Built for independents

Two ways dealers use it

Trade-ins on the lot

A customer at your desk has a trade. Text them the link, and they can walk out to the car and take the photos while you work the deal. If they call ahead, send it before they come in, and you'll have the VIN, mileage, and payoff before they walk through the door.

Buying from private sellers

You found one on Marketplace. Instead of asking for more pictures one message at a time, send the link. You get the same photos and details on every car, so you can tell whether it's worth the drive.

How it works

Three steps. No more “send me some pics.”

  1. 01

    Text the link.

    Send it from your phone by text, email, or any messaging app.

  2. 02

    They fill it out on their phone.

    Plate or VIN, mileage, payoff, a few condition questions, and guided photos: all four sides, the dash and odometer, the seats, and the wheels.

  3. 03

    It lands in one place.

    Photos, VIN, mileage, and payoff arrive together on one sheet, instead of scattered across a thread.

The whole car, in one card.

No more screenshots across three text threads. Every submission is one record your desk can appraise.

Everything you need to see the car before you make an offer.

  • Send it however you already talk to people.

    Text, email, or any messaging app. The link opens in your customer's phone browser.

  • No app to download.

    Your customer taps the link and starts. No account, no password.

  • Your customer gets a confirmation.

    It follows the hours you set. During your hours, it says someone will reach out soon. After hours, it says when you're back. Shown on screen, and by text where texting is set up.

  • Your dealership's name and logo

    on the page your customer sees.

  • Progress is saved.

    If your customer loses signal or closes the page, what they've entered is still there.

  • All the photos in one click.

    Download every photo for a car as a single zip file.

Questions dealers ask

Does my customer have to download anything?

No. It's a web page that opens from the link on any phone. There's nothing to install and no account to make.

Will it tell my customer what their car is worth?

No. Send the Car collects the information and photos. You decide what to offer.

Where do the cars show up?

In your email, and in your CRM if it takes leads by email. You'll also have a simple page where you can see every car that's come in.

Will you text my customers ads?

No. Any text your customer gets is about their own car, like a confirmation that you have their info. Anyone who replies STOP never gets another text from us.

When can I start using it?

We're building it now. Founding dealers go first, and we'll set you up ourselves: your logo, your hours, your salespeople, and a test car to make sure it lands where it should.

Can I send a car to my wholesale buyers?

That's a planned add-on called Bid-out. One click will send a car's sheet to your own wholesale buyers so they can bid on it, and your customer's contact info stays with you. It'll be an upgrade, not part of the base price.

Who's behind this?

Send the Car is built in Atlanta by Fulcrum Product Works. The team behind it are auto industry veterans with over 15 years' experience.
