From ad to sold

Watch one ad become a sold truck.

One example journey, start to finish.

  1. Your ad goes live.

    A 2021 Silverado with its listed price and a Send message button.

  2. A shopper taps Send message.

    Messenger opens with the question shoppers ask first.

  3. DAS answers within a minute, as Sara.

    Day or night, with one question to keep the chat moving.

  4. DAS learns what he needs.

    The trade-in comes up, and the team looks at it in person.

  5. The visit is booked.

    A day and a time, and the visit lands on the store calendar.

  6. Your rep gets the briefing.

    A notification and a task card, before the customer arrives.

  7. Reminders go out.

    A text the day before and another an hour before.

  8. Your team sells the truck.

    The rep marks the visit and the deal, and DAS says thank you.

    No-show? DAS texts to rebook.

The terms

No setup fees. AI follow-up has a 90-day minimum, the same 90 days the guarantee covers. Advertising on its own is month to month, with 30 days' notice. Your quote comes on the demo.

Your part

Tell us how your store works and send your legal name and tax ID for texting registration. We connect your lead sources and do the rest.

Who it is for

Dealers with 50 or more leads a month, with the owner or GM on the demo.

How many

We set up 5 new stores a month. The next setup group starts on the 1st or the 15th.

What happens next

  1. The demo: DAS working leads like yours, and your quote.
  2. Your setup group starts on the 1st or the 15th.
  3. We build it around your store and check it with you before it goes live.
  4. Live on Facebook, Instagram and website chat within 14 days of getting your access.
  5. Your 90 days start the day the assistant goes live. On packages with texting, that is when the carriers approve your texting.

One written promise. If we miss it, we keep working your leads free.

90days

Performance guarantee

5 qualified appointments in your first 90 days, or we keep working your leads free until you have them, for up to 90 more days.

It applies from 100 new leads a month, counted as people, never messages, or when we also run your ads.

What counts as a qualified appointment
  • The assistant booked it onto your calendar for a specific day and time, as a visit or a phone appointment
  • The customer told us the vehicle or type of vehicle they want and that they intend to buy or finance
  • The customer confirmed the time

The 90 days start when DAS goes live, not at signup. Facebook, Instagram and website chat go live first; on packages with texting, the clock starts once the carriers approve your texting.

Questions dealers ask.

What does Dealer Ad Solutions cost?

Dealer Ad Solutions does not publish prices: every store gets its own quote for AI follow-up, advertising or both, with the plan sized to the store's monthly lead volume and ad spend. There are no setup fees. AI follow-up has a 90-day minimum, advertising on its own is month to month, and the top ad packages take no share of ad spend. See if you qualify, and you get your quote on the free demo.

Does the AI assistant quote prices or financing?

The assistant can share the listed website price of a vehicle it found in your inventory. It is built never to quote payments, rates, approvals, trade values or out-the-door numbers; a reply that tries is held back and handed to your team.

What if the AI says something wrong to a customer?

The assistant is built never to quote payments, rates, approvals, trade values or out-the-door numbers, and a reply that tries is held back and handed to your team. Once your inventory feed is connected, it checks your current inventory before it mentions a vehicle, and it tells a customer plainly that it is the dealership's digital assistant whenever they ask. Before it goes live, we check it against real leads with you. Your team can leave it a note, pause it or take over any conversation at any moment. We cannot promise any system never gets a line wrong, which is why every reply is checked before it goes out and your team can pause the assistant at any moment.

Is AI texting compliant?

Every store's texting is registered with the mobile carriers before it goes live. The assistant tells customers it is a digital assistant whenever they ask. A customer who sends STOP, by text or on Messenger, Instagram or web chat, gets one confirmation and no more automated messages until they text START again. Payments, rates, approvals and trade values go to your team. Getting your leads' consent to be texted stays your dealership's job.

Can AI lead follow-up work next to our BDC?

AI lead follow-up can work next to an existing BDC. The assistant takes the first reply, nights and weekends, and months of follow-up, then hands customers who are ready to your BDC with a briefing. Your BDC keeps the phones and the conversations that need a person. Your team can leave the assistant a note, pause it or take over any conversation at any moment.

What if our leads are low quality?

The assistant works every lead the same way, whatever its quality: it answers every message within a minute, asks what they want, their timing and their trade, and offers a visit to the ones who are ready. The rest keep getting follow-up for up to 8 months, until they book or ask to stop, so your team spends its time on customers who replied. The assistant cannot make a lead want a vehicle.

What does our dealership have to do during setup?

During setup, your dealership tells us how the store works and sends its legal name and tax ID for texting registration. We connect your lead sources, set up your calendar, build and test the rest, train your team, and check the assistant against real leads with you before it goes live. Facebook, Instagram and website chat go live first, while texting registration is approved.

What is the 90-day guarantee?

The 90-day guarantee: 5 qualified appointments in your first 90 days, or we keep working your leads free until you have them, for up to 90 more days. It applies to every AI follow-up package. Conditions apply, including at least 100 new leads every 30 days unless we also run your ads; every condition is listed on the guarantee page. Here 100 new leads means 100 new people: a message is never a lead, and spam, duplicates, wrong numbers and someone who opts out on their first message do not count.

Do we have to replace our current CRM?

You can keep your current CRM if your team likes it. The assistant answers and books from its own account, and we set up how leads, notes and appointments reach your team. If you would rather run everything in one place, we help you move your contacts over.

What is AI lead follow-up for car dealerships?

AI lead follow-up for car dealerships is an AI assistant that works your dealership's leads for you. It answers every message within a minute, day or night, texts every new lead within minutes during texting hours, qualifies the customer, keeps following up for up to 8 months, and books the appointment onto your calendar. Dealer Ad Solutions sets it up, trains it on your store and keeps it running.

Stop paying for leads nobody answers.
