Las Vegas · Independent Dealers · Auto Shops

The buyer messaged three lots about the same truck. Who answered first?

A used-car inquiry has a shelf life measured in minutes, and it usually arrives while you're with another customer. The Lot Engine answers every inquiry in under two minutes, books the test drive, texts back every missed call, brings service customers back on schedule, and asks every happy ticket for the review. Built in fourteen days. One fixed price. You own it.

Where the lot loses the deal

The inquiry comes in from Marketplace, or the listing site, or the form on your website, and it sits. Not because anyone's lazy, but because the person who'd answer it is walking the lot with a customer, or in the service bay, or off on a Sunday. The buyer isn't waiting. They messaged three dealers about three similar cars, and the first lot that answers gets the test drive. Everyone else gets silence.

The service side leaks the same way. The oil-change customer from January needed a reminder in May and never got one, so the quick-lube chain got the visit, and eventually the brake job too. Repeat service revenue is the steadiest money an independent shop has, and at most shops nobody owns bringing it back.

The Lot Engine is the employee who never steps away from the phone: it answers everything in minutes, books test drives and service appointments on their own, follows up with the undecided, and keeps your review count climbing with every closed ticket.

The full system, in three phases

Phase 1 is the build. Phases 2 and 3 are added later, as the system earns its keep. Nothing is hidden: this is the whole map.

Phase 1 — The core build (included)

Book Test-drive & service booking

Buyers book the test drive, service customers book the bay, both self-serve with confirmations and reminders. No phone tag.

Catch Missed-call text-back

Any call you can't answer gets an instant text with a booking link. The Sunday caller books Monday's appointment instead of calling the next lot.

Reviews The review engine

Every delivered car and closed repair order triggers a review request, timed and worded so people actually leave one. Trust is the whole game for an independent.

Measure The Monday scorecard

Every Monday: inquiries by source, response times, test drives booked, reviews earned. What the system produced, in one email.

Phase 2 — Growth modules (added later)

Chase Undecided-buyer follow-up

The test drive that didn't close gets a considered follow-up cadence: price drops, similar units, financing options, until they buy or say stop.

Return Service-lane reactivation

Past service customers get maintenance reminders on the right schedule for their vehicle. The steadiest revenue a shop has, running on autopilot.

Trade Trade-in valuation funnel

"What's my car worth?" captures the seller before they hit the big-box sites, and books the appraisal appointment.

Found Google Business + AI-search tuning

Your profile, photos, and site tuned so you show up when Vegas asks Google, and when Vegas asks ChatGPT.

Phase 3 — Scale modules (when you're ready)

Answer AI voice receptionist

After-hours callers reach a voice agent that answers questions, books appointments, and texts you the transcript.

Sync DMS / QuickBooks sync

Leads, deals, and invoices flow into the systems you already run without re-typing.

Portal Customer portal

Customers see their appointments, service history, and paperwork in one place.

Sites Multi-location support

A second lot or a second bay runs on the same engine, one dashboard.

Built for how Vegas actually works

Las Vegas is a transient, cash-conscious car market: people move in, move out, commute long, and buy used. Independent lots and shops live on speed and trust, up against franchise dealers with BDC departments whose whole job is answering inquiries fast. The Lot Engine is the independent's BDC: it never steps away, never forgets a follow-up, and costs a fixed price instead of a salary.

The same stack behind this engine already runs a live Las Vegas firm's lead pipeline today: every lead answered in under two minutes around the clock, bookings held with reminders, every close reported on a Monday scorecard. Different industry, same machine. That build is public, with the client's written permission, on the tax-resolution page.

No dealer or shop case study yet. That's what the founding rate is for: the first lots in get the build at the founding price, in trade for a written case study with real numbers once the system produces them.

Fourteen days, not twelve weeks

The build runs on a fixed day-by-day plan, and you see it working before it goes live.

Day 0 Kickoff + leak check

One call. We map where inquiries, bookings, and reviews are leaking today, and lock the plan.

Days 1–4 Site + capture built

The site takes shape with your real inventory or services. You review it live, not as a mockup.

Days 5–9 Automations wired

Instant response, booking, missed-call text-back, and the review engine connected to your real phone line and calendar.

Days 10–13 Tested on real phones

Test inquiries from every source, missed calls on purpose, booked test drives, tuned until it behaves.

What it costs

Real numbers up front, same as every page on this site.

Start small Missed-call text-back — $1,500

Just the catch-and-book piece, live on your line in about two days, plus $297/mo. The monthly doesn't start until it has caught and booked real customers in your first 30 days.

The build From $5,000

The full Phase 1 engine at the founding rate: three builds a month, and it includes a written case study with your real numbers. One fixed price. You own what gets built.

Running it From $497/mo

Everything monitored and maintained, problems fixed the same day, and the Monday scorecard showing what the system produced that week.

The Flat Rule $0 more as you grow

The fee never moves with inquiry volume or ad spend. Texts are the one real per-unit cost, passed through at cost and capped in writing.

Straight answers

Does this replace my DMS or inventory system?

No. The Lot Engine runs the customer-facing side: inquiries, bookings, follow-up, and reviews. DMS and QuickBooks sync are Phase 3 modules that connect to what you already run, not replace it.

I get leads from Facebook Marketplace and third-party sites. Does that work with this?

Yes. Wherever the inquiry starts, it lands in one list and gets an answer in minutes. Speed matters most on marketplace leads, because the buyer messaged three dealers at once and buys from whoever answers first.

How fast can this be live?

Fourteen days from kickoff to live for the full core build. The missed-call text-back piece alone can be on your line in about two days.

What does it cost as volume grows?

The monthly fee is flat and never moves with inquiry volume or ad spend. Text messages are the one real per-unit cost, passed through at cost and capped in writing.

Who actually builds and runs it?

Alfredo, one person, working alongside the same AI systems he sets up for clients. The same stack already runs a live Las Vegas firm's lead pipeline today. No account managers, no subcontractors.

Want to know how fast your lot answers?

Ask for the inquiry test: we send your lot a real inquiry the way a buyer would, time the response, and send you the results. Free, and it usually settles the conversation on its own.

Now taking founding clients in Las Vegas — three builds a month.
