| Best Kept Secret in Automotive Dealership Systems Silently Grows 35% Per Year
And Is Consistently Rated Higher Than Larger Competitors for Customer Satisfaction.
Clifton Park, NEW YORK - Imagine a dealership software solution created by automotive dealership professionals for automotive dealership professionals that grows at a rate of 35% per year, has over 350 dealership clients, and consistently rates above larger, well-known competitors…yet somehow manages to remain somewhat of a secret to the very industry it serves.
Auto/Mate may be one of the industry’s best kept secrets, but it won’t be a secret for long if it continues to distinguish itself as an affordable, powerful and user-friendly alternative to other dealership software solutions.
The National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) bi-annual survey, voluntarily completed by users of all dealership systems in the industry has always produced Auto/Mate above long-standing competitors like Reynolds and Reynolds, AutoSoft, ADP with honors for “Customer Satisfaction”, “Would Recommend to Other Dealers” and for “Effectiveness of Training” despite the fact that they represent a lower number of users.
Auto/Mate continues to add new clients every month, most of whom have switched from the solution of a competitor with much larger market share. With more than 22,000 new automobile dealerships nationwide, President and CEO of the company Mike Esposito sees much potential for continued growth.“Auto/Mate truly is the best kept secret in the industry, but I believe that will change this year,” says Mike Esposito, Auto/Mate President and CEO who was once, himself, a general manager of a successful new car dealership. “Word is getting out that our customers are satisfied; and we fully expect to substantially increase our market share in 2006. We have a superior product and we provide exceptional support to our customers”.
So, what makes Auto/Mate unique? It is comprised of professionals that have actually worked in successful new car dealerships. Auto/Mate’s team has over 150 combined years of new successful new car dealership experience from across the United States and leverages that intimate understanding of the day-to-day needs of dealerships to meet the needs of general managers, sales, parts, service and office managers.
“Auto/Mate typically costs 1/3 less than comparable solutions, it’s easy to use and includes our professional, award-winning support service,” explains Mike Esposito. “We offer a month to month contract rather than lengthy long-term contracts that many of our competitors require. Auto/Mate users stay not because they have to, but rather because they are satisfied and they want to.”
Auto/Mate’s PC-based 14 software function-specific modules collect data to create critical dealership invoices, forms and invoices as well as a myriad of financial reports very quickly, on-demand. Auto/Mate can even Auto/Mate inventory control and ordering, saving the dealership time and money. “Our philosophy is to minimize the dealer’s “Total Cost of Ownership”, while maximizing their ability to utilize the solution to improve efficiency, profitability and customer satisfaction,” explains Esposito, “We help managers get the data they need, when they need it, with greater flexibility and profitability.” Auto/Mate customers also receive free training for the life of their system, free software upgrades, an automatic archiving system, and a high level of personal support.[
Our prediction for 2006: The best kept secret in the industry will become the system of choice for more dealerships nationwide. Esposito has set a goal of achieving a 35% increase again this coming year and if the secret gets out, he may very well exceed that goal. Stay tuned…
