So what exactly is the Auto Corner System? Basically, it is a used car dealership website management system. But that much you already know. What you get for your $299 is a complete turnkey system that is fine tuned for the requirements of a used car dealership, such as yourself. The creator of Auto Corner is an automotive professional with 18 years in the business which means that it is not just another "me too" dealership website.

Everything starts at the This is where you log in and control everything. From here you work with all your vehicle postings and also maintain your website. The layout is clean and uncluttered which makes it very simple to use and easy to navigate. Our entire system is designed to get you up and running with the absolute minimal learning curve possible.
|
 |
|
Posting your vehicle data is easy. Our customizable posting and editing tools allow you to get your vehicles posted with exactly the correct data for each of your vehicles. Every drop down list of options is fully editable and it even is capable of learning from your input so that values are stored for future use the next time you post or edit a vehicle. You can post up to 15 photos for each of your vehicles and they are automatically resized by the server when you upload them.

 |
|
Add banners and special text Our built-in banner editor allows you to create banners for your vehicle listings quickly and easily. You can make your own from scratch or use one of the precanned banner templates included. In addition, you can decorate the thumbnail gallery images of your vehicles with animated text just as easily. (see the pic of the Corvette with the "Check It Out!" text just underneath it)

Feature selected vehicles Use the featured vehicles tool to select vehicles you wish to profile on your homepage. You can edit the caption for this section too. In just a few mouse clicks you are done! See a sample of what this looks like on our demo site at www.dealerposting.com

Organize your inventory into convenient categories.
Our system uses categories to display your vehicle inventory.
Website visitors prefer this to having to fill out a vehicle search form.
(We do have a vehicle search form as well for those that prefer that instead.)

Great looking vehicle details pages! Part of the first impression that you must make is how you present your vehicle listings on your site. Sure you can go with an outside provider and "frame" their listings in your pages but you gotta admit that this approach looks tacky most of the time. Our vehicle pages are clean, sharp, informative and provide the information and customer tools that your website visitors demand.
|
 |
|
Do you use Dealer Specialties? Import your vehicle data directly from Dealer Specialties. Not only will your pages look better but your Google rank will improve dramatically! Increase my Google ranking? How can that be??? Yes, it's true. When you host your own vehicle listings instead of having them hosted by a third party, Google credits those pages as your own and raises your ranking as a result. This is why importing your data and photos to your own site is so important.

 Go from blah to WOW!!! |
|
Upload to Autotrader & Cars.com. Our system allows you to instantly upload your entire inventory to both your Autotrader and Cars.com website accounts. No complicated forms to fill out. Nothing to save to your desktop. No emails to send. Simply select the vehicles you wish to upload, make a couple of other selections such as how many photos to upload and click submit. Boom! Your vehicles are posted to your Autotrader and Cars.com accounts in a matter of seconds.

Integrated customer contact manager . . . Your website under the Auto Corner System will come with several pages where customers can initiate contact with you. Included are 'Contact Us', 'Vehicle Request', and Credit Application' pages. The contact manager is where you can review and manage these contacts. In addition, every contact also results in an email that is sent to you which contains an interactive contact management form as part of the email message as well!
|
 |
|
Where did your site visitors come from? The Auto Corner System also keeps track of where your site visitors came from. This is very useful information if you are paying for banner ads on places such as your local Chamber of Commerce website. Are those 300 hits that the Chamber claims they sent to your site real or not? Now you will know if your ad dollars are really working for you or is that banner ad just a waste of money!
|
 |
|
Reports, Reports, Reports! The Auto Corner System has a number of useful reports available to you that are designed to help you to get a handle on certain key aspects of your inventory. The 'Hit Count Report', 'Vehicle Aging Report', 'Vehicle Expense Report', and 'Vehicle Sales Report' present a nice snapshot summary of these vital statistics.
|
 |
|
A vehicle sorting tool? Why a vehicle sorting tool, you might ask? Well, each category, in addition to being able to show your vehicles sorted by price, year, and make & model, also has a default sort order that your inventory is presented in. The sorting tool allows you to take vehicles and sort them in any order that you see fit. This is useful in the event you have a car that has been on the lot so long it is at the bottom of its category. You can give it new life by pushing it back to the top using this tool.
|
 |
|
A customizable management system . . . In addition to the auto-learning capabilities of the vehicle posting and editing forms, you can also directly edit the full content of every drop-down list in these forms as well. This is useful for keeping options like engine choices and body colors set to values that you really use. No longer are you stuck with restrictive default values for these data selections.
|
 |
|
Automatic interest rate and On each vehicle page you can display a low interest rate and/or a low monthly payment teaser. This is handled automatically by the Auto Corner System. All you have to do is to enter your weekly rate updates that your lenders provide you and the system takes care of the rest. No more need for stupid monthly rate calculators on your site, especially when your customers have no idea what the current rates are!

A parting note: Today times are tight and getting tighter. Costs are going up and profits are shrinking. You gotta trim expenses in any way that you can. Switching to Auto Corner can easily save you $1000 or more per year over what you are spending on your current website. Better yet, you will wind up with a better website that will bring more customers your way than any other! |
