With Basic, Dealer Garage serves two web pages on your office network: a financing application and a browsable stock list. Each has a link and a QR code. Customers on your Wi-Fi fill the application on their phone and it arrives in Dealer Garage as a lead. Nothing is exposed to the public internet.
What you get
- A financing application page that creates a lead and customer record.
- A public stock list page showing the vehicles you choose to display.
- A link and QR code for each, ready to show on screen or print.
Who can reach them
Only devices on the same local network as the Dealer Garage computer. That is deliberate: your data stays inside your building, and there is no public web page to secure. Customers sitting in your showroom can use it on their own phones; someone at home cannot.
Use it in the showroom
- Open Online Forms in Dealer Garage.
- Show the QR code on a tablet or print it for the desk.
- The customer scans, fills it in, and you see the application straight away.
Keep in mind
- The computer running Dealer Garage has to be on and connected to the network.
- A credit application collects sensitive information. Handle it according to your privacy obligations, for example PIPEDA in Canada, and your state's rules in the US.
- For a public website form, use your website's own form and the lead-by-email sync.
What a customer sees
They scan the QR code with their phone camera, which opens a page in their browser served from the Dealer Garage computer. The financing application is a normal form with their personal and employment details. When they submit, they get a confirmation and you get a lead and a customer record.
Checks before you use it in the showroom
- Customers must be on the same Wi-Fi as the Dealer Garage computer; a guest network that isolates devices will block it.
- The Dealer Garage computer must stay on and awake.
- Try it yourself first with a phone on the same network.
