And when a service customer defects, they can walk with $12,000+ in lifetime service spend. Every call that goes to voicemail is a shot at losing one. — Cox Automotive

The recall moat

A VIN becomes a captured, reimbursable repair lead.

When a caller gives a plate or VIN, Mariontek checks it for open recalls and captures the request for your team — labor the manufacturer reimburses, and work that only a franchised dealer of that make can legally perform. Every open-recall vehicle in your market belongs in your service lane, not the independent's.

Speed to lead · sales

First to answer wins the sale.

Phone buyers are your highest-intent leads — and the first ones a busy floor drops. Answer them live and you catch the money the web forms never make.

14% vs 6%

Phone sales leads close at roughly 14% — more than double the ~6% of internet leads — and set appointments at 73–81% vs 32–41%. — Foureyes / Urban Science

Respond in 5 minutes instead of 30 and you're up to 21× more likely to qualify the lead. Mariontek answers on the first ring, day or night. — MIT / Lead Response Management

Works with your CRM · compliant by default

Leads land in the tools you already run.

Native ADF/XML

Every captured lead flows into VinSolutions, Elead, or DealerSocket as ADF — the universal automotive lead format your CRM already ingests. Nothing to rip out.

No DMS integration to fight

Mariontek doesn't touch Reynolds, CDK, or Tekion. It makes your existing stack better instead of replacing it.

All-party consent, built in

Every call opens with the recording disclosure that satisfies all-party-consent states. Inbound capture stays clear of outbound-campaign consent rules.

Answers in Spanish

A store that answers in Spanish captures callers its competitors leave on hold — qualified and captured in their language; the lead lands in your CRM in English, ready to work.

Pricing
