Auto Dealership Industry
AI automation for auto dealerships — respond to every car buyer lead in under 60 seconds, 24/7.
Talos builds AI voice agents and workflow automation for franchised and independent dealerships. Instant internet lead response, automated service reminders, and bilingual AI for English and Spanish-speaking buyers — without adding BDC headcount.
Who we work with in auto retail
We serve dealerships where internet lead response speed and service retention directly drive gross profit.
Franchised new car dealerships
New car dealers managing high internet lead volume from Cars.com, AutoTrader, and OEM portals who need instant, consistent response.
Independent used car dealers
BHPH and independent dealers who need professional lead follow-up without a full BDC team.
Multi-rooftop dealer groups
Dealer groups that need standardized lead handling and service outreach across multiple locations.
Service departments
Fixed ops managers looking to increase service lane appointments through proactive maintenance reminder campaigns.
What we automate for auto dealerships
Internet lead response
Every VDP lead, trade-in inquiry, and form submission responded to within 60 seconds — by voice, SMS, and email — 24/7.
Bilingual AI voice agents
English and Spanish AI voice agents with automatic language detection — critical for Texas, California, and Florida dealer markets.
Service reminder campaigns
Automated oil change, tire rotation, and recall reminder calls and texts to every customer in your DMS.
Unsold lead follow-up
Multi-touch AI follow-up sequences for showroom visits that didn't close — 60-day automated drip with personalized vehicle references.
Trade-in lead nurturing
Automated follow-up for trade-in appraisal requests — one of the highest-intent lead types in automotive.
CSI improvement workflows
Post-sale and post-service follow-up that improves CSI scores and catches problems before they become negative reviews.
What changes when dealerships automate
Without AI automation
- Internet leads wait 2–4 hours for first contact — 78% of buyers choose whoever responds first
- Spanish-speaking buyers get slower responses or none at all — lost gross in bilingual markets
- Service lane runs on reactive volume — no proactive outreach to pull customers in
- Unsold showroom visits never hear from the dealership again after the first follow-up call
With Talos automation
- Every internet lead contacted in under 60 seconds — nights, weekends, and holidays included
- Bilingual AI handles English and Spanish buyers equally — no market segment left unserved
- Service reminders run automatically — appointment volume increases without adding service advisors
- Unsold prospects receive a 60-day automated sequence — more comebacks, more sold units
