6 Reasons You Need As-Built Valuation Service
A more complete used vehicle value — automatically.
From those looking to list a vehicle for sale all the way to those wanting to develop an automotive app harnessing vehicle valuation data, accurate valuations can be a deal breaker. Inefficient valuations may miss crucial add/deducts and outdated algorithmic approaches leave valuation “gaps” that drive down the accuracy of the valuation.
By partnering with premiere guide and book companies, we’re able to provide the industry’s first valuation platform that uses feature-level build data to automatically determine the value of each vehicle with key features and equipment — for a single VIN or an entire batch.
The all-new As-Built Valuation Service (ABVS) utilizes ChromeData’s VIN decoding capabilities and build data to precisely describe the total value of the vehicle, including any additional “add/deducts” applied to the vehicle. This automatic process saves you time and ensures accurate valuations that drive your bottom line.
Why your business needs ABVS:
