That means 9 out of 10 buyers go elsewhere next time. With £1,500 profit per sale on average, that's a serious chunk of revenue slipping through your fingers.
That means they’re selling more without spending more — and in some cases, they’ve even ditched Auto Trader altogether.
That’s the difference when you stop relying on ads.

Our client had a problem in that they were spending a lot of money on generating leads that then turn into finance approvals. They were getting in the region of 900 approvals a month and their sales team were getting absolutely swamped and unable to keep on top of the flow of approvals. On top of that when they did get to call the approvals people wouldn't answer their phones...
We have worked with this dealer for a while and looked at putting a bespoke system in that
Our client a small used car dealer that sells around 10 cars a month, was aware that they were probably missing out on enquiries directly through their website.

We don't believe in locking customers into restrictive contracts.
We want dealers using our products because they want to not because a contract tells them they have to.
You can use the service on a 30 day rolling month to month basis and you are free to cancel at any time.
AutoEngage is very simple to use, it is as simple as logging in, on your computer, tablet or phone and replying to the enquiries you've had come in.
There is nothing worse than paying too much for something and not getting any value in return. We have priced Inbox so that it doesn't matter if you sell 5 cars a month from home or 500 from a site.

earning before they’ve even paid us.
No fluff. No risk. Just results.
Built by the trade, for the trade.
We know exactly what it’s like to run a dealership—because we’ve done it ourselves. Between us, we’ve owned and operated car dealerships for years, spending hundreds of thousands of pounds on marketing and advertising to try and move more metal.
Some of it worked. A lot of it didn’t. We bought into shiny promises that looked great on paper but delivered nothing but a lighter bank balance.
That’s why we built
MotorTrade Ai
—an AI-driven solution designed specifically for the UK motor trade, by people who’ve actually been in it.
We’ve used our combined 50+ years of experience to create tools that help you:
- Book sales appointments with previous customers
- Generate 5⭐️ Google reviews
- Manage inbound leads and turn them into buyers
- Drive real, measurable ROI—even in slow months like December
And we do all of this cost-effectively, with speed and simplicity.
We’re proud to say that our customers see a near-instant return on investment—and we’re always happy to
prove it upfront.
The motor trade is a small world, and unless you’ve lived it, you don’t truly get it. That’s what makes MotorTrade Ai different. We’re not a tech startup trying to break into the industry—we’re the industry, using AI to solve real problems that real dealers face every day.
