AI agents for franchise auto dealer groups

Variable operations get the attention; fixed operations pay the bills. Agents work every lead, fill the service lanes and protect warranty revenue.

In short

Midsize Franchise Auto Dealer Groups companies use AI agents to take on four kinds of work: internet lead response; service scheduling; warranty claims; used inventory aging. The agents work inside the systems you already run and escalate exceptions to your team; Luby's standard plan targets the first one in about 10 weeks.

FAQ

AI agents in Franchise Auto Dealer Groups: common questions

How are midsize Franchise Auto Dealer Groups companies using AI agents?

The most common starting points are: internet lead response; service scheduling; warranty claims; used inventory aging. Each one is handled by agents that run the routine work and escalate exceptions to a person.

Which systems do the agents work with in Franchise Auto Dealer Groups?

Agents connect to the systems you already use, such as CDK Global, Reynolds and Reynolds, Dealertrack, VinSolutions, through APIs or secure browser automation when there is no API. No rip-and-replace.

How long until the first agent is in production?

Luby's standard plan targets about 10 weeks: roughly 4 weeks of discovery and 6 weeks to put the first agent into supervised production, with the business metric tracked from day one. Systems access and the process chosen can move that date.

Will AI agents replace our team?

That's not how we design them. Agents take over repetitive steps and your people keep the decisions: by default Luby agents run at Level 3 (supervised), so exceptions and approvals always go to a person. In most midsize companies the effect is absorbing growth with the same team.

How is our data protected?

Luby is certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701. Agents run in your cloud or an isolated environment, with models under no-training terms.
