    PR & News iOS 13.4 Beta - Digital Car Key

    I'm guessing this will work with features like Hyundai's Digital Key, which is Android only right now, on the new Sonata.

    Dominion Vision CRM Partnership with CRMSuite is NO LONGER!

    He sent us a "message" through the support chat today welcoming us to CRMSuite and it looks like we're now with their support people instead of Dominion's.

    Dominion Vision CRM Partnership with CRMSuite is NO LONGER!

    It was a slightly odd arrangement with Tier 1 support handled by Dominion employees, but then anything more challenging had to be escalated to CRMSuite, but we weren't able to communicate with them.

    Dominion Vision CRM Partnership with CRMSuite is NO LONGER!

    So I just found out that our dealership's CRM, Dominion CRM, is reverting to being supported by CRMSuite. I knew they were reselling it, but curious what happened.

    Dealer.com Sites are Down!!!

    Our sites didn't seem to have much problem today, but they've sent us a couple of the exact same emails they sent last week. Just got one at 2:59pm.

    Cars.com Requesting Access to Facebook Page

    The initial conversation is handled by their own agents 24/7. If they communicate with the customer and get contact information, then it's sent to you as a lead.

    What do Ron Burgundy and Jalopnik have in common?

    That looks like the photo editor in vAuto, so probably from the dealer.

    Anyone using Dominion CMX?

    We did end up signing up for CMX. It's still in the "early adopter" phase, so I'm not sure if they're offering it to everyone yet. Our dealership has been on Autobase for probably close to twenty years and we've been wanting to upgrade our CRM for a while, so I think they allowed us in based...

    Anyone using Dominion CMX?

    We're doing a demo on Monday, so it should be interesting. As I mentioned before, I'm intrigued to see how the integration works with our existing Office 365 products. Anyone have suggested questions I should ask?

    Anyone using Dominion CMX?

    Our dealership is still using the old Autobase (now Dominion Sales Center) system for CRM and WebControl for ILM. Clearly I'd like to get us on one system (and off having an Autobase server!). Has anyone used/seen the new Microsoft-based Dominion CMX CRM? Part of my interest is in that we...

    Dealers flooding review sites with fake user reviews

    To me it looks like they saw that their first four reviews were one star, and wanted to find a way to cancel them out. They took these from comment cards or solicited surveys from their service department, and the dealership employees went and entered them in Cars.com. But it seems pretty...

    7 Reasons to Stop Emailing Your Pricing

    While I agree in theory with some of the statements in there, I think if you don't provide pricing, and especially if you haven't been able to reach them by phone, you've provided no value whatsoever to the customer. Many of our internet prospects are surprised when we reach them by phone and...

    Anyone using/used LEMACOM online marketing program?

    I've been contacted quite a few times by LEMACOM regarding their Customer Acquisition Program to market used inventory and track user activity. They claim to be having "phenomenal" results for their dealers. Can anyone tell me anything about these folks? Thanks!

    Dealers flooding review sites with fake user reviews

    I agree that a lot of Google Places reviews are weak, but what is a dealer that's not in a major metro area to do? It seems that we get very little traffic to sites like Yelp, etc. I know many customers are finding us on Google, so do we still worry about all the other potential review sites...

    vAuto and AutoTrader.com

    Hmmm... Not sure how I feel about that!?

    Avv Web Control - Any Reviews?

    I had to leave Dealer.com and their LeadMachine tool, and I'm switching to AVV. First impression is good. Seems like a very versatile system. Hopefully more good feelings about the switch to come!

    Toyota stop-sale order issued

    We've been told that parts would become available in 10-14 days. I'm a little confused because the press release mentions the Camry Hybrid is not involved, but the official instructions say nothing about that.

    Toyota stop-sale order issued

    Still trying to wrap my head around the situation! Do we take vehicles off the website or not? What do we say to customers? Do we put something on the front page of our site addressing the situation? So much to consider!

    Autotrader - Good, but $800-900/sale good????

    I have similar thoughts. Now we, prompted by the pre-owned manager, are looking at changing to the Premium from Featured plan so that we appear in that first group of search results. For 167% more per month we can have one brand of used cars show in that group, or for 233% more, both of our...
