What Dealer Principals
Actually Ask Us.

Both, and it’s your call. Drive AI is a complete all-in-one CRM in its own right: visual sales pipelines, one unified inbox for every channel, calendars, websites, forms, payments and reporting under one login. You can run your whole dealership inside it, or keep what you have and bolt Drive AI in, connecting your existing DMS and tools into one place. We help you choose the right setup on the discovery call.

The whole stack, not a single feature. A full CRM with visual pipelines; one unified inbox for SMS, email, calls, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Google; Conversation and Voice AI that respond in under 60 seconds; automation for follow-up, reminders, reviews and re-engagement; calendars and appointment booking; websites and funnels; forms; payments and invoicing; reputation management; and source-to-close reporting. One platform instead of a pile of tools.

Yes. Voice AI picks up inbound and overflow calls, runs outbound follow-up, qualifies the lead and books the appointment, and can brief a human before handing off a live transfer. It speaks 50+ languages, and for booking and qualifying most callers can’t tell it’s AI. Want to hear it? Call Wanda, our own intake AI, at (587) 525-7155.

Yes. During your build we connect Drive AI into the DMS, CRM, inventory feeds, phone system and equity tools you already run, so your data flows into one place with no double entry. You don’t have to switch platforms. What’s possible depends on what each platform’s API allows, so we scope every integration with you on the discovery call before you commit.

We’re upfront: not every integration is guaranteed. Standard connections (common CRMs, phone systems, calendars, inventory) are quick and included. Others depend entirely on what the platform exposes, and some need custom API work that can add time or cost. On the discovery call we tell you exactly which integrations are possible, which are instant, and which are custom, before you sign anything.

Your AI can start answering leads within days. The full system is custom-tailored over roughly 90 days, working closely with our team: we configure your CRM, pipelines, automations, AI voice and chat, integrations and brand voice around exactly how your store sells, then refine it with you until it’s dialed in. You’re not handed a template, you’re handed a system built for your floor.

The dealership owns 100 percent of its customer and lead data at all times. Drive AI Sales is the processor, not the owner. You can export your data at any time. We comply with PIPEDA, Alberta’s PIPA, and other applicable Canadian privacy legislation. Full details in our Client Terms.

Every deployment includes human-in-the-loop oversight. Your team can review, edit, or take over any AI conversation in real time. We tune the AI to your brand voice, your inventory and your compliance constraints before going live, and AMVIC and OMVIC advertising rules are configured into the system. If the AI is unsure, it escalates to a human.

Pricing depends on dealership size, lead volume, and the depth of your build and integrations. Typical deployments pay for themselves with less than one additional sold deal per month. You get a transparent quote on the 15-minute discovery call: no hidden fees, no per-seat charges, no surprise renewal hikes.

The dealership pays for its own telephony and messaging usage at cost, and Drive AI does not mark it up. Expect roughly $50 to $200 per month depending on your lead volume and call duration.

Yes. The AI supports over 50 languages out of the box. We configure a dealer-specific bilingual or trilingual response policy based on your customer base. Common Alberta deployments include English, French, Punjabi and Spanish.

Drive AI is built to augment, not replace, your BDC team. The AI handles tier-1 response, qualification and follow-up, freeing your people to focus on high-intent conversations and closing. Dealerships typically reassign BDC headcount to higher-leverage roles, not lay off. Want to walk through it for your team? Book a call.
