ShopSmartAutos.com Teams with Cox Automotive to Give Vehicle Values and Online Credit Options to Dealers

Teaming with Cox brand, Kelley Blue Book, ShopSmartAutos.com will feature trusted Kelley Blue Book® Values on its listings. With more than 90 years of experience, car buyers and sellers rely on Kelley Blue Book for pricing in their area. As a result, ShopSmartAutos.com consumers can do their online research, find the vehicle they are looking for and reduce the time spent on their purchase journey. ShopSmartAutos.com online inventory directs consumers to their local dealer, or national delivery system.

Once the consumer finds the vehicle, ShopSmartAutos.com’s integration with Cox brand Dealertrack’s Finance Driver allows the consumer to submit an online credit application from the vehicle listing, which helps set realistic expectations for both consumer and dealer.

“The timing for this relationship is perfect, as we believe more and more consumers will rely on ShopSmartAutos.com to find their new or pre-owned car, truck or van,” said ShopSmartAutos.com founder, Richie Bello. “Having access to Cox Automotive’s solutions, gives dealers looking for lead generation from ShopSmartAutos.com direct links to improve dealer efficiency and customer satisfaction. Consumers currently spend 85% of their car shopping experience online. ShopSmartAutos.com looks to provide all the tools necessary to help consumers make the decision to buy and help dealers close the sale.”

ShopSmartAutos.com has developed its search engine to accommodate more than 6 million vehicles, allowing consumers to find their car locally, as well as nationally. The organization has connected with national delivery systems to make the shopping experience as easy as getting an airline ticket online.

“The only difference is instead of the consumer driving to the airport to get on that plane, the car buyer can either go to the dealership, or stay home and receive their new or pre-owned car, truck or van right in their driveway,” added Bello.

“Lead generation is a long-established method to justify marketing budgets, but COVID-19 stay-at-home orders pushed the industry to service dealers needs even better. By purchasing leads of interested, qualified buyers, dealers can maintain a ramp up that makes sense within the latest guidelines and strategies for interacting with consumers.”

This program will be released to dealerships in August 2020.
