Dealerfire - Dealer Website Services Profile and Reviews

I was shopping for a new website host provider. I shopped many providers like BZ results, Dealer.com, among others. We were very pleased with the way Dealerfire handled everything. They offer everything that we needed, plus more! They don't use Flash (a huge plus!), the website is highly SEO driven, a custom-made look, and best of all they take care of everything without using back-end tools (except for online coupons). I must admit, I wasn't comfortable switching to them at first. BZ results and Dealer.com were too expensive for what they offer. Not only did I discover that Dealerfire has better services than BZ and Dealer.com, the price was a much better value! As a matter of fact, Dealerfire was quicker replying to my requests. On top of that, no request seemed unreasonable. I called several dealers that currently use Dealerfire and all of them we are very happy. So, when I made the switch, they immediately started to work on a relatively smooth transition. I am now getting used to rely on their tech support for updates and changes, something I used to do on my own with back-end tools. I finally realized why should I do the heavy weight lifting of using back-end tools when I can rely on a responsive team of specialist to do it for me? I highly recommend them.

The entire staff at Dealer Fire was very professional and detail oriented with the creation of our new website. They meet the needs of Social Media, creativity, layout and design with great speed and flexibility. We were high maintenance with our requests and they were quick to acoommodate. We would highly recommend Eric and his team for your business.

Initially I could tell that Dealerfire was good by how well they setup our website. But only now after I have seen how great they are about changing things for us I can really say that they have been awesome. I recommend them to anyone looking for a boost in their online marketing or sales.

Nothing but Great Service!! Can’t tell you enough of how much were satisfied. I frequently make changes to the site and they get it done fast! The clean site is easy to navigate through and leads are pouring in now along with calls since my switch to DealerFire. My parts requests are up and service has never seen so many appointments coming from out site. Very happy with my decision to go with them to build my site and would recommend them to anyone!!!

I switched to DealerFire soon after I took over as Internet Manager, several years ago. While the custom layouts are good--they can do anything you want, as long as you explain it--the service is absolutely fantastic. I email or call and always get a response quickly. I actually don't mind the fact that you can't manually make changes--they do it for you. I regularly ask them to update my homepage, change graphics, add pages, modify links, etc., and they do it all quickly. I love it.

The best service and support I've ever worked with. So good, in fact, that I recommended them to our other sister stores.

I have been with DealerFire for almost a year now. When I first looked for a website designer I wanted someone who could do it all. (Custom Website Design, SEO, SEM) I wanted a support team that I could call on anytime. Well I got that and more. I would recommend Dealerfire for sure.

I like their designs... they are clean and get the information across... may be at times too much information... but still very clean and corporate... and I like them.. and I work for competition :)... DS/BZ is just crazy overkill or it may just be what the client wanted... I have seen great designs go to s*** once the "input" is in.

Well, I don't know. Sounds like Rob works for ‘a-la DS’. There’s a lot of folks out there pitching a deal to the dealer and in my opinion, DF surpasses most. I've never had a real-time problem and DF has been flying wing with me for several years now. Their heads-up attitude, always keep us compliant with Mazda's image and programs. I make it a point to review other sites often and most of the sites viewed are far less desirable. This field is changing daily and I feel DealerFire is up to the task. Take a closer look and get a greater return. Roger

Just a quick note on these guys. Having worked with Dealerfire in the past, I'll say that their support is absolutely, 100% top-notch, unsurpassed, excellent. I couldn't say enough about how great the support is.

As far as creating a mind-blowing, in your face, ultra-modern, amazing site, I would have to say they fall short. Not that their product is bad, because it's not... it's just not on the level of other companies out there. You also can't do any manual changes via an on-line interface ( a-la dealerskins ), which is annoying. If they can get things moving in this area, while keeping their support, DF will do well.

DEALERIMPACT - Dealer Website Vendor Reviews & Profile

I'm the Internet Director of a large auto group... we left Cobalt about four years ago, and literally spent a year looking into the best company that could provide us with the best in all the dealer Internet marketing services we needed... between the pricing, and the on-going personal support with this company, it is without a doubt on of the best decision we made to date.

Sadly however, great companies like this are getting phased out by ADP giant's subsidiary ‘The Cobalt Group’ which currently provides dealer solutions to more than half of all automotive dealers in the US through ‘partnerships’ with the manufactures who in-turn ‘mandate’ that all their dealers use Cobalt or i.e. lose their link to the manufacturer’s website.  This happened to us with VW, now again with our two stand-alone Hyundai dealerships.

It is such a shame… that Cobalt has to offer compared to what we were able to provide our customers before… is like going from 2012 and returning back to 2003.

If you are a dealer principle/GM/internet director, and you have not yet fallen victim to the Cobalt monopoly (far too big, they completely fail on improving existing products or helping dealerships 'take it to the next level', provide by far worst lead management solution in the industry called LMCC) ...I highly recommend you get in touch with Dealer Impact founder Brian Cox who will walk you through all they have to offer ‘personally’… no joke!  (not to mention their design, technical, graphic and customer support staff is unequalled). You think you’ll have that with any other company?  Keep dreaming…   Whatever you want… this company will go out of their way to help you to make it a reality.

These guys are a joke (or should I say this one girl is a joke?) They are nothing more than a reseller of Dealer Peak CRM and rackspace hosting. And they back that bouquet of B.S. up with a support level of close to zero. Not absolute zero, mind you, as that would take some ingenuity and effort. Just a lousy 2.3 out of 100.

I would like to mimmick Russ Johnson by saying the customer service you receive from Dealer Impact is awesome. They are easy to work with and very user friendly. They created both of my sites for me and I use their SEO, SEM and DMM tool. They have video, virtual notification and great auto follow ups on the DMM. A must have for anyone selling cars on the net. We went from 19 cars to 40 in 6 months and are continuing to grow.

DEALERIMPACT - Dealer Website Vendor Reviews & Profile

Dealer Impact has been our vendor for about four years now and there is not another company out there that works as hard or as smart as these folks. Customer Service is always great, always I can call anytime with any issue and they seem to be glad to hear from you! The technology is perfect for a great looking and yet functional site and the tools in the back of the house system such as the DMM are wonderful tools that I use over my Autobase system everyday. In all the time we have dealt with Dealer Impact we have never had anything but unwavering support from them and I cannot say that about any other vendor we use large or small, I recomend Dealer Impact as often as possible!

Dealer HD - Dealer Website Services Profile and Reviews

Dealer HD is preparing to launch a series of new social networking tools in their next Service Update which takes place on May 31st. High on the list of updates is the use of social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook, Digg, etc. The Automotive web design and SEO firm plans on coaching their car dealer clients across the nation to capitalize on the revenue bringing potential of these new marketing platforms.

One of the most unique features to Dealer HD’s Service Update is Auto Tweet, a product that uses Twitter to announce new inventory and specials automatically. Auto Tweet is built into Dealer HD websites and will automatically tweet car inventory that is added to the dealer’s feed. The relevance of Auto Tweet is paramount in today’s world of social networking. Tweeting car dealer inventory is a great way to expose the vehicles on their lot to anyone with a Twitter account and to those people who are searching Twitter for their products.

Once inventory is on Twitter, it can be viewed on almost any device that has an internet connection. Tweets can be viewed on an iPhone, a Blackberry, via text message, desktop, a browser’s address bar and twitter.com of course.

AutoTweet is free to any Dealer HD client. Dealer HD does major updates to its software every quarter to provide dealers with the freshest content and latest tools in the industry.
