“We are excited to be able to offer this new mobile leads program in partnership with Carperks. We aim to keep our dealers ahead of the curb by partnering with the best companies in the industry and capturing and providing the highest quality leads from all leading sources,” said Phil DuPree, president of AutoUSA.

“Carperks’ first to market iPhone app brings serious car buyers from across the U.S. to participating AutoNation and AutoUSA dealers through our patented cost saving product. We are thrilled to be among the first to venture into mobile communications through smartphone apps,” said Carperks’ President, Don Wolfson.

The Carkperks car buying discount iPhone app allows mobile car shoppers to access, search and view car inventory from dealer participants in AutoUSA’s Carperks program. It highlights those dealers within the shopper’s local market area that are available to provide price quotes.

Consumers can search for a dealership based on the vehicle make and model they are interested in and, where allowed by law, immediately generate digitally formatted discount certificates valued at $100 for the new vehicle of their choice.
