The Missed Car Buyer Leads Cost Dealership Revenue
Missed After-Hours Calls from Pre-Owned Vehicle Buyers
Over 60% of pre-owned vehicle shoppers research online before visiting a dealership, with many calling after hours—yet 30% of sales opportunities are lost due to unanswered calls. For example, a customer searching for a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) SUV with a clean vehicle history report may call at 8:30 PM after reviewing listings on CarGurus and Autotrader. If your line is busy or unanswered, they’re likely to move on to a competitor with a 24/7 answering service, especially if they’ve already completed a VIN check and are ready to schedule a test drive.
Slow Lead Response Time
The average response time for a used car inquiry is 12 hours—leading to a 50% drop in conversion.
Inconsistent Follow-Up
High employee turnover causes inconsistent customer service, reducing 85% of callers from returning after a missed call.

Why Used Car Dealerships Choose Answrr
Capture More Leads
Our 24/7 answering service captures every inquiry—whether it’s a buyer asking for a trade-in appraisal, a Buy Here Pay Here customer seeking financing details, or a shopper requesting a wholesale pricing estimate. The system instantly qualifies leads by asking key questions: 'Are you looking for a CPO vehicle?', 'Do you have a trade-in?', and 'What’s your credit situation?'. Within 45 seconds, the lead is logged, appointment scheduled, and follow-up initiated—resulting in a 40% increase in call-to-lead conversion, as seen in a mid-sized dealership in Dallas that went from 12-hour response times to under 60 seconds.
Boost Conversion Rates
Responding to used car inquiries in under 1 minute reduces buyer drop-off by 50%, according to Invoca’s 2023 Automotive Lead Response Study. For instance, a customer in Phoenix searching for a 2020 Toyota RAV4 with a clean vehicle history report and a $15,000 budget will abandon their search if they don’t hear back within 3 minutes. With our AI-powered answering service, dealerships receive real-time alerts with lead details—including VIN check results and pre-qualification status—enabling sales teams to follow up within minutes, not hours, driving a 35% higher conversion rate on high-intent leads.
Scale Without Hiring
During peak promotional periods like ‘End-of-Month Clearance’ or ‘Holiday Buy-Here-Pay-Here Specials’, call volume can spike by 200%. Without a 24/7 answering service, staff are overwhelmed, leading to missed leads and frustrated buyers. Our system automatically handles overflow calls, qualifies leads, books test drives, and even schedules trade-in appraisals—all without hiring temporary staff. One dealership in Houston handled 217 additional inquiries during a weekend sale event with zero added labor, resulting in 14 new retail sales and $18,000 in additional gross profit.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We used to lose 15–20 leads per week after 6 PM—especially during the CPO vehicle launch campaign. Now, Answrr captures every call, asks if they’re interested in a Certified Pre-Owned model, checks their trade-in eligibility, and books a test drive with a real-time retail markup estimate. Since implementing it, our conversion rate has jumped from 18% to 25%, and we’ve closed 32 more deals in the last quarter. It’s like having a second sales rep on the floor 24/7.”

“I’m not tech-savvy, but Answrr’s setup was so simple—just plug in our phone number and answer a few questions about our inventory. Now, when a customer calls about a 2019 Honda Accord with a clean vehicle history report and wants a trade-in appraisal, the AI asks the right questions, logs the VIN, and sends me a summary with a pre-qualification score. We’ve cut our response time from 12 hours to 47 seconds, and our lead follow-up rate is now 92%—up from 45%.”

Owner, Green Valley Motors (Used Car Dealerships), Used Car Dealerships
“Our team was burned out from answering the same questions—‘Do you have a CPO model?’, ‘Can I trade in my car?’, ‘What’s your best price?’—especially after hours. Now, Answrr handles all of it: it qualifies leads, books appointments, and even reminds customers of their scheduled test drive. One buyer called at 9:15 PM, got a full trade-in appraisal, and was in our showroom the next morning. That’s a $22,000 retail sale we’d have lost without the service.”
