How a $17 Million AI Automation is Transforming Car Dealerships 🚗💡

The car dealership industry has always faced challenges when it comes to managing leads, appointments, and follow-ups. With the rise of AI-powered automation, companies like Toma are not only solving these problems — they are also taking the industry by storm. Recently, Toma raised a massive $17 million to scale its voice automation for car dealerships. And with that funding, Toma is proving that AI can revolutionize the way car dealerships do business.

The Struggles Every Car Dealership Faces

If you’ve ever walked into a car dealership, you know how overwhelming it can be. But behind the scenes, the challenges are even bigger. Here’s what dealerships face every day:

Lead Overload: Thousands of leads come through the door every month, many of them unqualified or uninterested.

Follow-up Failures: After gathering all the details, dealerships struggle to follow up effectively.

No-Shows: Customers book appointments but don’t show up, wasting valuable time and resources.

These pain points have long plagued the industry, making it clear that something had to change.

The Moment of Discovery: How Toma Solved the Problem

Enter Toma, a company that’s transforming the car dealership landscape with AI voice automation. Toma’s AI-powered system automatically engages with leads, schedules appointments, and follows up — without the need for human intervention.

The magic happens with an AI receptionist that never sleeps. Whether it’s 3 a.m. or 3 p.m., Toma’s AI is ready to engage, book appointments, and even answer customer questions. And the best part? It does this all through a simple automated phone call, allowing dealerships to focus on selling cars, not managing paperwork.

The Real-World Impact: A Seamless Workflow

So, how does it work in practice?

Lead Capture: A customer submits their details through a form on the dealership’s website — name, phone number, car model interest, and contact preferences.

Instant Follow-Up: As soon as the form is submitted, Toma’s AI calls the customer to confirm their preferences and set up a meeting.

Automated Appointment Setting: Once the customer confirms, the AI schedules a follow-up call or visit with a dealership specialist.

Continuous Engagement: The system sends WhatsApp messages and emails to confirm appointments, provide updates, and even offer promotions.

The Business Potential: A $5,000 Setup & $3,000 Monthly Subscription

Toma’s AI platform doesn’t just save time — it also creates significant business opportunities. Dealerships can pay a $5,000 setup fee and a $3,000 monthly subscription for ongoing services, creating a scalable and highly profitable business model.

And the best part? This automation can be sold to other dealerships. You can resell the automation as a service, helping dealerships implement this game-changing technology into their operations.

Building It Yourself: How You Can Tap Into This Opportunity

While Toma has built a strong foundation, the good news is you can replicate this for other industries. Whether you’re in the car dealership business or something entirely different, automation like this can help you:

  • Increase efficiency
  • Improve customer engagement
  • Scale your business quickly
  • By using tools like N8N for workflow automation and Vo for voice calling, you can create your own voice-powered agents, automate customer interactions, and start generating income.
