The 9pm Tuesday problem

Your buyers don't shop 9 to 5. Your sales team does.

It's 9pm on a Tuesday. Three people just messaged your Marketplace listing about the same Altima. By the time anyone replies in the morning, two of them already bought from the dealer who answered first.

Independent lots pay $1,500–$4,000/monthfor AutoTrader and Cars.com leads they can't respond to fast enough. Meanwhile Marketplace, where the actual buyers are, runs on one overworked salesperson's phone.

LotPilot answers the message in 60 seconds, in the buyer's language, in your voice — and queues the draft for your review before it ships if you want it that way.

What it does, day one

Six things working for you while you're on the lot.

Each of these is live in production today — not a roadmap promise. Turn any of them off per-dealer if you'd rather run manual.

  • Bilingual AI in your voice

    Claude Sonnet 4.6 trained on your inventory, your tone, your signature. Auto-detects EN/ES and replies in the buyer's language — Mexican/Latin-American register, not Google Translate.

  • Approve before send

    Every draft can land in a pending queue. Approve, edit, or reject in two taps. Stay in control while LotPilot does the typing.

  • Calendly + auto-confirm

    Test drives book straight onto your calendar. We text a friendly confirmation 24 hours before — and a follow-up 2 hours before for the higher-risk no-shows.

  • Post-drive follow-up

    24-hour, 72-hour, and 7-day messages auto-cadenced. Auto-cancelled the moment the buyer replies or you mark the lead sold or lost. Zero spam.

  • Re-engagement on new inventory

    When a new vehicle hits the lot that matches a cold lead's intent, we send one TCPA-compliant SMS. Capped at 50/dealer/day. Append-only audit.

  • Auction shopping list

    Aggregates 30 days of buyer-intent capture and tells you what to look for at Saturday's auction. Nobody else on the market does this.

Sounds like you. Not like a bot.

A real buyer thread, on a real lot.

Spanish-speaking buyer asks about an F-150 at 9:47 PM. LotPilot replies in Mexican register, references the actual stock, books the drive on Calendly, and hands the conversation back the moment the buyer is ready to talk numbers.

Hola, tienes la F-150 todavía?

¡Hola! Sí, la F-150 2018 XLT con 71k millas todavía está en el lote. La tenemos en $24,900 — cabina extendida, 4x4, sin accidentes en CarFax. ¿Quieres pasar a verla?

Y financiamiento? Tengo crédito mediano.

Trabajamos con varios prestamistas y normalmente conseguimos algo para diferentes situaciones de crédito. Lo mejor es que vengas y armamos el paquete contigo en persona. ¿Te queda mañana después de las 4?— Carlos, Atlanta Auto Mart

The auction edge

Stop guessing at Saturday's auction.

Every buyer that messages your lot tells LotPilot what they want — make, model, body type. We aggregate the last 30 days and score every (make, model) by demand × lead heat ÷ current stock. The top of the list is what you should be looking for on the auction floor this weekend.

No other dealer tool connects buyer-intent capture to auction acquisition. This is why our Pro-tier dealers stay on annual.

Built for the people who got burned last time

Compliance isn't an add-on. It's the foundation.

A single TCPA complaint can cost $1,500–$1,500,000. Most dealer-side tools treat consent as a checkbox. We treat it as an audit-grade ledger.

  • TCPA-compliant by default

    Buyer consent captured on first turn. STOP / HELP / START enforced globally. Bilingual consent text. Every consent state stamped to an append-only audit row.

  • Append-only audit trail

    Outbound messages, compliance exports, lead-share consents, and re-engagement sends all write to append-only tables. No authenticated user can rewrite history.

  • One-click compliance CSV

    90 days of consent + STOP/HELP/START + every outbound, exported as a streaming CSV. Regulator-defensible the moment you send it.

  • RLS at every read

    Postgres Row-Level Security scopes every dashboard query to your dealer. Service-role keys are only used by background drainers, never the dashboard.

Pricing

One closed lead a month pays for the year.

Flat monthly per dealer. No per-message fees. No setup fee. No annual lock-in. Cancel during your 30-day pilot for any reason.

Honest answers to the questions every dealer asks first.

Will the AI say something stupid to my customer?
Turn on approve-before-send mode and every draft lands in your queue first. You see it, edit it, or reject it in two taps. The AI never ships without your green light if you don't want it to.
Is the Spanish actually good?
Yes — Mexican / Latin-American register, not literal Google Translate. We use a founder-curated phrase library that the system prompt pulls from on every Spanish turn. Independent Hispanic dealers test it for us.
What does the buyer see?
Your dealership name. Your signature line. The reply is in their language. They never know it was AI unless you tell them. The Calendly link is injected automatically on test-drive intent.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
Your conversations and consent records are yours. Export them as CSV any time from the compliance page. If you cancel, we keep the audit trail for the regulator-required retention period and delete the rest.
Do I need new software for my lot?
No. LotPilot bolts onto the channels you already use — Facebook Marketplace (via a Chrome extension we install for you), Twilio SMS, WhatsApp Business, Calendly, and a copy-paste web chat widget. We're not a DMS replacement.
What's NOT included today?
Trade-in valuation (KBB / Manheim MMR) and financing pre-qual (RouteOne / 700Credit) are scaffolded but pending partner credentials. The video generator (Reels / TikTok) is on the roadmap. We don't pitch vapor.
