MONTREAL, July 10, 2014 /CNW Telbec/ - National National Bank Insurance Auto | Home, the AutoGO.ca team and Adviso Conseil Inc. are delighted to launch a theft frequency estimator for used cars. This new tool unique to Quebec is aimed at consumers looking to buy a used car and is available online at AutoGO.ca.

The theft frequency estimator for used cars is a gauge that displays in a user-friendly way the national car theft rate based on data from the Insurance Bureau of Canada. The estimator enables consumers to see at a glance if the desired model is one of the most frequently stolen cars in Canada. This is important information that all drivers should consider when shopping for a vehicle. "Damage, such as theft, generally impacts the insured's premium. The theft frequency estimator gives consumers an additional tool to assist them in making well-informed decisions when managing their insurance budget. We are proud to help them with this," explained Dominic Caron, Marketing Manager at National Bank Insurance Auto | Home.

AutoGO.ca specializes in providing as much practical information as possible to make buying new or used cars easier. "We are pleased to offer this tool to our website users. This type of information supplements the test drive ratings and practical advice that our team of experts makes available to the public," highlighted Marc Bouchard, Editor in Chief at AutoGO.ca.

The estimator's simple design enables consumers to read it quickly and easily. "The theft frequency estimator for used cars makes it easier for prospective buyers to do their research by grouping relevant information in one place that can be accessed in a single click," explained Simon Lamarche, Partner at Adviso Conseil Inc.
