Overall Satisfaction with vAuto Provision

This program is used mainly in our new and used vehicle departments to assist in properly appraising potential trade-in vehicles, and making proper decisions when choosing what vehicles to purchase, and how much to pay for them at auction. It also helps with inventory management across the board, showing every aspect of internet traffic, phone, email leads, etc.

Pros

  • Gives a solid base of comparison as to the pricing of inventory in the area vs. the potential vehicle you are looking at purchasing or selling.
  • Stores pictures, car fax, like comparisons, and lead info on every unit
  • Gives numerous different ways at analyzing stock units.

Cons

  • Some of the icons are a little esoteric and hard to understand intuitively.
  • It would be nice if it were able to have preset pricing movements based on the age of unit, kind of like a stop-loss setup.
  • Can be cumbersome to access some programs, e.g. Carfax required 4-5 steps to access.
  • Has increased ROI by enabling better pricing of vehicles, keeps in line with other dealers without underselling.
  • By carefully tracking aged inventory and enabling alerts at set age points, it has positively impacted gross by ensuring inventory turnover.
  • Other than the cost of the program itself, no negative issues with ROI.
This is really the only product I seriously looked at in this segment. It does literally everything I want, it excludes nothing, with nothing there that is not needed. Every feature is great, it works together with the other Xtime products to cover basically every need within an automotive dealership world.
I have had very little need for customer support on this particular part of the X time suite, but I have dealt with them to a great extent within the fixed operations side of the dealership and they are always extremely responsive, incredibly helpful and are always there for you when needed. A great asset to their company.
