Schaumburg, Ill. -- Experian Automotive, in cooperation with the National Automobile Dealers Association, has instituted a toll-free number and e-mail address for NADA members to obtain free branded title and other information to check for vehicles damaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.


NADA members concerned that a vehicle might have been damaged by these hurricanes may access these free services by calling (800) 509-5489 or e-mailing stormsupport@experian.com. The nationwide offer provides branded title and dealer-reported damage information on up to 25 vehicles per dealership through the end of the year.

The title information includes whether the title reflects any storm damage, as this information becomes available, and whether the vehicle was titled within the last 12 months in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama or Texas.


Dealers are also encouraged to contact Experian Automotive to register their own vehicles damaged by the storm and subsequent flooding. This dealer-reported information will also be included in the storm check and provided along with the title records.
