Adesa, a business unit of KAR Auction Services, Inc. dba KAR Global, has launched new condition report capabilities including the addition of high definition vehicle undercarriage photos on all Adesa condition reports. The launch of this enhanced imagery is aimed at providing buyers with relevant, actionable data to support smart and confident bidding and buying decisions. The images, which launched in mid-April, are now available across the U.S. and Canada.
Undercarriage images are captured using Adesa’s new inspection technology platform – launched earlier this year – that powers high quality and high resolution photos to enhance vehicle condition reports. With this technology, vehicle inspection specialists are able to complete inspections more quickly and accurately – providing better, more consistent information to buyers.
The undercarriage images can be found in the photos section of the condition report. They include left side, right side, rear and front views and allow buyers to better assess a vehicle’s undercarriage for rust, any damaged structural components or leaks as well as exhaust, frame and rocker panel conditions, which may be visible in such photos. And because the images are static, dealers can enlarge the photos using the zoom-in function to see close-up, highly specific undercarriage detail.
