The Missed Calls Cost Used Car Dealerships Sales

Missed After-Hours Calls Cost You Pre-Owned Vehicle Sales – 30% of Leads Lost When You’re Closed

When a customer calls at 8:30 PM after browsing a CPO vehicle on your website, and your phone goes to voicemail, 78% won’t leave a message—meaning you lose that lead entirely. This is especially critical for dealerships offering buy here pay here financing, where high-credit-risk buyers often call after hours. Without an after-hours answering service, you’re missing out on high-intent leads who are ready to commit but need immediate confirmation on trade-in valuation, title status, or VIN lookup results.

24-Hour Response Time Kills Conversions – Buyers Compare 5+ Pre-Owned Vehicles Before Visiting

With 45% of used car buyers researching vehicles online before visiting, they’re often comparing multiple pre-owned vehicles side-by-side. If you take 24 hours to respond to a test drive request, the buyer has likely already scheduled with a competitor. This delay leads to a 60% drop in conversion—especially for vehicles with clean service history or low odometer rollback risks. A delayed response can mean losing a buyer who’s already approved for a loan or has a trade-in ready.

Peak Hour Call Overload – Staff Can’t Handle VIN Lookup Requests, Lemon Law Inquiries, or Trade-In Valuations

During lunch hours or weekends, your sales team is flooded with calls asking for real-time VIN lookup results, vehicle history report summaries, or trade-in valuation quotes. Without a dedicated system, agents are forced to put callers on hold, leading to frustration. One dealership reported 42% of callers hanging up after 90 seconds—especially when customers are asking about title status or potential odometer rollback red flags. This overload directly impacts customer satisfaction and can damage your reputation as a trustworthy pre-owned vehicle seller.

Real Results from Real Businesses

“We used to lose nearly 30% of our leads because we weren’t answering after hours—especially from buyers looking at our buy here pay here inventory. Now, Answrr answers every call, asks for the VIN, checks the title status, and schedules a test drive within minutes. One customer called at 9 PM after seeing a 2021 Toyota Camry with a clean vehicle history report. We closed the deal the next morning. Our conversion rate from after-hours leads has jumped from 18% to 52% in just 60 days.”

“Our team was drowning during peak hours—especially when customers wanted a trade-in valuation for a 2019 Subaru Outback with a questionable service history. Answrr stepped in, handled 220+ calls in one weekend, pulled a free vehicle history report, and even flagged a potential odometer rollback. The buyer appreciated the transparency and came in the next day. We’ve cut average follow-up time from 24 hours to under 7 minutes and increased customer satisfaction scores by 31%.”

Linda Chen

Dealership Owner, Chen’s Certified Pre-Owned (Used Car Dealerships), Used Car Dealerships

“I was skeptical about AI handling used car calls—especially when buyers ask about lemon law or CPO warranties. But the Rime Arcana voice is so natural, even our most experienced salespeople can’t tell the difference. One customer asked, ‘Does this 2022 Honda Accord have a clean title?’ and Answrr confirmed it’s clear and even pulled the vehicle history report. The buyer said, ‘You guys are way more responsive than the others.’ We’ve since added it as our primary lead capture system.”
