Check Guarantee and Financial Protection for Auto Dealers

For auto dealers, one crucial aspect often raises concerns – accepting checks for down payments. To ensure a sale, you want to provide customers with flexible payment options. This is where CrossCheck's Auto Industry RDC Solution (C.A.R.S.) program comes into play. C.A.R.S. is a suite of check guarantee solutions, which allows auto dealerships to accept checks for down payments without the risk of not getting paid. It includes RDC (Remote Deposit Capture) and Multiple Check, which lets the customer write up to four checks to be deposited at agreed upon intervals. Also included is Check on Delivery, which is especially valuable to the service department as dealerships can pre-approve payment of delivered parts orders.

Check Guarantee: We Guarantee Declined Checks

There are inherent risks associated with accepting a check for goods or services, which is where check guarantee services come in. However, not all check guarantee services are created equal when it comes to risk aversion and often will decline a check - particularly for large-ticket items - as the risk increases with the dollar volume.

Auto Repair to Benefit as Consumers are Priced Out of New-Car Market

There are several factors to suggest prices for both new and used cars will continue to rise well into 2022 from the record levels already reached this year. At an average in 2021 of $45,000 for new cars and $25,000 for used cars - and rising - many consumers will likely find it either unpalatable or even impossible to buy a new car. That is great news for auto repair shops. CrossCheck can help seal the deal with sensible payment options as cash-strapped consumers will be increasingly likely to pay for repairs, rather than throw their older cars on the scrap heap.

Virtual Auto Dealer Options

on Fri, Sep 11, 2020 @ 09:23 AM By | Al Arco | 0 Comments | Auto Dealerships Check Guarantee
In 1962, ABC broadcasted its first program ever in color. The show was called The Jetsons. As remarkable as that achievement was for the times, the animated sitcom was cancelled after only 24 episodes. In the 1980s, The Jetsons was revived for two short years before being shelved decades ahead of technologies such as digital cameras, cell phones, and virtual auto dealer options. Thankfully through syndication, reruns aired for a generation. Hanna-Barbera Productions cartooned unthinkable technology in each futuristic episode. Below is a short list of “FAR OUT” technology available only to George Jetson (and in the imagination of the writers) a half century ago that actually exists today. And with the recent successful takeoff and landing of an automobile on August 25, 2020 in Japan, the list just got a little longer.

“Dealers need to provide customers with a consistent, relevant, seamless experience throughout each stage of purchasing, including the dealership website.” – David Boice Recently, I attended a webinar given by David Boice, CEO and founder of a company called Advid. It was titled, “Lessons from Amazon Prime: evolving the consumer experience in the digital era.” I thought Mr. Boice had some important things to say about what consumers think and feel when they start their search for a new car, and I wanted to share this with our readers. To understand his message, we have to start at the beginning of the consumer buying experience.
