Experian Automotive has enhanced its vehicle data service offerings with Manheim.

In addition to providing auction data to Experian's AutoCheck reporting service, a free vehicle history snapshot will now be offered, giving dealers immediate access to potential vehicle condition issues on manheim.com, including OVE.com and Manheim Simulcast.

The AutoCheck snapshot features a quick and easy view of the potential issues in a vehicle's history, directly from online presale listings, and gives dealers the option to purchase full AutoCheck reports. Having access to this important vehicle history information helps dealers make better decisions in buying the right vehicles at the right value and gives their customers confidence that their inventories are safe and reliable.

"The combination of Manheim's data and AutoCheck's industry-recognized vehicle history reports will give dealers a new level of buying intelligence with quick, easy access to the information they need," said Scott Waldron, president, Experian Automotive. "Working with Manheim allows us to bring a consistent repository of reliable, auction-announced information to used-vehicle dealers."

As part of its renewed relationship with Manheim, Experian's AutoCheck will continue to incorporate Manheim's auction-announced information, such as frame or unibody damage, into its vehicle history reports. This information has been found to be among the most important aspects of a vehicle's history that used-car buyers want to know before making a purchase.

"Manheim is dedicated to providing its customers with the information they need to make smart vehicle purchases," said Nick Peluso, senior vice president of customer management, Manheim. "Building on our existing relationship with Experian Automotive helps ensure that dealers have access to the best information to determine the right vehicles for their inventories."
