The dealership operating system built on the drive.
One system for the whole dealership — starting where the money is made. Run Auto Expert alongside your current DMS today, and replace it when the full platform ships. Built for single-rooftop and small-group dealers by a service manager who's still in the chair.
Built for the service drive. By someone who still works it.
You're bleeding money being
the integration layer.
Your CRM is bolted on. Your equity tool is another bill. Your scheduler, your texting, your MPI, your payroll, your training — all separate vendors, all separate logins, and your team is the integration layer holding it together. Meanwhile the work is walking out the door. The customers you worked hardest to earn are getting their service somewhere else.
Auto Expert is one system for the whole dealership, built to keep that work in your bays.
Every department. One platform.
Built natively for every corner of the dealership — not patched together from acquisitions. Service leads, because that's where it started.
Service
Visual service board & full RO management — where it all started.
Sales
Leads, deals, desking and trade appraisals in one connected desk.
Parts
Inventory, POs, and vendor management built for the back counter.
F&I
Digital menu and lender submission, built for the box.
Body Shop
Estimates, ROs, and repair tracking from drop-off to delivery.
Accounting
The books, reconciled to the work — no exports, no re-keying.
Marketing
Campaigns, equity offers, and customer outreach that drive work back to your store.
Administration
Human Resources, IT, Facilities, and Compliance — the back office that keeps every department running.

Until warranty submission and the factory statement ship, you keep your current DMS for those two jobs — and run Auto Expert for everything your people actually touch all day. That's the point of dual-running: you get the drive today without betting your month-end on it.
Founding dealers are automatically first in line.
Built by someone who's still in the chair.
I've spent fourteen years in this business — Honda detail bay to sales to service, now a service manager at Mazda. Most of those years I spent fighting the software that was supposed to help.
Every DMS on the market had its workflows built by people who haven't written an RO, haven't sold a car. They added features in a conference room. They don't know what 8am on a Saturday actually looks like.
So I'm building the one I always wanted — for the people who run the shop, not the people who buy software in a boardroom. In beta, with real dealers, right now.
A.I. where it counts — built in, not bolted on.
We use AI where it earns its place, and we're honest about what's live and what's coming. Because Auto Expert is built on modern architecture from day one, AI runs in the data layer instead of being stapled on top of a 30-year-old system. What we won't do is put a chatbot in the headline and call it the future.

Founding dealers get founding pricing and a direct line to me. Real numbers, clear bands, no "call sales to find out."
