DEAL DealerRefresh Exclusive Offer for Winning VDPs

[jackcarlson]

First, thanks to @Jeff Kershner and @Alex Snyder for setting this up, DealerRefresh has been one of the better places to get real feedback and actually connect with dealers.

We've been running Carvia.ai on dealer VDPs and wanted to share a deal here since this seemed like the right place for it.

The short version: we put an Carvia on your VDP that interprets the vehicle from the VIN — trim context, what's actually included, ownership outlook, buyer fit- answering the question "Should I buy this car?" Answers the questions that otherwise send buyers off your page to Google, gpt, Reddit, etc. More time on page, better lead quality, more leads.

You can see it live here: 2017 Chevrolet Cruze LT Alliance OH | Lavery Automotive Sales and Service 1G1BE5SM7H7146334 - scroll below the gallery.

As a deal for this community: 30% off the first year. Lightweight install, no rebuild required.

DM me or drop a reply if you want to talk through it.

Congrats on the launch! Reminds me of the old CarStory and PureCars VDP reports that used to be everywhere.

One piece of advice would be to make sure the AI report isn’t injecting doubt or unnecessary questions into the customer’s mind about a vehicle. I ran into quite a few cases where the report called out known reliability issues with certain engines and even warned about the potential for major upcoming repairs like a turbocharger. That just gives the dealership sales team one more self-inflicted objection to overcome and is probably the fastest way to get taken off a dealer’s website right after being added.

Sure, some customers might potentially come across something like that on their own through a Google search or AI chat. But there’s really no reason to highlight it directly on your dealership’s own VDP. I wouldn’t consider that a lack of transparency either, even Carvana doesn’t highlight things like that. It ends up feeling a little bit like you're the prescription drug commercials that list every possible rare side effect.
