“The Carfax Service Link program is a true benefit for Boston Volvo
Village,” said Brian Fitzpatrick, internet manager at Boston Volvo Village in
Allston, Mass. “The reports provide consistency to our vehicles that were
bought and serviced throughout our dealership. Carfax is a trusted third party
that confirms our service records and gives our customers peace of mind when
buying from our dealership. In addition, we can justify a higher price for the
vehicles that have an extensive service history. There are very few
opportunities like this to increase our net profit without spending a dime.”

Volvo strongly encourages their dealers to participate in the Carfax
Service Link program. Carfax Service Link is a free, value-added feature that
puts a participating dealership’s name on the Carfax Report of each vehicle
they service. Dealership contact information and a Web site link appear
alongside each service record to help dealers retain these vehicles in their
service cycle. More than 5400 dealerships report their service information to
Carfax through the Carfax Service Link program.

“The Carfax Service Link program benefits both our retailers and potential
customers,” said Susan Heusser, VCNA Service Support Manager. “It benefits
our retailers by providing not only free advertising, but also the ability to
retain service business and even add a premium to the selling price of the
used vehicles on their lot. In addition, the customer gains confidence
knowing the vehicle was serviced and maintained at a Volvo retailer.”

Any dealership can join the Carfax Service Link program at no cost. Volvo
and other dealers interested in participating can call (800) 561-5496. For
