When it comes to having a dealers license, a vehicle diagnostic scanner can be a potential lifesaver. A vehicle diagnostic scanner is a computerized tool that retrieves information from a vehicle's electronic control modules, which in turn can help you diagnose and repair potential problems before they occur. Scanners are also great for troubleshooting intermittent issues with a vehicle. With so many dealers investing in a vehicle diagnostic scanner, it’s no surprise that this is one of the fastest growing technologies. If you haven’t already made the switch to a scanner.

Vehicle History Reports-CARFAX vs AutoCheck vs NMVTIS. Which is Best for Your Dealership? 25:54

34 weeks之前25:54

25:54

A Vehicle History Report (VHR) is a detailed document that provides information about the history of a specific vehicle. Carfax is perhaps the most well-known vehicle history report provider. It aggregates data from thousands of sources, including state DMVs, auto auctions, repair shops, and insurance companies. Carfax reports are comprehensive and widely trusted by consumers and dealers alike. Key Features: Accident History: Provides detailed information about reported accidents and damage. Service Records: Lists maintenance and service history if available. Title Information: Checks for title issues like salvaged or rebuilt titles. Ownership History: Shows the number of previous owners. Odometer Readings: Verifies mileage to detect odometer rollback. Owned by Experian, AutoCheck offers vehicle history reports similar to Carfax but may access different databases and emphasize different aspects of a vehicle’s history. AutoCheck is a service that specializes in compiling and presenting comprehensive Vehicle History Reports. AutoCheck reports draw data from multiple sources, including government agencies, insurance companies, dealer auctions, and service facilities. One thing that separates AutoCheck form other Vehicle History Report Providers is that it complies more data directly from dealer auctions. So it compiles more data about how many times a specific vehicle has been sold wholesale, you might find a specific vehicle has changed hands from a multitude of dealers and that could be a buy you might want to avoid. Score: Provides a score based on the vehicle's history, helping dealers quickly assess its condition. Auction Data: Includes information from public auctions, dealer auctions, and other wholesale transactions. Accident Data: Analyzes reported accidents and damage. Odometer Check: Verifies mileage discrepancies. National Motor Vehicle Title Information System Established under the Anti Car Theft Act of 1992, its creation was in response to increasing concerns over vehicle theft and fraud across the United States. Prior to its establishment, there was no centralized system to effectively track vehicle titles and histories nationwide. This lack of transparency made it easier for criminals to alter or counterfeit vehicle titles, which led to selling stolen vehicles or vehicles that have had their odometers fraudulently altered. The Anti Car Theft Act of 1992 laid the groundwork for NMVTIS, mandating the creation of a national title database This National Title database would provide crucial vehicle history information to various stakeholders, including law enforcement agencies, consumers, and businesses involved in the sale and purchase of vehicles. Key Features: Title Information: Verifies the current state of title and any previous brands (e.g., salvage, rebuilt). Odometer Readings: Checks for odometer discrepancies reported to NMVTIS. Theft Check: Indicates if the vehicle has been reported stolen.
