From the founders of CarWoo (acquired by TrueCar) comes AxleAuto—the AI co-pilot that gives dealers the tools they need to deliver exceptional lead experiences from message one.
"To fix car buying by giving dealers the AI-powered tools they need to succeed."
AxleAuto is brought to you by the founders of CarWoo, which was acquired by TrueCar. We then spent 6 years building dealer and car buyer solutions at TrueCar. While at both companies, our mission was to improve car buying and the lead process.
We realized that if the car buying experience is going to be solved, it has to start with dealers. The lead experience is bad—not because dealers don't want to serve customers well, but because the system isn't set up for success. The more leads that come in, the harder it is for sales teams to handle them effectively. There are too many balls in the air, and things get missed.
This is where AI can truly make a difference. We still want to fix car buying, but we're going to do it by giving dealers the tools they need to sell. We're starting with lead handling because it's the first touchpoint for customers to engage with dealers. We're confident that if you use AxleAuto, your car buyers will experience the best lead handling starting from message one.
