Experian Expands Vehicle Data Service Offerings With Manheim

Experian Automotive has enhanced its vehicle data service offerings with Manheim, a provider of vehicle remarketing services. In addition to providing auction data to Experian's AutoCheck reporting service, a free vehicle history snapshot will now be offered, giving dealers immediate access to potential vehicle condition issues, including OVE.com and Manheim Simulcast.

The company said that the AutoCheck snapshot features a quick and easy view of the potential issues in a vehicle's history, directly from online presale listings, and gives dealers the option to purchase full AutoCheck reports. Having access to the vehicle history information helps dealers make better decisions in buying the right vehicles at the right value and gives their customers confidence that their inventories are safe and reliable.

Scott Waldron, president of Experian Automotive, said: The combination of Manheim's data and AutoCheck's industry-recognized vehicle history reports will give dealers a new level of buying intelligence with quick, easy access to the information they need. Working with Manheim allows us to bring a consistent repository of reliable, auction-announced information to used-vehicle dealers.

As part of its renewed relationship with Manheim, Experian's AutoCheck will continue to incorporate Manheim's auction-announced information, such as frame or unibody damage, into its vehicle history reports.

Nick Peluso, senior vice president of customer management at Manheim, said: Manheim is dedicated to providing its customers with the information they need to make smart vehicle purchases. Building on our existing relationship with Experian Automotive helps ensure that dealers have access to the best information to determine the right vehicles for their inventories.
