Carfax Selected to Provide Vehicle History for Canada's Registrar of Imported Vehicles

FAIRFAX, Va.--May 22, 2006--Carfax today announced that Adminserv Canada L.P., a subsidiary of Livingston International Inc., has selected Carfax as the exclusive vehicle history provider for the Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV) contract it administers on behalf of Transport Canada. Under the terms of the agreement, RIV will consult Carfax vehicle history information as a routine part of the registration process when vehicles are imported from the United States. This important step will help ascertain the validity of the vehicle's U.S. title documents and help RIV identify salvage, flood, and rebuilt vehicles as well as vehicles designated junk, scrap, or parts only.

"The breadth and depth of the Carfax data will play a vital role in helping us to identify significant potential safety concerns with vehicles imported into Canada, thereby offering greater protection to the Canadian motoring public," commented Gary Moriarty, deputy registrar of Adminserv's RIV program. "Carfax is clearly the premier source for vehicle history information."

"We are very pleased to have been selected to deliver this essential component of Canada's vehicle import process," added Larry Gamache, director of communications at Carfax.
