Questions auto dealers ask
Where does an independent dealership lose the most money to missed follow-up?
Two leaks every independent lot has: a quarter of calls go unanswered, and the DMS is full of owners sitting in equity that nobody has contacted. Both are fixable in under a month.
Can AI answer the phone for a dealership?
Callii, the voice receptionist we have shipped, answers calls in real time, books appointments onto a calendar, captures every lead and hands off to a person when a caller needs one. Our auto dealer assessment includes a 24/7 voice and text agent for sales and service overflow.
Do we need to change our DMS?
Our dealer assessment describes independent lots that usually run DealerCenter or Frazer, and the plan adds plain-language reporting over the DMS you have.
Are the dollar figures a promise?
No. They are conservative, illustrative estimates for the representative business described on this page. Actual results vary and are confirmed in your own Recaptured Value Assessment.
What does it cost, and are there contracts?
Engineering is on a membership from $495 a month. There are no contracts, you can cancel any time, and everything we build keeps running if you cancel.
