Experian Automotive Launches Vehicle History Reporting App
Experian Automotive launched a new app for Android and iPhone devices that provides used-car buyers with access to the company’s vehicle history reports.
SCHAYMBURG, Ill. — Experian Automotive launched AutoCheck Mobile for Consumer, an application that provides used-car buyers with access to AutoCheck vehicle history reports through Android and iPhone devices.
“AutoCheck Mobile for Consumer is another way to provide used-car buyers with convenient access to the same vehicle history reports relied upon by dealers and auction houses nationwide,” said Scott Waldron, president of Experian Automotive. “When consumers go used-car shopping, they typically consider a number of different vehicles before making their final purchase. By making AutoCheck reports available on both leading mobile operating systems, we are ensuring consumers can easily obtain the information they need when they need it most.”
The application can be downloaded at no cost through the Android and Apple app stores. After launching the application and entering one’s AutoCheck account log-in information, users can enter a vehicle identification number (VIN) or use the device’s camera to take a picture of the VIN to access Experian Automotive’s vehicle’s history.
