Automotive

Sell more cars by never losing a lead.

AI that calls back every dealership lead in seconds, books test drives automatically, and keeps your service workshop full, without adding to your headcount.

The Problem

Car buyers contact three dealers. The fastest one wins.

Automotive leads have a half-life measured in minutes. A buyer who submits an enquiry is actively comparing options, and the first dealer to reach them has a dramatic advantage over everyone who follows. Most dealerships respond in hours. The ones that grow respond in seconds.

The Solution

AI that responds before the tab is even closed.

Our Automotive AI calls back every lead within 30 seconds, qualifies budget and model preference, answers stock questions from your live inventory, and books test drives directly, handing salespeople a warm, pre-qualified appointment rather than a cold name on a list.

What it does

From first enquiry to signed order.

Instant Lead Response

Calls back every web, chat, and AutoTrader lead within seconds, while the buyer still has your listing open.

Test Drive Booking

Qualifies the buyer's timeline and preferred model, then locks a test drive directly into the salesperson's calendar.

Trade-In Capture

Collects vehicle details, mileage, and condition over the phone to prepare a preliminary appraisal before the visit.

Finance Pre-Qualification

Gathers credit background and budget range so the finance manager starts the conversation with the right products.

Service Reminders

Proactively reaches out to customers due for a service, MOT, or tyre change, filling the workshop before the diary empties.

Post-Sale Follow-Up

Checks in after delivery, requests Google reviews, and surfaces upsell opportunities at the right moment.

How it works

Selling more in three straightforward steps.

01

Connect Your Leads

Plug in your DMS, AutoTrader feed, or website enquiry forms. The AI responds to every lead the moment it lands.

02

Configure Your Inventory

Share your live stock list so the AI can discuss available models, trims, and pricing during the first conversation.

03

Fill Your Forecourt

Watch qualified test drive appointments arrive in your salespeople's calendars without a single cold-call made by hand.

Where it shows up

Two situations where the AI earns its keep.

The weekend enquiry

The problem

A buyer sends an enquiry on Saturday evening after seeing your listing on AutoTrader. Your sales team is off until Monday. By then, three other dealers have already called.

How it plays out

The AI calls back within 30 seconds, qualifies the buyer's timeline and budget, answers questions about the specific vehicle, and books a Monday morning test drive before your competitor's sales team starts the week.

The service gap

The problem

Your workshop runs full in the near term, but two months out the diary is sparse. Chasing customers for routine services is nobody's favourite task, so it doesn't get done.

How it plays out

The AI identifies customers due for a service, MOT, or seasonal check and works through them systematically, filling gaps weeks in advance without a member of staff picking up the phone.

Who this is for

Dealers who compete on speed and consistency.

  • Franchised and independent car dealerships managing multiple inbound lead sources simultaneously.
  • Dealer groups that want consistent first-response quality across every site and brand.
  • Aftersales and service departments looking to fill workshop slots proactively rather than reactively.

The full picture

The lead that goes cold in fifteen minutes.

Automotive is one of the highest-consideration purchases a person makes, and yet the industry still loses a significant share of its best leads to response lag. A buyer who submits an enquiry at midday on a Tuesday is in active shopping mode. By the time a salesperson calls back two hours later, that buyer has already visited two showrooms.

The weekend is worse. Enquiries that arrive on Saturday evening sit until Monday morning in most dealerships. A 36-hour response window in a market where competitors can respond in 30 seconds is not a gap: it is a write-off.

The AI covers both sales and aftersales. For sales, it responds to every inbound lead immediately, qualifies the buyer's model preference, timeline, and trade-in situation, then routes qualified appointments directly into the right salesperson's diary. For service, it works the customer database proactively: identifying vehicles due for a service, MOT, or recall, and converting them into booked workshop slots before the diary goes quiet.

GoHighLevel connects as part of the standard build. Dealer Management Systems and automotive CRMs connect as an add-on, so appointments land where your team already works rather than in a second place nobody checks. Voice covers inbound calls; SMS and WhatsApp are the first-response channels of choice for web leads, where a buyer who ignores an unknown number will often reply to a text within minutes.
