Fastlane e-Commerce Platform Gets Car Dealers Up and Running Online Fast to Meet Houstonians' Desperate Need For New Cars

    DALLAS, TX, September 12, 2017 /24-7PressRelease/ -- In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, news outlets are estimating a demand for up to a million new cars in the Houston area. The Washington Post reported on September 3 that Harvey was the most destructive event for cars in the nation's history. Other reports suggest that approximately 85 percent of Houston's car owners have comprehensive car insurance so they will be able to purchase a new car relatively quickly. Some car manufacturers are offering discounts to flood victims.

Fastlane, the car-buying e-commerce startup, has already been very busy helping get car dealers' online presence up and running so they can get their new and certified pre-owned cars in front of these desperate Houston drivers.

"We want to help area car dealers and dealer groups meet this demand," said Brandon Hall, Fastlane's CEO. "Delivering to customers the vehicle they need, as quickly as possible, is the mission of dealers and we're here to make sure this happens without a hitch."

Fastlane's platform offers car dealers the ability to customize and brand their online car buying experience, while providing customers with a start-to-finish purchasing process. Dealers use Fastlane to showcase their inventory, help their customers pick out the car they want, and choose other purchase components such as financing and service contracts.

"Fastlane is a complete car buying system, with advanced features and customizability," said Hall. "The platform seamlessly walks customers through the many aspects of the buying process."

Worth, San Antonio, Austin and in surrounding markets should contact at [email protected] to receive an online demo and discuss the best ways they can use the platform to meet the immediate need for new cars and to build their online sales capability going forward.
