AI for Car Dealerships
Your salespeople spend half their day answering "is it still available?" emails and chasing ghosts. AI handles the qualification, books the test drives, and keeps post-sale customers coming back for service, so your team actually sells cars.
AI Overview
AI automation for car dealerships qualifies web leads in under 60 seconds, books test drives into sales team calendars, and nurtures post-sale customers for service and trade-in. It means enquiries get answered while the buyer is still interested, and sold customers keep hearing from you instead of drifting to the workshop up the road.
The 3 places money is leaving your dealership.
You're paying for leads. You're just not converting them.
Web leads going cold
Customer enquires about a Hilux at 9pm Thursday. Nobody gets back to them until Friday afternoon. They've already driven to the dealer up the road. You just paid $80 for that lead.
Test drive no-shows
Customer books a test drive online. Nobody reminds them. Saturday morning rolls around, they've forgotten, they no-show. Your salesperson wasted an hour preparing the vehicle.
Post-sale silence
You sold the car. You never spoke to them again. First service went to the local mechanic. Three years later they bought their next car somewhere else. A whole customer lifetime gone.
The 4 automations that work harder than any BDC.
Running 24/7. Never taking a lunch break. Never missing a lead.
Lead Qualification Chatbot
Customer asks about a vehicle on your site at 11pm. AI answers immediately, qualifies budget and timing, and books them in, all before your sales manager has finished dinner.
Test Drive Booking
Qualified leads get a booking link straight into the right salesperson's calendar. Confirmation SMS, reminder SMS, and a follow-up if they no-show.
Post-Sale Nurture
Welcome messages, first service reminders, warranty check-ins, and trade-in nudges at the 3-year mark. The customer stays in your ecosystem instead of wandering off.
Service Reminder Sequences
AI watches service intervals on every sold car and sends timely reminders with one-click booking. Service retention climbs without anyone chasing.
