such as during the trade-in appraisal process

AutoCheck Express is a product of an alliance between Experian Automotive and ADP Dealer Services.

The more information consumers have about their potential purchase, the more confident they feel, said Tony Cosimi, sales manager for Honda of Ottawa, in Ottawa, Illinois. I also know the histories of vehicles brought in for trade-ins, which protects me. AutoCheck Express gives my buyers and me the information and the confidence, in a form that's simple to use. All I do every morning is access the reports and print. I have tried other methods and AutoCheck Express is the best solution I have found.

Dealer groups and franchises have told us that the days of exception-based vehicle history reporting are over, said Andrew Sheehan, senior vice president of Marketing for Experian Automotive, a leading provider of key vehicle history information to the automotive industry. The AutoCheck Express subscription service is automatic, affordable and builtin for every vehicle on the dealer's lot. The rapid adoption of AutoCheck Express is a clear indicator that dealers value this next generation of vehicle history reporting.

Experian's National Vehicle Database, is the world's largest relational automotive database, and houses information on more than 425 million vehicles. By using the AutoCheck Express service, automobile dealerships have a written report from a reliable source that contains important historical information. This information includes a vehicle's title, registration and usage history as well as findings that may signal potential problems with the vehicle's title or title brand such as salvage or junk vehicles, or vehicles registered as rentals, taxis or in fleets. AutoCheck Express provides automotive customers with the information they need to make better decisions.

Experian Automotive will be demonstrating AutoCheck Express at the NIADA Convention and Expo 2003 in Booth #1500. Be sure and stop by.
