Use Cartell trade services on your smartphone!

Free for all Cartell trade users

In January 2012, Cartell launched its new mobile site for Cartell trade users. We developed this mobile site so that everyone who has a smartphone can use the service rather than having to download an app and limiting it to iPhone or Androids. You can do everything you would normally do on the main site, the main difference is your account details, reports and process to carry out a check all fit nicely into your smartphone screen. To access the new mobile site, just log onto Cartell.ie on your smartphone browser. Select the ‘Mobile’ display version to access the mobile site and then log in as normal. If you prefer to use the normal site then select the ‘standard’ option. If you have any questions then please contact us here or call 1890 252331.

NMR (National Mileage Register) hits over 6.28 million records!

The Largest Mileage database in Ireland

The NMR or National Mileage Register is Ireland’s largest mileage database and now holds 6,283,652 as of the 21^st March 2012. Cartell launched Ireland’s first Car History Check back in May 2006 and since then we set up the NMR and have been collecting mileages since then. We did this to help prevent the public from potentially buying a ‘clocked’ vehicle. Although others have set up similar databases, you can be rest assured that all our mileages are collected from reliable sources. Errors can be made, especially in 2005 when Ireland changed from Miles to Kilometres, that’s why Cartell carry out a comprehensive mileage investigation when a discrepancy is found. More details on the NMR can be found on www.nmr.ie or www.cartell.ie

Helping you get the most from Cartell Trade!

VRC & NCT Numbers

Customers who wish to verify VRC & NCT Cert Numbers against those listed by the Government for the vehicle are reminded that you don’t need these numbers when you first carry out your car history check. You can verify these subsequently using one of two methods: (1) by phoning Cartell on 1890 252331, or (2) by opening your ‘Previous Checks’ and verify the report by clicking on the Order Number and enter the details to be verified.

Subsequent verification of VRC & NCT Numbers will NOT update original report

For more info, see our help section on Completing my Cartell Check here

Please note neither of these two options outlined above will update the original report purchased. But rather verify if the numbers entered are correct.

Trade Finance Checks

Customers are reminded that finance checks will take a few minutes for the initial result to appear on the computer screen and in the meantime the word “pending” will appear to indicate the system is conducting a search of financial records for the vehicle you designated. As soon as the finance check is complete a PDF will be sent to your email inbox and a free SMS will be sent to your mobile phone. Please remember that Cartell may need to contact the bank to verify a result. You will be advised if this is the case in respect of the vehicle you are checking. Cartell can only contact the financial institutions during designated hours of opening. Please be advised that these hours can vary from one institution to another. (e.g. some institutions do not take phone calls after 15:30).
