14 Years ago we signed up with another car dealership web provider! (you know who you are!!!) and although the cost of the package at the time seemed extortionate we were promised that the long term savings would pay off as the onboarding price would remain the same and there would never be an increase in our pricing, a couple of years ago our web provider got bought our by a finance company and several months later we received a letter letting us know the price would be going up!
Having made several calls and complaints it was clear that they felt we would be unlikely to leave them so a lump it or leave attitude on there part was very apparent.
They even told us that a few garages had left to go to car dealer 5 but they had come back to them with their tails between their legs after a few weeks.
MORE BS!
WE LEFT! out of principle really!
Although moving web providers seemed like a HUGE pain in the bum and the thought of hours of work changing things over was very daunting i have to say the move to car dealer 5 was a breeze, NOT only did we save £3000 per annum which is a fantastic saving but the transition was seamless, they did practically everything, our new website had a fresh look, the platform was easy to use and navigate, all of our support questions of which there were many! were answered mostly within hours and apart from a few minor hiccups we were up and running back at full capacity within 4 weeks, We are now in our second year and we have not looked back once.
My advice to you is your unhappy with your current provider don't hesitate to move.
