The situation

Car dealerships

When buyers request test drives online or at a showroom, sales teams need a reliable yet personal way to confirm bookings and provide timely answers.

A practical workflow

  1. A new test drive request is received through your website or CRM.
  2. Sales rep uses SMSMobileAPI to send a confirmation text or reply to questions directly from your dealership number.
  3. SMS conversations can be managed via dashboard, API, or auto-response workflows—enabling rapid scheduling.

Example SMS

Hi Jordan, thanks for your interest in the Civic! We can offer a test drive at 3:00pm tomorrow. Reply YES to confirm or suggest another time.

Why it helps

More engaged prospects, streamlined test drive scheduling, and conversations that all staff can access for seamless handover.

What to check first

Do not confirm availability or financial terms without verifying details internally. Availability and finance terms must be checked by staff before sending.

Questions for this activity

Can messages be sent automatically after a web inquiry?

Yes, workflow automation lets you trigger messages from webforms or CRM stages, with manual approval or auto-send options.

What if multiple sales reps want to reply to one buyer?

The dashboard shows all history for that number, so your team can coordinate replies and avoid duplicates.
