Configure Automotive Chat for Test Drive Requests
Your AI sales assistant works like a car dealership chatbot for lead qualification. It engages every website visitor, identifies the vehicle they want, qualifies budget and purchase timeline, and books test drives directly on your sales team's calendar.

Built for Automotive Sales Professionals
Configurable AI conversation flows designed around common qualification and booking steps in this industry.
Vehicle Preference Detection
The AI identifies what type of vehicle the visitor wants: sedan, SUV, truck, van, sports car, or luxury. This information helps your sales team prepare the right vehicles before the test drive.
Buy New, Used, Lease & Trade-In
Whether a prospect wants to buy new, buy used, lease, or trade in, the AI adapts its qualification questions. Trade-in prospects are asked about their current vehicle for valuation.
Budget Qualification
The AI captures monthly payment preference or total budget in a conversational way. No pressure, no hard sells. Qualified prospects are matched with vehicles in their price range.
Automatic Test Drive Booking
Qualified prospects get offered available test drive slots from your sales team's calendar. They pick a time, and your team gets a notification with all prospect details.
Works on Any Dealership Website
Add the AI chat widget to a compatible dealership site, VDP page, or inventory landing page with a script tag.
After-Hours Lead Capture
Keep a configured dealership chat workflow available outside business hours so shoppers can share vehicle preferences and request a test drive whenever they visit.
See the AI in Action
This fictional example shows how a configured conversation could unfold with a automotive sales lead. It is not a customer transcript or performance claim.
Hi! Welcome to [Your Dealership]. Looking for a new ride? I can help you find the right vehicle and schedule a test drive.
Yeah, I'm looking for a new SUV for my family.
Great choice! SUVs are perfect for families. Are you looking to buy new, or would a certified pre-owned work too?
New. Budget around $45k. Need 3-row seating.
A 3-row SUV in the $45k range gives you some great options! When are you hoping to make the purchase?
Within the next month. Our lease is ending.
Perfect timing! Our sales rep Mike can set you up with a test drive. Available slots: 1) Saturday at 11 AM, 2) Monday at 3 PM. Which works?
Saturday at 11 AM!

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the dealership chat software work?
Add a single script tag to your dealership website. The AI chat widget appears as a floating button. When visitors click it, an AI sales assistant engages them in natural conversation, asks about vehicle preferences, budget, and timeline, then books test drives on your sales team's calendar.
Can the AI handle different vehicle types?
Yes. The AI identifies whether the prospect wants a sedan, SUV, truck, van, sports car, or luxury vehicle. It also differentiates between buy new, buy used, lease, and trade-in intent, adapting the conversation accordingly.
What dealership websites does it work on?
The OnLeads widget works on any dealership website — WordPress, custom-built, or dealer platform sites. Just paste a single script tag and the AI chat is live, qualifying visitors and booking test drives automatically.
Is this automotive live chat or an AI chatbot?
OnLeads is an AI chat widget, not a staffed live chat desk. It gives shoppers an instant chat experience, qualifies car buyers consistently, and hands qualified leads or booked test drives to your sales team with full context.
How accurate is the AI at qualifying car buyers?
The AI uses a confidence scoring system with industry-specific weights for intent, vehicle type, budget, and timeline. Prospects that score above the booking threshold are offered test drives. You can adjust these thresholds in your dashboard settings.
Can multiple sales reps use it?
Yes. The Team plan supports multiple sales reps with round-robin lead routing, capacity management, and individual calendars. Each rep gets their own dashboard view while managers see the full picture.
