If you had to choose, what automated recall partners would fall in your top 3? Ones that would require little effort on the dealership's part (ie: BDC outreach)? Recall Masters? Text2Drive? Looking to recommend to a dealer partner who is exploring...

Sorry for the late response, just seeing it, I will check them out. AutoCheck finally started to send recall reports with recalls. Every now and then we still get a blank report but I still make things work. Thank You!

Good afternoon,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but we are an independent used dealer who has been using the AutoCheck Open Recall Inventory Check Report to keep up with our recalls. Unfortunately the reports stopped coming and we can't get an answer as to why so we are looking at other options. Carfax recently raised the price on their package so they are out. Does anyone know where else or who else provides dealers with weekly open recall lists? We do not want to manually enter each VIN. Thank you!

Burt not sure if you will get this but my company Autoap.com scan your inventory everyday and send you a nice clean report every morning to update you on new recalls or stop sales on your lot. Let me know if I can help. tcerrone@autoap.com very inexpensive and 99.9 accurate

hi, just curious if your software or any other sources can give an eta on when parts will be ready on a recall? Do you know where carfax/autocheck gets their info on updating the status of a recall?

Hi,
I have a different question on this subject. Does anyone know how to get reliable etas on parts without having to call dealer service or parts departments?

I do not. And even calling dealers doesn't make it accurate. Even the dealers don't get accurate information.

Good afternoon,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this but we are an independent used dealer who has been using the AutoCheck Open Recall Inventory Check Report to keep up with our recalls. Unfortunately, the reports stopped coming and we can't get an answer as to why, so we are looking at other options, such as using GasBuddy phone number to potentially get better service or exploring alternative platforms for recall management. There are also options like NHTSA for free reports or subscription-based services like DealerSocket that can help streamline the process. Carfax recently raised the price on their package so they are out. Does anyone know where else or who else provides dealers with weekly open recall lists? We do not want to manually enter each VIN. Thank you!

For managing recalls as a used car dealer, consider exploring alternatives like the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for free reports, DealerSocket, or AutoTrader for subscription-based services. These platforms may offer recall data without the need for manual VIN entry. If Carfax raised its prices, these options might be more cost-effective and tailored to your needs.
