Auto/Mate Adds Text Messaging Solution to DMS
Auto/Mate Dealership Systems announced the integration of its dealer management system with the Text2Drive two-way text messaging platform.

ALBANY, N.Y. — Auto/Mate Dealership Systems announced it has successfully completed all dealership management system integrations with Text2Drive, a two-way text messaging platform designed to help dealers improve the customer experience, increase profitability, and raise CSI scores.
Executives said Auto/Mate’s dealership customers now have the option to use Text2Drive’s platform to communicate with sales and service customers.
“Studies show that 98% of text messages are opened and 75% of customers would like special offers sent to them via text message,” said Mike Esposito, president and CEO of Auto/Mate. “We have reached a point where dealerships must embrace and use texting, or they risk being perceived as behind the times.”
“DMS integration allows dealerships to leverage many of our platform’s advanced features such as automated texting, service to sales mining, recall notice marketing and mobile checkout,” said Gregg C Owen, COO of Text2Drive. “Auto/Mate and Text2Drive connecting seamlessly creates a synergy that provides simplicity with intelligent automation that is unrivaled.”
