Complaint resolution service publishes case studies, recall information and consumer news.

Carfax has been named the vehicle history provider of choice by Cadillac and Hummer for the brands’ respective Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) programs. Cadillac and Hummer now require all their dealers to run a Carfax Vehicle History Report on any vehicle submitted for certification. Used car shoppers interested in purchasing a Certified Cadillac or Hummer will receive the full Carfax Vehicle History Report for free.

“A survey by BusinessWeek just found Cadillac’s customer service performance to be the best in the entire auto industry. This is another building block in our quest to offer an outstanding purchasing experience,” said Jim Taylor, Cadillac General Manager.

Both Cadillac and Hummer offer 6-year/100,000 mile warranties on all CPO vehicles, which also will come with the industry-leading Carfax Buyback Guarantee.
