LOS ANGELES — Westlake Financial Services, a full-spectrum auto finance company, has integrated with Nowcom Corporation’s newly redesigned DealerCenter 7 Website, which features a dealer management system and a streamlined user experience that aims to help dealers structure and submit deals to Westlake.
One highlight of DealerCenter 7 is its wizard-driven approach to structuring deals. By simply inputting the customer’s down payment and desired monthly payment, the Deal Wizard will analyze the customer’s credit and automatically structure an approval for every qualifying vehicle on the dealer’s lot using Westlake’s patented Buy Program software. The results are arranged in order of potential profit.
“With the wide spectrum of programs that we offer, it’s easy to miss the little things that could qualify the customer for a better rate and give the dealer a bigger net check,” said Mark Vazquez, a sales executive at Westlake. “The Deal Wizard tool can help the dealer catch those things and turn a ‘good’ deal into a ‘great’ deal.”
Dealers can get a hands-on preview of the new site by visiting Westlake at is booth (1321) at this year’s NADA Convention in Orlando, Florida, February 13-15.
