DALLAS -

Working to help dealerships provide test-drive services to shoppers who are practicing social distancing, DealerSocket’s DealerFire is offering its Delivery Test Drive Integration free of charge for the next 100 days to its dealership customers who use the company’s Engine6 website platform and customer relationship management.

That will allow dealers to contact, schedule and deliver vehicles to a customer’s home or office, according to DealerSocket.

DealerSocket director of product marketing Cavan Robinson said the program “keeps the cogs of the auto buying experience running at full speed during this time.”

With the announcement, the company is doing the right thing for its customers “by being there for them, helping when they still need to provide outstanding service and support to their clients,” Robinson said.

Robinson continued, “No matter what is happening in the world, DealerSocket’s ‘white-glove’ customer service never rests.”

Test drives outside the dealership are one of the offerings of DealerSocket’s Delivery Test Drive Integration. Shoppers can request a test drive at any location. Dealers can set location radius and pricing thresholds.

Noting the customer convenience that the program offers, DealerSocket said that from the comfort of their home or office, consumers can navigate the car shopping process online.

With native DealerSocket CRM integration, all test drive appointments are automatically synced with DealerSocket CRM sales opportunities and appointment scheduling.
