Run a Free TEM Audit

Industry Focus

Auto Dealerships

From the showroom floor to the service drive, dealerships run on connectivity, phones, and power — FreeTEM makes sure none of it is costing you a sale or a margin.

A dealership runs on calls, connectivity, and power — and all three leak money.

Missed calls are missed deals

Industry studies show a large share of dealership sales and service calls go unanswered — every missed call is a missed appointment or a lost sale that modern UCaaS and mobile routing would have captured.

Connectivity across every rooftop

Sales, service, parts, and F&I all depend on reliable connectivity. A single circuit with no failover can take a whole rooftop offline.

Energy is a heavy, controllable cost

Industry figures put dealership energy use around $20K–$100K a year and roughly 18% higher than typical offices — showroom glass, service bays, and lot lighting running 10–14 hours nightly.

Aging copper lines

Legacy POTS lines for phones and alarms keep billing every month at rising rates while better digital options sit unused.

Water in wash & detail

Wash and detail bays make water a real operating cost that almost no dealer audits.

Fragmented bills across the group

Multiple rooftops mean multiple providers and invoices — and no one auditing them for drift and error.

What FreeTEM helps you fix.

Capture every lead with cloud phones, smart call routing, and mobile so the sales floor and service drive never miss a call.

Multi-Rooftop Connectivity & Failover

Reliable business internet with automatic failover across sales, service, and parts so no rooftop goes dark.

Representative Scenario

What an audit can surface for a multi-rooftop dealer group.

An illustrative scenario built from published industry figures and supplier-documented performance — not a FreeTEM client result. The setup: a multi-rooftop dealer group missing inbound calls, running metal-halide lot lighting, and leaving energy supply unaudited. Figures are attributed to their source, not promised.

50–75%

Outdoor lighting energy that industry studies show LED lot lighting can cut — on lots lit 10–14 hours a night.

30–45%

Water reductions businesses typically see through ExactWater, backed by a 120-day guarantee.

$0

Cost to you — FreeTEM is funded by the suppliers you choose, not by your business.

Your actual results depend on your rooftops, contracts, and rates — which is exactly what a free audit determines.
