We are built by dealers, for dealers! We’ve tested our software and processes within our own stores and it works! We took a bottom performing Toyota store into the Top 10 in the country and The AutoMiner was bred from our business needs. Since then we’ve used The AutoMiner to lower our cost per car in advertising costs while increasing our service profits by over 200%!
The AutoMiner is the leading automotive industry customer data platform that has helped dealers across the country consolidate, cleanse and leverage their first-party data for highly effective marketing campaigns.
Acquired by PureCars in 2023, The AutoMiner is available as a standalone product or bundled with PureCars’ leading digital advertising services.
Our combined solution is currently approved in 10 OEM programs.
Our passion is to help our dealer partners find the right mix of data-based marketing with outsourced advertising efforts to maximize actual dealer net profit.
