Hi everyone,
I’m looking to get some insight from the community on Car Dealer Technologies that are actually working well right now — especially for independent and small-to-mid-size dealerships.
Specifically curious about real-world experiences with:
A few questions to kick things off:
For transparency, I work with Funnel Gator (lead capture & marketing automation for dealers):

I’m looking to get some insight from the community on Car Dealer Technologies that are actually working well right now — especially for independent and small-to-mid-size dealerships.
Specifically curious about real-world experiences with:
- CRM & ILM (lead handling, follow-ups, automation)
- Chat tools (website chat vs. AI chat)
- Desking solutions
- Email & SMS platforms (deliverability + compliance)
- Phone systems (call tracking, recording, integrations)
A few questions to kick things off:
- What CRM are you currently using, and what do you like/dislike most?
- Are you running all-in-one platforms or mixing best-of-breed tools?
- Any tools you switched away from recently — and why?
- Which tech actually helps close more deals instead of adding complexity?
