CARCHEX Named Exclusive Extended Service Protection Provider on Kbb.com

BALTIMORE--CARCHEX, the industry-leading provider for extended service protection and national mobile vehicle inspections, today announced that it has been named the exclusive extended service protection provider for Kelley Blue Book’s Kbb.com. Kelley Blue Book is the leading provider of new and used car information.

CARCHEX is an industry leader, and will be the exclusive extended service protection provider featured on kbb.com, Kelley Blue Book’s top-rated Web site. Visitors searching online for credible car news, reviews, classifieds and automotive loan and insurance information can now explore extended service protection options offered through CARCHEX.

“Our goal is to offer kbb.com site visitors the information they need to make smart car-buying and maintaining decisions and working closely with CARCHEX will provide our site visitors to have access to services that will protect their vehicle investment,” said Damon Bennett, director of business development and partnerships for Kelley Blue Book. “Both Kelley Blue Book and CARCHEX have a common goal of providing information and peace-of-mind to car buyers.”

Kelley Blue Book is the latest in a long list of respected automotive resources that have chosen CARCHEX as the exclusive extended service protection provider, including CARFAX, LendingTree and CarBuyingTips.com. In addition, Pat Goss, America’s trusted mechanic and segment host on TV’s MotorWeek, officially endorsed CARCHEX in March 2009, after searching for an extended service protection provider that would meet his high consumer focused standards. “I am excited to see Kelley Blue Book and others recognize CARCHEX as key players in the industry,” said Pat Goss.

Said CARCHEX CEO Jason Goldsmith, “Given the importance of vehicle protection during tough economic times, we are very proud of the direction we are heading in, especially when aligned with one of the most-recognizable and well-respected brands in the business. The opportunity to work with Kelley Blue Book and be part of their education platform is an honor that CARCHEX will value for years to come.”
