Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Does WheelsAI require me to cancel MOTORS?
No. Decide separately which advertising, website or finance services remain useful. WheelsAI replaces the back-office workflow; it does not claim that every MOTORS service is unnecessary.
Does WheelsAI arrange motor finance?
No. WheelsAI shows illustrative finance-calculator figures only. It does not submit a credit application, connect the buyer to a lender or approve finance.
How should I compare the cost?
Compare the actual products, channel fees and staff workflow you use today with the WheelsAI plan that fits your active stock. Do not count AutoTrader spend as a saving because that account remains a separate channel.
