How a car moves through it

Dealership software that runs the whole store. Nine stages, one platform, in the order it actually happens.

Nine screens, in the order a car actually moves through the store.

01

The website

A site that looks like the store you wish you had. Twenty-plus templates with real motion. Built for you, owned outright, one indexable page per vehicle.

02

The photo

Phone photo in. Listing photo out. One tap. White background, or a scene matched to the make and model. Batch-consistent. Runs Northwest Auto Brokers' listings today.

03

The VIN

Scan it. It's live before you're back at the desk. Decode, price, photos — published to your site and pushed to CarGurus; Cars.com and DealerCenter via feed. You see the last push and the count.

04

The lead

Every inquiry in one inbox. The AI already knows the car. Answer by text and hand you the warm ones, or take every call 24/7. Never invents a car you don't have.

What do missed calls cost you? →

05

The list you have

Two thousand old customers, sitting in the CRM. New stock, service due, positive equity. Drafted for you; you switch it on. Quiet hours and DNC enforced.

06

The desk

Desk it on the screen the lead came in on. Four-square, KBB values through Cox, F&I menu, fair-lending checks.

KBB · in setup
07

The lender

Submit from the desk. Any lender. Through Dealertrack — in certification with Cox — or email the credit app with KBB value and book-out sheet to lenders that aren't on it. Decisions come back to the deal.

08

The jacket

Approved. Print it. Sign it. Fund it. Buyer's order, RISC with the TILA box, disclosures — e-signed, tracked sold → funded.

09

After the sale

The review. The Google profile. The books. Feedback text, review link, Google Business Profile managed, month-end reporting.

One store, the whole loop

An independent store in Washington moved their website, inventory, phones, desk and lender packets onto Lead Friendly — a store with ten-year relationships with its old vendors. What changed wasn't one tool — it was not having six.

Your first 48 hours.

No wizard first. The phone rings first.

  1. 0:00
    Sign up. Name, email.
  2. 0:01
    Paste your website. The agent builds itself from your store.
  3. 0:02
    Your phone rings. It answers as your dealership.
  4. 0:05
    Your trial line is live. Missed calls get a text back; you get the summary.
  5. Day 1
    Scan a VIN, snap a photo. Watch it go white-background and publish.
  6. Day 2
    Connect your feed. Now it quotes your actual cars.

What happens when it doesn't know.

The first question every dealer asks.

Stock
Not in inventory → says so, offers what is. Never invents a car, a price, a payment.
People
Asks for Mike → transfers if he's on, else takes the message and texts him.
Money
Quotes ranges from your desk rules. Never commits a rate or a trade value.
Law
AI disclosure, quiet hours, DNC, consent — enforced before any call or text leaves.
You
Every conversation recorded, transcribed, in the contact's timeline.

Compliance

Enforced by the platform, not your checklist.

Six questions dealers ask.

Answers and pricing last updated September 15, 2026.

I already have a website and a DMS. Do I have to replace them?

No. Start with the phone and the inbox; connect your existing feed so the agent quotes your real inventory. Move the website when your current contract ends.

Does the AI actually know my inventory?

Once your feed is connected, yes — stock number, price, mileage, availability, daily. Before that it knows your business from your website and says plainly it can't quote stock yet.

Which marketplaces does it push to?

Pushed to CarGurus; Cars.com and DealerCenter via feed, and a standard feed any other platform can pull. You see the last successful push and the count.

Can I submit to my lenders?

Through Dealertrack — in certification with Cox — or email the credit app with KBB valuation and book-out sheet as one packet, for lenders that aren't on it.

Is AI calling legal?

Yes, under the FCC's 2024 ruling, when consent, disclosure, quiet hours and DNC are enforced. Lead Friendly enforces them before a call is placed. Inbound calls to your number are always fine.

What does it cost?

Plans from $49/month with AI minutes included; the website build is quoted per store and owned outright. Seven-day trial, no card.

Not a dealership? Lead Friendly runs 22 other front offices.

Paste your website. Your phone rings in two minutes.

That's the whole trial start. No card, no wizard, no waiting for verification to hear it work.
