New Integrated Platform for the Automotive Industry Auttr.com, a Gateway to Real-Time Information, Unites the Auto Industry with Social Networking and Vehicle Merchandising

Jun 15, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Auttr.com introduces the automotive industry’s most powerful integrated platform for automobile consumers, dealers, vendors, and lenders. Built on the foundation of industry specific and relevant content, Auttr.com provides a deep knowledge base and reference library as a resource to anyone involved in the car buying/sales cycle.

“We are excited to bring this community together,” states Keith Whann, Auttr.com President and CEO. “We started with a social networking portal with auto industry specific content and the concept grew to include a gateway to all things related to the car buying and ownership experience.

The Auttr.com content is presented in a variety of formats and we continue to create partnerships, thereby expanding our library and broadening our reference base.” Auttr.com serves as the entry point for consumers looking to buy or sell a vehicle. It will no longer be necessary to access multiple third party destinations — Auttr.com brings the listings together in one portal. Further, dealers are able to list their cars in a very easy and intuitive searchable interface. The robust library housed on the site includes many informative articles and videos on all aspects of the car buying, selling and ownership experiences.

Enrollment will be opened to the independent dealer community during the National Independent Automobile Dealers Association (NIADA) convention in Las Vegas, June 14 – 17, 2010. Enrollment is free and provides the ability to ask questions and post blogs to Keith Whann — The Car Counselor — the industry’s foremost expert on legal and business issues relating to the retail automobile business.
