DAYTON, Ohio -

CarLocate.com, the online vehicle search offshoot of Reynolds and Reynolds, unveiled three site upgrades aimed to make shopping easier and more efficient for consumers.

The three upgrades include:

—Quick look vehicle views can enable shoppers to review additional details about a vehicle without navigating away from their current vehicle search results.

—Automaker pages geared to provide a central place for consumers to discover the distinct vehicle offerings of several brands, including Audi, BMW, Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, Hyundai, Subaru, Toyota and more.

—The AutoCheck logo now displays prominently alongside the used-vehicle listing when AutoCheck vehicle history report information is automatically available for review from the selling dealership. This availability is based on settings established by the listing dealership.

Launched in 2009, CarLocate.com was designed to offer dealerships using a Reynolds and Reynolds dealership management system another channel to market their vehicle inventories and provide consumers another avenue for finding the model they want to buy.

“We’ve built CarLocate.com from the ground up to help improve the way consumers shop for a car,” stated Nicole Case, general manager of CarLocate.com.

“These latest enhancements are designed to help put additional vehicle details at car shoppers’ fingertips so that they can more quickly and easily locate the car they want to buy,” Case added.
