@utoRevenue generates over $390 Million in

service revenues and sees more customer growth in

tough time for auto dealers


Burt Chevrolet experiences notable growth after five months on the program


LEE, Mass.—Oct. 7, 2008—@utoRevenue®, an industry leader in delivering a full suite of cost-effective customer contact solutions to auto dealerships across the country, and a division of Dominion Enterprises, has announced that in the last 12 months, ending July 31, 2008, gross service revenues generated on behalf of customers topped $390 Million. Following U.S. market trends, @utoRevenue also has seen average repair orders increase from $154 per service visit in August 2007 to $212 in July 2008—a 38% increase.


Amid a challenging retail automotive market, @utoRevenue has remained an integral partner to their customers and saw new unit sales reach an all-time high in the month of August.


“We are proud to be the clear leader in multi-channel marketing solutions for auto dealerships nationwide. @utoRevenue’s foundation in cost-effective online communications has positioned us perfectly in this challenging market,” said @utoRevenue General Manager Brice Englert. “We are seeing a massive shift in marketing values by dealers to follow consumer behavioral changes. We stand ready to assist our customers and to coach them to continued success in this new era.”


Charlie Lamacchia, service director for Burt Chevrolet of Burt Automotive Group, one of the largest dealer groups in the country, has enjoyed tremendous success with @utoRevenue.


“The partnership formed with @utoRevenue has proven to be much more than we initially anticipated.  We have acquired tens of thousands of dollars in just five months on the program from customers we had not seen in our dealership in over a year. The real testimonial, however, is the response from customers that had not been in, in two years or more. Having the opportunity to recapture these customers is priceless and has given us a second chance at hundreds of customers who had been going somewhere else,” said Lamacchia.


”From the sales staff to the in-house creative support, I have been nothing less than completely impressed with the level of professionalism and attention to detail that all members of the @utoRevenue staff exemplify.  I would tell any dealer in any market, big or small, to give @utoRevenue a go. It can only help your business in the ever-changing marketplace,” continued Lamacchia. “Digital media and marketing is the direction the consumer is taking the market and @utoRevenue is on the cutting edge of this opportunity and is unparalleled success.”
