CARFAX

Shop Manager includes a CARFAX integration, which provides a vehicle plate to VIN decoder. You can enter in the plate of the vehicle and CARFAX will return the VIN registered to that vehicle. Taking the VIN information, CARFAX can automatically decode it, retrieve the vehicle information and populate the field in the Vehicle popup window. This feature offers faster and more accurate entry of the vehicle information.
