Sound familiar?
Leads go cold within hours
The enquiry from the listings site lands today, and if your reply sits unread in an email inbox, that buyer is sitting in a rival's car tomorrow.
After handover you never hear from them again
Years pass between one purchase and the next, and in all that time your customer hears nothing from you. When the next change of car comes around, the search starts from scratch somewhere else.
Events and offers reach the wrong people
Open days, model launches, spring promotions: an advert goes out to everyone and costs a fortune, when your own customers are the most receptive audience you have.
How you use SmartChat
Flag matching cars straight away
A buyer is waiting for the right car and hears about it first, the moment it lands on your forecourt. The message becomes a test drive, and the test drive becomes a sale.
Fill model launches and open days
Your existing customers are the first to know when the new model arrives in the showroom. That feels far more personal than an advert, and nothing is wasted on the wrong audience.
Stay on top of lease endings
You know when contracts run out, so you get in touch months ahead with the right replacement, before your customer starts looking around on their own.
Take service offers to your existing customers
Winter checks, air conditioning servicing, accessory weeks: your service team stays busy because the offer reaches exactly the customers whose car it applies to.

FAQs
Does WhatsApp suit a decision as big as buying a car?
Very well, in fact. Buying decisions need trust and fast answers, and in a chat you can settle questions about a car, send photos and arrange test drives without anyone waiting on hold.
How do I build the list?
Through the landing page SmartChat builds from your website: a QR code in the showroom, a link in the quote email, a quick mention at handover. Every contact confirms by double opt-in.
Can I talk to buyers and existing customers separately?
Yes. New car buyers, used car buyers and service customers can each sit on their own list, so everyone only gets the messages that are actually relevant to them.
What are the costs?
The SmartChat plan starts at 188 euros per month on the annual plan, with unlimited contacts. Meta bills the WhatsApp messages directly, and SmartChat adds nothing on top of that.
Who writes all these messages?
The AI does, based on your website and in your tone of voice. Newsletters, invitations and follow-ups sit ready for approval, so your team only has to check them and hit send.
