- My company provides the service of uploading and maintaining online inventory for Auto Dealerships including the distribution of photos and descriptions to 3rd party websites and dealer websites through Autobase, Inc. We have both an outside service in which we come to the dealer and photograph and sticker vehicles, and an in house solution for dealers who prefer to do this themselves.
We also offer a "high line" photography package to dealers for use in any ad media they desire.
We have been in business since November of 2003. We currently have 35 dealers using our service with steady growth every year. We recently expanded to New Mexico and are looking for other markets to continue our expansion efforts.
I have an automotive background dating back to 1988. I started on the retail side, selling cars. I held other positions in dealerships, including F&I, New Car Sales Manager, and Internet Director. I worked as a consultant for dealers under the employment of HAC Group. Before being purchased by Reynolds and Reynolds, we were the pioneers of Internet Sales Processes for practical use in dealerships across the country. I was also part of a seminar team that raised awareness of the Internet for Subaru, and helped introduce Ford Direct to its dealers.
I have a passion for helping my dealers utilize the internet to their maximum potential. After all, the internet has become the "front line" of the dealership. That is why we also offer training and consulting packages as well. We can do a one time analysis of your Internet Department's workings to tweak your process, or build your process from scratch.
I have a beautiful wife, Tamra and 3 great kids, two sons, Justin and Cameron, and a daughter, Rhegan.
Good luck in 2009. I hope this system leads to some great sharing of knowledge and help for each other.

Good help is hard to find.
We are always looking for people to photograph cars for us. When we get an applicant, I send them instructions with some sample shots to duplicate using their own camera and car. This does two things for me. It shows me if they can follow directions and hold a camera straight. The samples are like these.

Tim's a wonderful man to know. Feel free to contact me direct via cell 530-314-0487 or email bobby@vipautoslive.com. I know of your business model from Tim and believe that my product could absolutely compliment your service. Cheers
I just requested you as a friend so now for that comment you better accept it!
LOL! Have a great weekend!!!
I saw that you posted on a mobile solutions forum. What if I told you that you could simply take a picture of a vehicle with your cell phone and have the vehicles link or information sent right back to your phone through text or email?
Visit my page to see that solution, one of many that we have to offer for dealers and private sellers alike. Since you offer photography solutions for dealers, we require multiple pictures of the vehicle for our image technology to work...there might be some partnership opportunities as well.
Feel free to email me at Evan@ViralMesh.com or call my office at 312.752.4348 ext 3. to discuss if you would like. Thanks!
