DAYTON, Ohio, Oct. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- CarLocate.com (www.carlocate.com) marked the completion of its first year of helping consumers "shop smart" for their next new or used vehicle with a series of enhancements to the site.
Vehicle search results now display additional and more complete featured listings. The Car Research and vehicle detail pages have been enhanced to show similar vehicles, based on search criteria and available vehicles. To help you more quickly and thoroughly search for a vehicle, the maximum search distance has been expanded to nationwide for any make and model.
"CarLocate.com was built from the ground up to help you find the car that best fits with what you want to buy and how you want to buy," said Nicole Case, general manager, CarLocate.com. "These latest enhancements are aimed at helping improve your vehicle search results and putting more car choices at your fingertips so that you can search more quickly and efficiently for your next new or used car."
Over the past year, a steady process of product development, stemming from technology advances and customer feedback, resulted in a number of other enhancements to the site, including:
- A mobile version of CarLocate.com that allows you to search for cars from any Web-enabled mobile device, on any cell phone carrier.
- Green Search that enables you to find an environmentally friendly car quickly and easily by using the Green Search option to find eco-friendly vehicle listings or through the visual "green leaf" symbol that indicates a specific car is eco-friendly.
- CarMatch vehicle finder alerts that help make shopping for your perfect car easier by enabling you to automatically receive an e-mail alert when cars matching your search criteria are added to the site.
- An automotive blog with news and information about cars and car buying.
- The Automotive discussion forum that connects you to other consumers so you can benefit from their insight and experience with cars and vice versa.

With CarLocate.com, our goal is to make your car shopping experience as easy, efficient, and enjoyable as possible.
