CARFAX Shop Loyalty Program

What is CARFAX Shop Loyalty?

CARFAX Shop Loyalty is a CARFAX program for auto repair shops in the United States and Canada. Share your customer list with CARFAX, and CARFAX runs service reminders and loyalty offers on your behalf to bring customers back to your shop. In AutoSoftWay you enroll with one click.

How it works

One click to enroll — then it runs in the background

No IDs to look up and no files to upload.

Step 1

Enroll in one click

Setup → Integrations → CARFAX Shop Loyalty → Enroll. Nothing to type in.

Step 2

Your 24-month history

Your customers from the last 24 months of invoiced jobs go to CARFAX in the first file.

Step 3

Daily updates

New customer and service records are prepared every night. Switch the daily feed off anytime.

Step 4

CARFAX reaches out

CARFAX uses the list for service reminders and loyalty offers on your behalf.

What Is Shared

Exactly what CARFAX receives — and what it doesn’t

For each customer and vehicle: first and last name, email, cell phone, ZIP or postal code, the VIN, the invoice date, and whether the job was a service or a vehicle sale. No street address is sent.

You Choose the Jobs
Only invoiced jobs with the Sync to Carfax switch on are included — switch it off on any order.
Unsubscribes Respected
Customers who unsubscribed from your emails or replied STOP to texts are marked as not opted in, so CARFAX knows not to contact them that way.
Vehicle Sales
Sell cars too? Turn on “We also sell vehicles” and mark sales as new or used, so they are reported as sales, not service.

Three CARFAX features — use any combination

Shop Loyalty is separate from the other CARFAX features. You can use either one, both or neither.

Lookup

Vehicle history reports

Run a CARFAX report from the order: service history, reported accidents, odometer readings and ownership records.

Reporting

Service-history reporting

Share completed repairs with CARFAX so they appear on the vehicle’s CARFAX history.

Loyalty

CARFAX Shop Loyalty

Share your customer list so CARFAX can run service reminders and loyalty offers for your shop.

Control

One switch per order

The same Sync to Carfax switch decides which jobs are shared with CARFAX.

Vehicle History Reports

Already using CARFAX reports? Shop Loyalty adds to them

The CARFAX tab on every order runs a vehicle history report from the VIN. Shop Loyalty doesn’t change it — it adds CARFAX’s reminders and loyalty offers for your customers.

FAQ

CARFAX Shop Loyalty — your questions answered

What is CARFAX Shop Loyalty?

CARFAX Shop Loyalty is a CARFAX program for auto repair shops. You share your customer list with CARFAX so CARFAX can run service reminders and loyalty offers on your behalf, helping bring your customers back to your shop.

How do I enroll from AutoSoftWay?

Go to Setup → Integrations → CARFAX Shop Loyalty and click Enroll. There are no IDs to look up or type in. The program is available to shops in the United States and Canada.

What customer information is shared with CARFAX?

For each customer and vehicle: first and last name, email, cell phone, ZIP or postal code, the VIN, the invoice date, and whether the job was a service or a vehicle sale. No street address is sent.

Which jobs are included?

Invoiced jobs with a valid VIN from the last 24 months in the first file, then new customer and service records each day. Only jobs with the Carfax Sync switch on are included — switch it off on any order you want to leave out.

What about customers who unsubscribed?

Customers who unsubscribed from your emails, or replied STOP to your text messages, are marked as not opted in for that channel, so CARFAX knows not to email or text them.

Can I stop sending?

Yes. The daily feed can be switched off on the CARFAX Shop Loyalty card in Setup → Integrations at any time.

Does it cost anything?

There is no AutoSoftWay add-on for it. CARFAX runs the program and sets its own pricing: new shops currently receive 6 months free, then a monthly subscription based on shop volume. The current terms are shown on the CARFAX Shop Loyalty card in your account.

How is it different from CARFAX service-history reporting?

Service-history reporting shares your completed repairs with CARFAX so they appear on the vehicle’s CARFAX history. Shop Loyalty is a separate customer-list feed for CARFAX’s reminders and loyalty offers. You can use either one, both or neither.
