Module 01 · Live todayAutoCurb · the direct-from-consumer engine

Buy your customers' cars directly. One pipeline.

AutoCurb is the dealer-branded acquisition system that takes vehicles off the street, off the service drive, and in-store when the trade isn't on the lot — and runs them through one pipeline from submission to check request. ~$2,000 saved per direct unit. Zero auction fees.

While KBB, TradePending, and MotoAcquire re-quote at pickup, AutoCurb’s offer holds at delivery. The check we cut. No chip in the driveway.

Every direct-buy lane your store already has. Finally connected.

Most acquisition tools cover one lane — usually a website widget. AutoCurb runs all three and feeds them into the same dashboard, the same approval flow, the same audit trail.

Channel 01

Off-street

Customers find your AutoCurb landing page from the open web, search, or paid social and submit their car from the couch. Branded, mobile-first, live offer in under 60 seconds.

  • Your domain, your colors, your trust badges
  • Cash offer with 8-day price guarantee
  • VIN or plate decode in under 500ms
Channel 02

Service drive

Every service appointment gets a soft, opt-in SMS link the day of the visit. The customer raises their own hand while the car is already on a lift — no advisor pitch required.

  • Auto-attached to the RO and advisor
  • Equity-aware: only fires when there's room
  • Manager review before any offer is sent
Channel 03

In-store trade

The customer is sitting in your showroom — but their trade-in is at home, at work, or in the driveway. Your salesperson submits the trade from the desk and the offer keeps the deal moving.

  • Tagged to the salesperson and deal
  • Photos and docs collected over SMS later
  • Offer holds for 8 days while you close the sale

In-store trade is the one most tools miss. The customer is in your showroom, but their trade-in is at home — you appraise it without the keys in your hand. AutoCurb collects photos, docs, and the OBD-II read-out over SMS so the deal doesn't stall waiting on the car to physically arrive.

Watch a deal move

One VIN. Four stages. 22 minutes from submission to check.

Scroll through a real-shaped deal as it moves through the AutoCurb pipeline — submission, AI re-appraisal, manager approval, check request. The panel on the right recomputes as the deal moves.

Stage 01

Submission

The customer scans the VIN barcode on the door-jamb of their own car. No model dropdowns, no trim guesswork. The decode hits in under 500ms and the deal opens in your pipeline.

  • VIN, plate, or barcode auto-decode
  • Six condition questions, no dropdown gymnastics
  • TCPA consent versioned and timestamped
Stage 02

AI re-appraisal

Photos run through a vision model that scores damage, wear, and warning lights. If the car shows up in better shape than the customer claimed, the offer auto-bumps — which is why customers actually upload photos.

  • Black Book ACV pulled in real time
  • Photo condition score from Gemini 2.5 Flash
  • Auto-bump up to $2,500 on a clean vehicle
Stage 03

Manager approval

Pricing access is gated at the database, not at the form. The desk moves the deal Inspected → Approved in one click and every adjustment, override, and consent the customer signed lands in the audit trail.

  • Database-level pricing access controls
  • Single-click GM approval with audit trail
  • Every override timestamped and attributed
Stage 04

Check request

The deal closes in the platform — not in someone's inbox. The check request packet is print-ready, the customer e-signs from their phone, and accounting cuts the check from a packet that already has every approval attached.

  • Print-ready check request packet
  • Customer e-signature pinned to deal
  • DMS export from the same screen

Stage 1 of 4Awaiting AI re-appraisal
Submission to check request

One pipeline. Every stage logged.

The same four moves whether the lead came from a Google ad, a service appointment, or your salesperson's desk — with the audit trail your GM, your CFO, and your compliance officer all want to see.

  1. 01

    Submission

    VIN, plate, or barcode scan auto-decodes year/make/model/trim/drivetrain in under 10 seconds. Customer answers 6 condition questions, no dropdown gymnastics.

  2. 02

    AI re-appraisal

    Photos run through Gemini 2.5 Flash for damage, wear, and warning lights. If condition reads better than the customer claimed, the offer auto-bumps up to $2,500 — which is why customers actually upload them.

  3. 03

    Manager approval

    Pricing access gated at the database level. Pipeline moves Inspected → Approved with a full audit trail of every adjustment, override, and consent the customer signed.

  4. 04

    Check request

    Print-ready, signed off, exportable to your DMS. Accounting cuts the check from a packet that has every approval and timestamp attached. The deal closes in the platform — not in someone's inbox.

Roadmap

What's next on AutoCurb.

AutoCurb ships every week. Pilot dealers see new capability land in production, not in slide decks. Here's what's in flight.

Building now

AI Voice agents

Inbound and outbound calls handled by a voice agent that can re-quote a customer, book an appraisal slot on the service drive, and follow up on aging leads — all writing back to the same pipeline your team is already working.

Next

Smart lead routing

Round-robin and skill-based assignment with live aging badges, response-time SLAs, and automatic escalation when a lead sits past its window.

Next

Auction-vs-direct decisioning

Per-VIN recommendation on whether to retail, list to your inter-dealer marketplace, or wholesale — using your historical sell-through, days-to-sale, and front-end gross.

Pilot dealers vote on what ships next. Ideas from the desk land in production weeks later, not quarters.

What sets this apart

AutoCurb vs. the widget vendors.

Other tools give you a form that dumps leads into email. We give you the entire acquisition engine — on your domain, in your brand, managed by your team.
