Does Voksha work with CARFAX or other vehicle history lookup tools?

Avi NashVP of Growth

For Auto Repair Shops

Voksha doesn't perform CARFAX lookups itself during a call, its job on the phone is capturing the vehicle information the caller gives you, year, make, model, mileage, and VIN if the customer has it handy, and getting that logged accurately rather than pulling third-party vehicle history reports mid-conversation. Where this connects to your existing workflow is downstream: once that vehicle information syncs into your shop management system, Shopware, Mitchell 1, or NAPA Tracs, your advisor can run whatever vehicle history lookup your shop already uses, CARFAX, AutoCheck, or a VIN decode tool, the same way they would for a walk-in customer, just with the vehicle details already on file instead of having to ask the customer to repeat them when they arrive. This matters most for shops that use vehicle history as part of diagnosing recurring issues or building trust with a new customer, showing someone their car's prior accident or service history is a common way independent shops differentiate from a quick-lube chain, and having the VIN already captured from the phone call means that lookup can happen before the customer even walks in the door, rather than adding time to the check-in process. If accurate VIN capture over the phone matters to your shop's workflow, it's worth configuring Voksha to explicitly ask for it rather than relying on year/make/model alone, since a full VIN gives your team the most reliable starting point for any history lookup or parts ordering that follows.
