HPI launches Vehicle Monitor
Generating dealer leads by indicating when a customer is ready to sell their vehicle Automotive technology solutions provider, HPI, is helping dealers generate more business leads with the launch of Vehicle Monitor. The new service allows dealers to track a vehicle, once it’s sold to a customer, producing alerts if it hits one of three trigger points, indicating that the vehicle may about to be sold. This in turn enables Dealers to approach customers in a timely manner to either buy the vehicle back from the customer or look to sell them a new vehicle.
EU gets backing from UK dealers to outlaw mileage correction firms
HPI survey reveals that 71% of dealers support EU decision Automotive technology solutions provider, HPI, reports that dealers firmly back proposals by the EU to introduce legislation to outlaw mileage correction firms by May 2018. The findings of a survey to HPI’s dealer community reported that 71% support the EU decision. A further 92% of those surveyed went on to declare that dealers, who are actively adjusting odometers without declaring the act to buyers, should be sought out and prosecuted. The rising support by used car traders to address the issue of clocking follows industry calls to the Government to regulate the registering of mileages adjustments, as well as introducing more mandated occurrences of when mileage information should be collected and recorded.
