How a 5-rooftop dealer group could realistically add $240K+ in gross over 18 months with LouieAuto — modeled on the founder's own operations and real dealer data. Full methodology and attribution at louieauto.com/attribution.
The founder's own 5-rooftop dealer group — a pre-commercial deployment, February 2024 through February 2026. Monthly volume: ~120 units. Important context: This is not an external customer case study. It is the operator who built the platform running it on their own stores. These outcomes are simulation-modeled projections based on the founder's own operational data — real deal patterns, real lender matrices, real floor traffic. Not a live customer case study. Numbers represent what the model projects for a store at this volume and baseline. Your results will vary.
Pre-deployment challenges: F&I penetration stuck at 11%. Service drive wasn't connected to sales. No buy list for equity identification. BDC data entry consumed 30+ hours/week. No real-time visibility into deal progression.
LouieAuto was deployed on a Friday afternoon. By Monday, the dealer was live with:
No DMS rip-and-replace. No training sessions. The system worked on existing dealer workflows.
Penetration lift from 11% → 29%. Desk coaching told them "Fiserv closes 3.2x faster than Santander on subprime." They started pitching accordingly.
Service-to-sales pipeline triggered 28 equity alerts in Q1. 14 converted to sales. Lost unit recovery was real.
Lead data entry went from manual to automated. Team went from chasing spreadsheets to actually calling buyers.
Could see which team was generating lift. Knew exactly which rooftop was underperforming. Made smarter commission decisions.
18% F&I lift on 120 units/month:
Service-to-sales lift:
Subtotal: $261,600 gross added in Year 1
Cost: $24,995 (one-time, perpetual license) + ~$300/month cloud costs.
Gross improvement: $261,600 in Year 1 vs. $24,995 cost. (Single-group pre-commercial deployment — results depend on deal volume, team adoption, and starting baseline.)
This data comes from the founder's own 5-rooftop operator group — the same pre-commercial deployment documented at louieauto.com/proof and the attribution methodology page. These are simulation-modeled projections built from the founder's own dealer operations — real lender data, real deal patterns, real floor traffic — run through the LouieAuto engine. Not third-party-audited live results. The founder runs these stores, built the platform, and stands behind the model. Nobody deploys software they don't believe in on their own stores. This is what's possible when every module in your dealership system talks to the same brain.
