Use two-way SMS to communicate directly with customers throughout the buying and service journey. Respond to vehicle enquiries, confirm test drives, answer questions, share service updates, and follow up after appointments while giving customers an easy way to reply by text.

Friendly and Personal Support

I needed to send myself automated texts, and Notifyre made the process simple. Ryan personally called to help me complete the form, no bots, just real, friendly support from a real person. Excellent start with Notifyre. If this level of customer service continues, I can’t imagine being disappointed and it’ll even handle those few faxes I still have to send each year.

Excellent SMS Service

Great platform to enable SMS marketing for our business. The platform is easy to use, with the ability to set up multiple marketing lists, making campaigns easier without having to tick and untick contacts each time. It would be great if there was a QR code for customers to automatically add their contacts instead of manually entering them. Overall, a great product that's easy to use.

SMS for car dealerships FAQs

How does text marketing for car dealerships work?

It lets your dealership use SMS marketing to send lead follow-ups, appointment reminders, and promotions directly to a customer's phone, and receive replies in the same conversation. You can message one customer about a trade-in or send a mass text to your whole database about an end of month sale.

Can we use text messaging for both sales and service departments?

Yes. Notifyre lets you create and manage separate contact lists for sales leads, current owners, and service customers, helping your teams send relevant messages to the right customer groups.

Is sending emergency SMS to residents or personnel legal under Australian regulations?

Yes, as long as you follow the Spam Act 2003. That means only messaging customers who have consented, clearly identifying your dealership in every message, including a simple way to opt out, and meeting applicable Sender ID requirements.

How quickly can our dealership get set up with Notifyre?

Most car dealerships can start sending SMS quickly, as there’s no software to install for Notifyre’s online SMS platform. If you need to fast-track setup, our team can work with you to get up and running as soon as possible.

How much does SMS marketing cost for a dealership?

Notifyre uses pay-as-you-go pricing with no lock-in contracts, so you only pay for what you send. Dealerships can start small with appointment reminders and scale up to full marketing campaigns once they see the response rates.

Can customers reply to our text messages?

Yes. Notifyre's two-way SMS inbox lets customers reply to confirm a booking, ask a question, or opt out, and your team can respond from the same secure inbox without needing a separate app.
