The link-up, which went live last week, will see Car Passport co-branded by both the RAC and Network Q<\/p>\n<p>RAC Car Passport will be available to over 350 Vauxhall dealers who are part of the brand\u2019s approved used car scheme, although individual dealers will be able to choose whether to use the RAC service or stay with their current provider.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNetwork Q is a perfect fit for us as we already provide all their breakdown cover. We\u2019ve presented the case for RAC Passport to Network Q and as dealers move out of existing contracts they\u2019re coming over to us,\u201d said Robert Diamond, managing director of RAC Motoring Services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery one of the Network Q dealers can now do an RAC Passport history check which is co-branded with both logos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Diamond confirmed that the RAC is talking to other manufacturers about offering its service as part of their approved used car services as well as franchised and independent dealers advertising their stock on the RAC Cars website. All dealers accredited to the RAC\u2019s approved network have also been offered the service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re talking to all of them [manufacturers] and dealers who are feeding stock into RAC Cars. There\u2019s about 7,000 dealers who either supply RAC Cars or are part of our approved network.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRAC Car Passport for dealers marks a departure. It uses exactly the same data sources as other provenance checks and is effectively identical in specification but offers a much lower cost and the high level of credibility of the RAC name,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Network Q has become the first major signing for the <a class=\"moretag btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/network-q-dealers-offer-rac-history-checks\/\">Read More&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3296,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[325,216,264],"class_list":["post-3295","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-news","tag-history-check","tag-network-q","tag-rac"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3295"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3295\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3295"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3295"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.lnetdev.uk\/thevra2026\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
