cargo

HOLTSVILLE, NY--March 16, 2011: CARCO Group, Inc. (CARCO), a nationally recognized information services company that provides fraud detection and risk mitigation services to businesses, has just announced the release of a free iPhone application that allows mobile access to their CheckThatVin product.

CheckThatVin allows users to research a vehicle's history by using the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System database (NMVTIS). At just $4.99 per iPhone search, the service is inexpensive. It also provides more timely and accurate title, brand, salvage and total information than competitive services.

The service, which is also available to anyone at www.checkthatvin.com, is a valuable resource to consumers in the market for used cars, and for dealers considering bringing a car on their lot at auction, or by trade-in. For ease of use, and to assure accuracy, this free application allows the vehicle's VIN to be read via taking a picture of the barcode, rather than requiring the user to enter the digits manually. Compatible with the last three generations of the iPhone, the application also allows users to archive and email reports easily.

CARCO's President and CEO, James Owens, in announcing the application, noted, "Times have changed, the way consumers buy and research has changed. We need to make it as easy as possible for people to get real-time information to help formulate their vehicle purchasing decisions. We are thrilled to be able to provide an accurate, convenient means to ease the process and provide peace of mind."
