Companies Extend Decade-Long Partnership, Enhance Vehicle Listings and CRM Efforts
Vehix and Carfax today announced the companies have extended their exclusive partnership, ensuring that Carfax vehicle history links are included with every vehicle listed on Vehix.com.
Vehix and Carfax have worked together for more than 10 years as Vehix has expanded its vehicle search offerings to help auto dealers more effectively market their inventory online.
"We are thrilled to extend our partnership with Carfax," said Chris Satovick, Vice President of Business Development for Vehix. "Deep integration of Carfax vehicle history data helps Vehix shoppers quickly identify the best used vehicles for their needs."
Vehix automatically links Carfax Vehicle History Reports dealers run to their listings and identifies premium Carfax 1-Owner vehicles for online shoppers. Once a visitor selects a vehicle that includes a free Carfax Report, the vehicle details page also includes a brief summary of the vehicle's history. These Carfax highlights inform potential buyers that no major incidents, such as odometer rollback, airbag deployment or damage information, appear on the Carfax Report. Visitors also can click to instantly view the full Carfax Vehicle History Report.
"Online shoppers expect to see Carfax Reports included with any vehicle listing," said Larry Gamache, communications director at Carfax. "Carfax Reports are proven to help cars listed online turn faster and sell for more money."
As part of its CRM enhancements, Vehix generates a response to leads submitted through vehix.com that include a link to the free Carfax Report, when available. This helps ensure that Vehix dealers are giving potential customers the information they need to buy faster and with more confidence.
"We include Carfax Reports with our used vehicle listings because it's the best way to quickly research a vehicle's history," said Marianne Chanda, Director of Business Development at Enterprise Car Sales. "Consistently displaying the Carfax logo on our Vehix listings helps increase interest in our high-quality vehicles."
Future Carfax enhancements on Vehix.com include offering private sellers the ability to include a Carfax Vehicle History Report when they list their vehicle in Vehix's large classifieds section.
