I'm Angry and Need to GRIPE!
Does something have you down, and in the doldrums? Can't stand the fact that your manufacturer is forcing you to use an inferior product? Maybe a vendor pissed you off with another price increase. It'll be alright. Allow DealerRefresh to be your shoulder to cry on. Sound off and get it off your chest. But still follow the rules.

AutoLeadStar
Atlanta, GA
(216)-242-1320
https://autoleadstar.com/Any auto dealer will tell you: the car buying environment is rapidly changing, especially as more and more of the buying process is done online. In this new environment, it is critical that car dealers are up to speed with the latest tools for identifying, engaging, and converting quality online leads. The digital environment requires the same care and planning that goes into your real world physical showroom. A dealer website that is converting only a fraction of its website traffic into qualified actionable leads will begin to drag behind others who are doing digital better.

Are you my next vendor?
Sometimes we get hounded so much that we stop paying attention to those companies we’ve never heard of. This is a place to give them a moment. Maybe we can figure out if they’re worth a look.
