Why do you need this?
Because you’ve already got the leads — you’re just not using them.
MotorTrade Ai turns your old customers into new sales — without spending more on ads.
On average only 10% of customers return to the same dealer.
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.
Our dealers see up to a 50% repeat customer rate.
That means they’re selling more without spending more — and in some cases, they’ve even ditched Auto Trader altogether.
The average dealer spends north of £200 to sell a car.
Our dealer partners are sub £100 and some are as low as £50 a car!
That’s the difference when you stop relying on ads.
The best part? We'll show you a return on investment... Instantly, GUARANTEED...

Some of the problems we have solved
Sub Prime Finance Specialist
Problem: Swamped With Finance Approvals
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
Solution: Bespoke finance approval engager.
Result:
Cost: £1000 set up + £1 per contact engaged.
Small Used Car Dealer
Problem: Missing web leads
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.
Solution: Inbox, Cost effective web chat.
Result: An average of 5 extra enquiries a month
Cost: £37 a month

Our products...
Our Guarantee
We’re 100% confident MotorTrade Ai delivers real results for UK dealers — so confident, we’ll prove it upfront before you spend a penny.
Everything we offer is built to drive a near-instant return on investment. In fact, most of our dealer partners start
earning before they’ve even paid us.
No fluff. No risk. Just results.
Heard it all before?!
How do you know it will be different this time?
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.
