Emkay Launches Industry-First Maintenance History Available to Auctions and Wholesale Dealers through Internet Site

ARTICLE TOOLS        | E-MailPrint

ITASCA, IL – EMKAY, Inc., a nationwide full-service fleet leasing and management company, has launched an online tool for auctions/wholesale dealers to view Web-based vehicle maintenance history.

“Our innovative technology solution is available through an Internet site for all auctions/wholesale dealers,” said Dave Nagy, Emkay VP Fleet Assets. “Vehicles on our maintenance management program display Web site stickers on the windshield along with having a preprinted hardcopy of the maintenance history attached to the vehicle at time of sale. Our new service is provided free of charge for all our customers. Industry data indicates that the sale price of a maintenance program unit will lift the sold price by over $250.”

Also, vehicles going through the auction lanes that were a part of Emkay’s maintenance program can have their entire service history shown with the click of a button. By entering a vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number, site users/buyers can search for any vehicle and see for themselves important maintenance information that should help make the used-car buying decision easier.

Users/dealers can search vehicle auctions if they are looking for Emkay vehicles, but do not know the VIN. To view a list of all vehicle auctions, click on a dropdown menu for an alphabetical list. Users can click on the specific auction (i.e., in a given city) they would like to see. After selecting the desired auction(s) they are planning to buy from, a list of Emkay vehicles are displayed enabling the view of the maintenance history report.

The Hidden Cost of Personal Use

By Mike Antich
With fuel prices remaining elevated, many companies are wondering whether they are charging enough for personal use. At some companies, this discussion is long overdue. When re-evaluating personal use charges, a common mistake is to focus solely on the cost of fuel, which is understandable because, after all, fuel is the catalyst for these discussions. However, doing so ignores the other “hidden” costs of personal use, which have also risen.

Fleet Becomes an Epicenter for Interdepartmental Encroachment

By Mike Antich
Interdepartmental conflicts are common in the medical and IT industries, and at most companies between sales and operations. However, for many years, fleet existed as a realm of its own. Management in other departments often didn’t fully understand the nuances of fleet management other than they got a new vehicle every 36 months. Fleet managers of that era (not that long ago) were the “kings” and “queens” of their own realms. However, that reality is rapidly changing.
