Volvo Selects Carfax for Certified Pre-Owned Program
Centreville, Va. — Volvo Cars of North America renewed its agreement to have Carfax provide vehicle history information for the Volvo Certified Pre-Owned program. Since 1999, certified Volvo dealers have run a Carfax Vehicle History Report on all Volvo cars submitted for certification. Under the new agreement, Volvo and its certified dealers will now provide consumers with a free Carfax Reports for every certified Volvo sold.
“We put our customers in top-quality cars,” said Jon Holl, general manager at Don Beyer Volvo. “For more than 10 years, Carfax Reports have helped reinforce this fact to anyone considering a certified Volvo or any other pre-owned unit on our lot. Carfax is a must-have for our staff and is the name people trust.”
Thirty-seven manufacturer brands use Carfax vehicle history reports for their certified pre-owned programs.
