Sears Auto Center technicians are also able to make service recommendations using myCarfax Service Shop tools such as Carfax Service History Check. And any maintenance work done at Sears Auto Center is included on Carfax Reports as well.

“We are excited to work with Sears Auto Center in delivering more value to their stores and customers,” said Carfax general manager Vern Poyner.

More than 43,000 service shops, including Sears Auto Centers across the country, are currently part of the free myCarfax Service Shop program.

Sears Auto Center recently introduced its DieHard 360º Vehicle Assessment which includes a Carfax Vehicle History Report.
