DAYTON, OhioCarLocate.com, a nationwide new- and used-car search portal, added the “Socialize” page on its Website to make it easier for consumers to join in the car-buying conversation with CarLocate.com and other consumers on the site.

The Socialize page brings together a number of resources to help consumers find relevant information about cars, the car-buying process and to interact with the CarLocate.com team and other car shoppers. On the Socialize page, consumers can easily find the most recent topics from the CarLocate.com blog and automotive forum, which were previously only available on separate areas across the site. Socialize also enables you to quickly browse information about CarLocate.com’s activities, contests, events, and social media.

“Car shopping on the Web too often can feel like a one-sided experience,” said Nicole Case, general manager of CarLocate.com. “But we know that consumers typically reach out to others to help them make the best decision on which car to buy. That’s why we’ve added features to help connect consumers with other consumers, such as our automotive forum or the ‘Share’ button. With the addition of the Socialize page, we’re now making it even easier for you to join in the conversation and connect with us and other consumers during the car-buying process.”

On the Socialize page:

Blog: Find out the latest news and information from the automotive industry and about car shopping.

Automotive Forum: Connect with other consumers to benefit from each other’s insights and experiences with cars and car buying.

Social Media: View CarLocate.com’s latest Facebook and Twitter posts.
