AI for Car Dealerships That Turns Seller Leads Into Purchased Units

CarHarvest AI responds to every seller in seconds, day or night. It collects the VIN, photos and condition, qualifies the vehicle against your buy box and hands your buyer a ready to close appointment.

Speed Wins the Car

A private seller usually contacts more than one buyer. The first dealer to respond with a real offer often gets the car. When leads sit in a BDC queue overnight or over the weekend, they go cold or go to a competitor.

AI lead follow up for dealers fixes that gap. Every lead gets a response right away, even at 2 a.m. on a Sunday.
