The AutoLoop History

Building on the past, working for the future

From its very conception, AutoLoop was designed to enhance the connection between dealerships and their customers. Using innovative technologies, we set out to build a marketing/communication platform that could maximize retention rates and ultimately boost dealer profits.

It took years of development, practical applications and extensive field testing, but our unique concept of fully integrated programming has won us fans and accolades, and we have stood by our commitment to deliver a single-source advanced marketing platform.

Today, we serve over 2000 dealers, plus large groups and manufacturers with our staff of nearly 200 professionals focused on providing them great service. We analyze millions of data files every day, seeking newer and better ways to target customers and influence their automotive decisions. We’ve adopted an industry-changing axiom of “Retention through Engagement”—and our dealers are benefitting.

At AutoLoop, we will always be “under construction.” We’re committed to learning from experience, constantly exploring new ways to enhance customer engagement and retention. Our future success will parallel the success of our dealers as we seek a great return on investment for all.
