Vehicle Acquisition AI: Turn Your Service Drive Into Your Best Source of Inventory

The Customer Vehicle<xl><md><sm> Report

Matching customers receive a personalized, VIN-specific Customer Vehicle Report (CVR) via SMS the night before their appointment — including trade-in value, market analysis, and upgrade options with example monthly payments. They arrive already thinking about it.

Real-Time Check-In<md><sm> Alerts

When a targeted customer pulls in, your Used Car Manager gets an instant alert with vehicle details, equity position, and a clear signal that the customer is open to a conversation. No cold approach. No guesswork.

Repair vs. Replace —<xdt> Only<sm> Tekion Can Do<md> This

When a live service estimate signals a large repair, the agent automatically compares it against the trade-in value and upgrade payment in real time — and creates a CRM lead for your sales team while the customer is still in the write-up. This is only possible when your service and sales data live in the same platform.

AI-Managed Follow-Up

Salesperson AI, the CRM AI agent, handles initial outreach, answers common questions, and manages the conversation — escalating to a human rep only when the moment calls for it. Your team works warm leads, not cold lists.
