ASBURY AUTOMOTIVE SELECTS F&I MENU WIZARD
MARION, IL - Jan. 30, 2003 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- Asbury Automotive Group Inc (NYSE:
ABG), one of the largest automotive retailers in the U.S, has selected the F&I
Menu Wizard(tm) by software provider DealerWare LLC for its group-wide Menu
Selling solution.
Tom McCollum, Asbury's Vice President commented, "Asbury was very diligent in
its search for the best menu in the marketplace. F&I Menu Wizard was the only
product that met or exceeded every expectation. We found it to be both customer
and user-centric and most important, a real time saver. However, the best part
about our decision has been the support we've received from the folks at F&I
Menu Wizard. Asbury is very pleased to have them as a partner."
Asbury Automotive Group, Inc., headquartered in Stamford, Connecticut, is one of
the largest automobile retailers in the U.S., with 2001 revenues of $4.3
billion. Asbury now operates through nine geographically concentrated,
individually branded "platforms." These platforms operate 93 retail auto stores,
encompassing 131 franchises for the sale and servicing of 36 different brands of
American, European and Asian automobiles.
DealerWare LLC is a custom provider of automobile dealership software
headquartered in Marion, Illinois. Its flagship product the F&I Menu Wizard(tm)
is used in hundreds of dealerships nationwide.
"The goal of Menu Selling in car dealerships is to consistently offer all
finance and insurance products to all buyers all of the time - known as the 300%
rule," says Mike Absher, founder of DealerWare LLC. "This consistency creates
the opportunity to sell more products and more importantly, discloses these
products to the customer in an easy-to-understand friendly format. Today's
automotive buyer however, does not have the time to invest while waiting for a
financial services manager to create these complex packages on a presentation."
With the F&I Menu Wizard(tm) automobile dealerships have an automated software
tool that creates these confrontations in less than 30 seconds. The software
also allows these packages and presentations to be quickly customized to a
customer's expressed wants after the initial presentation is made.
In addition to the hundreds of dealerships using the software, the F&I Menu
Wizard(tm) is currently in pilot in two DaimlerChrysler dealership zones and one
General Motors dealership zone.
