AccuTrade: Your Advantage in the Service Lane Gold Mine

New-car sales remain steady, but the signs are clear: pressure is building. With tariffs driving up prices, consumer confidence softening, and affordable inventory becoming harder to find, sourcing the right vehicles—efficiently and profitably—is more important than ever.

That’s where your service lane comes in.

It’s one of the few areas you fully control, and with the right tools, it becomes a reliable, low-cost pipeline for high-quality, retail-ready inventory. AccuTrade makes it easy to scale this strategy—enabling your team to appraise vehicles seamlessly as part of their daily workflow, without disrupting the customer experience.

Here’s how AccuTrade helps you capture more from every visit:

  • DMS Integration: Automatically pull in ROs to identify high-opportunity vehicles.
  • VIN Scan via Appraiser App: Enable any team member to initiate an appraisal instantly.
  • Universal Condition Report: Share transparent, professional-grade valuations that build trust with every customer.

Dealers using AccuTrade to put this strategy to work see:

  • Up to $2,700 more profit per vehicle by avoiding auction-related costs and leveraging accurate appraisals1
  • 87% more profit per sale on vehicles acquired from the service lane vs. traditional sourcing2
  • Recon savings of $715 per detected issue using built-in OBD scans to spot costly repairs before they buy3
