FARMINGTON HILLS, Mich., Jan. 26 /PRNewswire/ -- RouteOne LLC announced today that more than 2,600 dealers are now subscribed to autoValue(TM), its used vehicle valuation tool, since the product's launch in late November 2006. The autoValue bookout tool is currently integrated with values from the N.A.D.A. Official Used Car Guide(R). Implementation with other books is being planned.
"The sheer volume of dealer subscriptions in less than 60 days has told us that dealers are finding this product useful, and important to the success of their business," said Mike Jurecki, RouteOne CEO. "autoValue allows our dealers to easily calculate used vehicle loan, retail and trade-in values from within the RouteOne credit application."
autoValue allows dealers to precisely and quickly obtain vehicle values during RouteOne's online credit application process. The information available to subscribing dealers and lenders currently includes N.A.D.A. values, and provides adjustments for mileage and optional accessories. autoValue accommodates all F&I and sales/desking selling processes via dual entry points: a single screen that allows F&I managers to valuate the vehicle from within the RouteOne credit application, or a standalone utility that provides sales and desking valuation tools, easily translated into the credit application where necessary, avoiding duplicate entry.
The autoValue product also allows dealers as many 'pulls', or automatic lookups, as needed, at no additional cost beyond the low monthly subscription fee.
"We understand that the dealers' needs change and evolve, and to accommodate that need we have made our autoValue service as flexible as possible," said Jurecki. "Dealers won't be restricted or limited when they use autoValue and the other services on the RouteOne platform," he added.
Dealers may contact RouteOne at 248.862.7000, ext. 7 for information on how to subscribe, or simply click on the 'autoValue' tab to subscribe online.
