vAuto Conquest vs. vAuto Provision

vAuto Conquest has made both my GM and GSM's lives far easier. Being able to immediately see comps for like vehicles across your designates market with specific attention paid to optioning is crucial to providing both accurate trade appraisals as well as setting pricing for used inventory. It does an excellent job. It does not have much usage on the fixed ops side, other than the fact that increasing the below-line gross of sales lowers the needed fixed-ops absorption and makes it possible for there to be greater movement in sales pricing in general.

I have had very little need for customer support on this particular part of the X time suite, but I have dealt with them to a great extent within the fixed operations side of the dealership and they are always extremely responsive, incredibly helpful and are always there for you when needed. A great asset to their company.

It's been so long since I have used a competitive product to vAuto, it is no longer found on the list. If the other product were an Apple product, it would compare to an old iPod. Whereas, vAuto is a new iPhone

This is really the only product I seriously looked at in this segment. It does literally everything I want, it excludes nothing, with nothing there that is not needed. Every feature is great, it works together with the other Xtime products to cover basically every need within an automotive dealership world.
