Experian Automotive, an automotive information provider and Warrantybynet, an online provider of direct-to-the-consumer extended automobile warranties for over 50 different makes of new and pre-owned vehicles, have announced they have extended their business relationship.

Experian's AutoCheck, available at the Web site, www.autocheck.com, is an in-depth vehicle history service, says the company. AutoCheck searches through Experian's National Vehicle Database, a relational automotive database comprised of more than 425 million vehicles gathered from both public and proprietary sources and provides both consumers and dealers with information about hidden problems that can impact a vehicle's safety and value. AutoCheck says it ensures consumers that a vehicle was not previously stolen, salvaged; damaged in flood, hail storm, accident or fire; used as anything other than a passenger car; had its odometer rolled back; or more than a dozen other brand and title issues.

"AutoCheck by Experian Automotive, provides car buyers with valuable historic information containing title, registration and usage records," said Andrew Sheehan, senior vice president of Marketing for Experian Automotive. "When an AutoCheck report is coupled with a Warrantybynet protection plan, the customer is ensuring they not only know the full story of the vehicle's past, but are also secure about its future."

Once assured that the vehicle they're buying is as good as it seems, buyers tap Warrantybynet for a free quote on an extended warranty designed specifically to their needs, effectively protecting their investment for years to come, says the company.

"We take great pride in the high-caliber extended warranties we offer, and choose to partner with equally impressive companies. We are pleased to continue our relationship with Experian Automotive, and hope to see it thrive for years to come," said Evan Gartenberg, director of Business Development at Warrantybynet.

Serving several hundred thousand customers, Warrantybynet is the Internet marketing arm of Automobile Protection Plan, Inc., an offline provider of extended warranty programs since 1994. The company has strategic partnerships with AutoTrader.com, Kelley Blue Book Co, Inc. and Cars.com, among others.
