Frequently asked
How Dealership Genius works
Plans, users, trials and the kind of answers you can expect.
How does it work?
Ask a real question the way you would ask a trusted operator, about a department, a number, a person problem or a project, and you get a direct answer, the reasoning behind it and the exact next steps.
Alongside that you get a knowledge base organized by every dealership discipline, so you can read a full briefing on a subject instead of only asking one-off questions.
How much does it cost?
Dealership Genius is $195 per month. Dealership Genius Pro is $395 per month.
No setup fees and no contracts, it is month to month.
How many users are included with the dealership plan?
Up to 5 users are included with Dealership Genius. Additional users are $39 per month each.
What is the difference with Dealership Genius Pro?
Pro includes everything in the base plan plus unlimited users across every rooftop, training outlines you can run in any department meeting, blueprints you can build and manage as your own action plans, the full insight articles library, and early access to new features.
Can I upgrade or downgrade at any time?
Yes. Switch plans whenever you want and the change takes effect immediately, with the difference prorated on your next invoice.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Cancel whenever you like and you keep access through the end of the period you have already paid for.
Is there a free trial?
Yes, a 7-day free trial. You add a card at signup, get full access right away, and are not billed until the trial ends.
Can we update our dealership information to customize the answers, blueprints, and training in Dealership Genius Pro?
Yes. Pro members can enter their store details, rooftops and brands, monthly new and used volume, staffing, effective labor rate, used vehicle days supply, lead response and closing rates, and current focus areas.
Blueprints, training outlines and articles then reflect your actual numbers and priorities instead of generic benchmarks.
What type of insights are available?
Playbooks, operating principles, process frameworks, warnings, metrics and predictions, across new cars, used cars, inventory management, fixed operations, F&I, digital retailing, marketing and leads, staffing and retention, leadership and culture, AI, capital allocation, compliance, cybersecurity, EVs, DMS and profitability.
