/PRNewswire/ -- Sears Auto Center has teamed with Carfax to
help millions of people take better care of their vehicles. By
joining the myCarfax Service Shop program, all Sears Auto Centers
nationwide now have exclusive access to Carfax information and
resources. Using these free benefits helps Sears Auto Center reduce
the headache of car care, increase member loyalty and bring more
people to Sears Auto Center for service.
To foster repeat visits, Sears Auto Center also is enrolling
customers in the free myCarfax.com service. Customers get
vehicle-specific email and mobile reminders from myCarfax.com that
direct them back to Sears Auto Center when recommended oil changes,
tire rotations and other services are due. Sears Auto Center

Carfax and the myCarfax Service Shop program, we are able to
provide our customers with unrivaled information to help them keep
