For example, recent DealerFire upgrades make our websites faster than the industry average and provide an unmatched user experience for dealership customers.”

DealerSocket also offers a digital retailing tool, Precise Price™, which allows customers to begin a vehicle purchase online and finalize the transaction at the dealership.
