“Today’s consumer expects a digital experience.

He also adds, “UpdatePromise’s data shows a direct correlation in upsells when dealers include a video showing their vehicle and explaining technicians’ findings to the customer when recommending additional repairs or services. The videos result in increased consumer trust, sales, and profits.”

Audi USA provides incentives to their dealerships that utilize an Approved Technician Video Walk-Around Provider such as UpdatePromise to meet the expectations of today’s consumers.

“Our strategic partnership with Audi USA will incentivize more dealerships to adopt the Video Walk-Around technology to meet the demands of today’s digital consumer.” Says Curtis Nixon, President and CEO of UpdatePromise. “The future success of any dealership is dependent upon innovation within the Fixed Operations department. More importantly however, is the ability to provide dealer principles and decision makers with transparent data about their Fixed Operations that will allow them to make informed, data driven decisions. The Audi USA Video Walk-Around program provides that transparency with the addition of the data and analytics provided by UpdatePromise.”

UpdatePromise dealerships see an average ROI increase of 15-20% in dollars per repair order (DPR) within 60 days of adoption.

When they receive a video that is transparent, there are no doubts or questions that the typical consumer feels when they receive a phone call telling them they need to spend more money for the vehicle’s maintenance.”
