IRVINE, Calif. -

Incorporated into a solution that includes a special certified pre-owned vehicle element, Kelley Blue Book is launching a new tool on Tuesday for banks, insurance companies, governmental agencies and dealers. KBB highlighted Quick Values is designed to be a fast and easy solution that can deliver comprehensive new- and used-vehicle values in a unique self-service model.

Available on any device with an Internet connection, company officials explained Quick Values can provide customers with a convenient and realistic picture of the automotive marketplace, supporting critical business and risk-management decisions.  

With Quick Values, users can obtain instant access to the full range of KBB new and used-vehicle values, including industry-relevant information not available on Kbb.com such as Wholesale Lending Value and Auction Value, which are all updated weekly.

Additionally for used vehicles, the company highlighted Quick Values can provide Kelley Blue Book Certified Pre-Owned, Trade-In and Suggested Retail Values. And for new units, Quick Values can offer MSRP, Invoice and Fair Purchase Price — which reports what others are paying for new vehicles this week. KBB pointed out considerations are made for mileage adjustments and optional equipment. 

Furthermore, KBB insisted Quick Values’ Web-based portal can offer affordable and scalable pricing for industry customers with the ability to purchase usage-based credits that are applied to each valuation report generated in the system.

Officials explained users can identify a vehicle by its VIN or year, make and model to obtain relevant, regionalized values for their business. Each valuation report is designed to include every Kelley Blue Book Value available in Quick Values, including Auction Value, without any up-charges. They added the valuation reports are printable and can allow users to type in reference numbers or detailed notes for inclusion in the pricing report. 

KBB added this service also allows for an unlimited number of users per established account, a feature aimed at giving both small and large organizations the flexibility to quickly access Kelley Blue Book Values information.   

“Kelley Blue Book provides timely information based on current market conditions and is backed by its trusted 85-year history. Establishing a site that gives industry customers direct accessibility to this information was a natural step in evolving our product offerings,” explained Justin Yaros, executive vice president of product design and development for Kelley Blue Book.

“Quick Values provides helpful Kelley Blue Book information in an easy-to-use product for real-time business decision support,” Yaros continued. “The product’s quick affordable self-service model scaled to meet any organization’s needs, make it an invaluable tool for our industry partners.”

Quick Values customers can manage their account online, as well as access their purchase history and the 10 most recently viewed valuation reports.
