The program is powered by AutoTrader.com's dealer locator technology which allows users the opportunity not only to find a dealer geographically close to them, but also to find retailers who provide special financing, offers, particular services, inventory types, languages spoken and particular amenities, among other features. This technology ensures shoppers find the best dealer to meet their specific needs.
