AI lead conversion for car dealerships: every WhatsApp enquiry turned into a test drive
For a car dealership, Theron AI replies in seconds, 24/7, to every enquiry about a car on WhatsApp, email or the website, finds out the model, budget, financing and any trade-in, and books the test drive or showroom visit. Final offers and trade-in valuations go to a salesperson. Everything is built and run by Theron, with a performance guarantee.
What Theron does for car dealerships and showrooms
- Replies in seconds, 24/7, on WhatsApp, email and website forms (phone calls are optional), in whatever language the client writes in.
- Qualifies every lead: the model they want, budget, leasing, loan or cash, any trade-in and when they want to buy.
- Books straight into the calendar: the test drive or visit goes into the salesperson's calendar.
- Hands anything involving final offers, trade-in valuations and financing terms to a person on your team. It never improvises.
- Sends automatic reminders 24 hours and 2 hours before, so fewer people no-show.
- In week one it reactivates old leads: people who asked for an offer and never came back get a personal follow-up with what's new in stock.
- You get a conversion report every month and can see every conversation in your portal.
What your clients ask, and what they get back
Before launch, Theron learns your services, prices, hours and rules. Then it answers messages like:
- "Do you still have the car from the listing?"
- "What's the monthly leasing payment?"
- "Will you take my car as a trade-in?"
- "Can I test drive it tomorrow?"
- "What warranty does it have?"
It understands text, voice notes, images and documents. When a question falls outside what you approved, it doesn't make things up: it takes the client's details and routes them to the right person.
What it costs, compared with the alternative
A full-time receptionist in Romania costs around 4,500-6,000 lei a month and covers 8 hours a day, less than a quarter of the week. Theron answers 168 hours a week, on every channel at once.
Theron is a setup fee plus a fixed monthly fee, with no per-message billing and no minimum term. The exact amount depends on volume and channels and you get it on the first call. The fair comparison isn't a chatbot's price, it's the value of a single lost client: one extra car sold brings a margin far above the cost of a month.
The guarantee
- 30-day money-back on the first month.
- If the target agreed on the first call isn't hit by day 90, invoicing stops and we keep working for free for up to 3 more months until it is.
- If it still isn't hit by month six, either side can walk away at no further cost.
You configure nothing
Theron builds, installs and runs everything. You approve the answers and see results in your portal. If something breaks, that's our responsibility, not yours.
Client data lives on Theron's own infrastructure, not with the messaging provider, under a signed DPA, encrypted, and deleted automatically on a fixed schedule. Clients are told they're talking to an AI assistant, as the EU AI Act requires.
We take on two businesses at a time so every rollout gets full attention.
Frequently asked questions
Can the AI answer stock questions?
Yes, from the stock list your team keeps up to date. When a car is gone, it suggests close alternatives.
Does it calculate leasing payments?
It gives the ranges and examples you approve. Exact financing offers come from the salesperson.
Does it work outside showroom hours?
Yes. Many buyers write in the evening and at weekends; Theron replies right away and books their visit for the next working day.
Does it reply in Romanian?
Yes. It replies naturally in whatever language the client writes in: Romanian, English or any other.
What if it doesn't deliver results?
You get a 30-day money-back on the first month. If the agreed target isn't hit by day 90, invoicing stops and we keep working for free for up to 3 more months until it is.
