The newest consumer-oriented car buying site in Hampton Roads and Tidewater Virginia has been created by a couple who just got tired of the games that car dealers tend to play with buyers, even in today's internet empowered world.
Scott and Pam Colley, the two creators of http://www.MyBestCarDeals.com website, got fed up with the old school games and tactics some car dealers still employ on consumers, and rather than continue to complain, they just created a website to put consumers back in control.
The Colley's approached new car dealers throughout the Tidewater and Hampton Roads, Virginia area and explained the sites basic principle:
The Tidewater Virginia car dealers allowed to be on the My Best Car Deals consumer car buying site would be pre-screened for high customer satisfaction ratings and customer treatment, so that the car buying consumers would only be dealing with the highest rated dealers in the Hampton Roads area.
In another consumer-oriented twist rarely found on such car shopping sites, the Colley's also tell the dealers that if legitimate consumer complaints arise that remain unresolved, the dealer in question will be removed from the site until their customer satisfaction scores are improved.
Another unique twist to the Colley's My Best Car Deals website is that they also pre-screen used car dealers for inclusion into the site, and even 'buy here pay here' dealers, which tend to never be focused on by most car shopping sites.
Pam Colley said that "many 'buy here pay here' car dealers are truly today's last chance for a car loan if a consumer has been directly affected by the economic meltdown happening all across our country. Many families have been devastated in this economy, which means their credit has been destroyed most times, too, and the 'buy here pay here' car dealer becomes their last chance to still buy a car, while rebuilding their credit.
Scott and Pam said they "were not sure what the response of the Tidewater car dealers would be when confronted with a truly consumer-controlled, oriented and focused car buying site".
The very first dealer the Colley's approached in the Tidewater area answered the question in a very direct and amazing fashion: They signed up every one of their stores during the first meeting.
"That Tidewater dealer, RK Chevrolet, Subaru, Toyota and Scion became our inaugural dealer", Scott Colley says. "and what's more, Tom Bates, RK's longtime GM and co-owner also insisted on getting all their used car stores included, too."
"We went from a proposal of our services to a contract in literally half an hour, and we knew we were on to something", Pam finishes.
Scott continues, "Our site includes the best Tidewater car dealers in the following cities: Williamsburg, Newport News, Yorktown, Poquoson, Hampton, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, Suffolk, Smithfield, and the Eastern Shore."
"Our dealers represent every make and model of new and used cars sold, and they understand that our consumers just want to make car buying easy, simple and fun, period."
"We were unsure how our potential customers would perceive the website, and like all new businesses, we were looking forward to that first customer logging into the site and asking for a car quote, but that question was answered in quick fashion as well", Pam says with a smile.
"We launched the http://www.MyBestCarDeals.com on a weekend, and within 12 hours we had our first car buying request", Pam says.
"We were happy and elated that we connected so quickly with an audience that needed our service", Scott continues.
"We have had over 2000 page views to the site in just 3 weeks, and we are increasing that by 120% this month coming up from what our statistics tell us", Scott says with a smile.
"We've actually had consumers from as far away as Washington state find our site and call or email asking if we worked with car dealers in their area" Pam chimes in, and then finishes "that tells us their is a market out there that like us, just wants to take control back of their car buying experience, and be treated with the respect they and their money deserve"
The Colley's plan on rolling out the website city by city and state by state as they expand their consumer reach and interest, and with the pace they are on, that looks like it will happen sooner rather than later.
