For immediate release
Red Book Values for Vehicles no Longer Available by Telephone at Access PEI sites
Development and Technology
Access PEI sites across the province will no longer provide Red Book values for vehicles over the telephone. Concerns about the staff time required prompted the decision. It costs Access PEI about $15,000 a year in staff time to offer the service.
Prince Edward Island is the only jurisdiction in Canada where this service was provided.
Copies of the Red Book will continue to be available at Access PEI sites for customers to use on their own. People can also contact the Canadian Red Book Company at (905) 469-6468. The company will provide vehicle values at a cost of approximately $8.00 per inquiry. The company also offers the Red Book for purchase at a cost of approximately $12.00 a copy.
Access PEI provides Islanders with over 200 government services at eight locations across PEI.
