WELCOME TO CARHUB
The Center of a Customer's Automotive Universe
Carhub is a comprehensive automotive portal offering a unique, patent-pending, fully
integrated technology and multimedia platform that connects all facets of the automotive world.
CarHub brings together the best of what the industry has to offer, from compelling automotive research
tools to a robust marketplace fueled by a real-time inventory feed of millions of vehicles.
And we don't stop there.
With innovations like CarTron, a unique customer interface that helps consumers find the best car for them
in mere minutes, and CarHub Connect, our state of the art OBD device and accompanying mobile app, CarHub
now makes the total car ownership experience effortless.
Never before has an automotive portal covered every aspect of the car buying, selling, and ownership
process from start to finish the way CarHub does.
And we make it easy!
CarHub was designed from the ground up by industry experts to be the solution to any car related needs a consumer may have. We not only cover the essentials of buying or selling a car, but also tackle the areas of the industry that are typically neglected by others in the industry.
Now CarHub has a way to help.
We've worked for over two years with renowned psychologists and data scientists to create a test that finds
customers the perfect car to not only match their budget and needs, but also their unique personality
traits.
Meet CarTron ...
According to recent data, nearly 70% of all new car shoppers are undecided about which specific car to
purchase, but nearly all of today's existing sites assume that
their users already know exactly what they're looking for.
CARTRON:
THE SOLUTION FOR UNDECIDED BUYERS
Our exclusive patent-pending Al-based personality and needs quiz finds the perfect car for undecided
buyers.
VALUE ADD
Fun easy quiz.
Accurately provides a percentage match with vehicles that are actually in dealer inventory.
BUSINESS CASE
2/3 of all car shoppers are undecided as to brand/model.
3rd party automotive sites start with make and model.
Massive conversion opportunity for a market base that is severely under-served.
TIME SPENT PER CUSTOMER
CarTron makes a dealer's job infinitely easier by not only matching undecided car buyers to the right car and dealer, but also making them less intimidated by the search process itself, more focused on what they want, and ultimately more motivated to buy.
As a result, now dealers can spend more time showing customers the precise car they're going to respond to enthusiastically and be ready to purchase.
In addition, CarTron-guided consumers are often the highly coveted demographic of undecided buyers not necessarily loyal to a brand or dealership - yet. They’re in the market, ready to buy, and most importantly, often incremental buyers.
With all that Carhub.com offers, by the time customers get to the point of visiting a dealership, they’ll have gathered all the information they need to make delivery fast and easy. Reduced delivery time equals more time for other customers and more sales for dealers.
ONE-STOP SHOP
After CarHub has taken the customer smoothly through the decision process, the next logical question is
“How are you going to pay for your car?”
If the customer intends to finance or lease, CarHub helps prepare any application, and securely
transmits it to the dealer. CarHub does not in anyway interfere with or broker the finance application
for the purchase of the vehicle. We simply hand it over to dealers to make their lives – and
business – easier.
The next question to ask the user is, “Do you have a trade-in?”
If a customer does, CarHub gathers all the relevant details of their vehicle, from its condition to payoff
balance, if any, and electronically transmits this information to the dealer.
By doing this before the customer shows up in person, CarHub allows dealers to know what car a customer
wants, their credit-worthiness, and the value of their trade-in ahead of time, so they can close a deal
in mere minutes - versus the 3 to 4 hours that’s currently the standard in the industry.
CARHUB: DEALER PORTAL
Most dealers complain about how they waste tremendous amounts of time and money sifting through a pool of
extremely poor quality leads.
CarHub’s mission is simple: To make the car buying and selling process easier, faster, and more enjoyable for all
parties involved – and to do it in a way that has no negative impact on a dealership’s business.
We give dealers full control over how they want to run their online presence with CarHub and only show
vehicles on our site in a way that they prefer.
Soon we’ll offer up-front pricing plans that allow dealers to present no-haggle pricing on either all,
some, or none of their vehicles. It is entirely their choice.
We never dictate the terms of how dealers price their vehicles in inventory on our site and never make
DMS access a requirement to work with us.
CARHUB CONNECT/
OWNERSHIP MANAGEMENT
Of the over 260 million cars on the road in the United States currently, only 2-3% of these vehicles are
for sale on any given day. This means there are over 250 million car owners who are not buying and
selling, but still spending money on various aspects of their car ownership - everything from accessories
to maintenance and repairs.
What CarHub does differently than other automotive sites is go beyond just being a buy or sell portal.
We engage this vast untapped market of car owners by helping them manage their ongoing car life in a
way that has never been done before – through our innovative CarHub Connect OBD device.
OBD DEVICE:
CREATES CUSTOMERS FOR LIFE
CarHub Connect: First ever OBD (On-Board Diagnostic) device offered by a third party
automotive site. The unit is free for consumers and dealers with no monthly fees, ever
FREE DEVICE & NO MONTHLY FEES!
CarHub Connect OBD = Consumer Acquisition and Loyalty Device
CarHub Connect is the first OBD II device offered by an automotive portal - and the first of any kind to
be offered for FREE. CarHub doesn't charge our customers for the device or the accompanying CarHub
smartphone app, and we don't charge any recurring or subscription fees.
CarHub Connect fits into any car produced after 1996 and helps consumers manage virtually all parts of
their car ownership experience with ease and convenience.

Not only do we offer CarHub Connect and all its associated services for free to our members, but we are
happy to extend this offer to our Certified Carhub Dealers - for as many units as they'd like to
distribute to customers or even friends and family.
With each car owner who is given the device, the initial default service center of choice, both in the
CarHub app and on CarHub.com, is the dealer who provided it. This means that when CarHub Connect notifies
owners that their car is in need of maintenance or repairs, the original dealership provider is the first
option for all services.
In this way, CarHub Connect creates significantly higher return and loyalty rates for dealership
service departments.
CARHUB IS THE FIRST EVER
AUTOMOTIVE SITE TO...
CarHub also creates exponentially greater user engagement than other sites by using "Sticky Content." This is an important, even vital, part of why CarHub is now the go-to automotive portal.
STICKY CONTENT
Provides constant user engagement with CarHub beyond the car buying/selling process.
All other automotive sites only serve that tiny 2% of consumers who are in-market and may need vehicle
pricing services once every 4 or 5 years, on average. This eliminates the large majority of car owners who need
automotive services on an ongoing basis.
CarHub knows better. That's why we use CarHub Connect, the only rewards program in the industry, and our
cutting edge Multimedia Content to attract users from outside the automotive realm on the Internet. This
not only creates a whole new set of potential users, but keeps CarHub members engaged with CarHub.com so
that it is the leading destination for whatever car needs they may have at any time during their car
ownership experience.
CARHUB CONSUMER USER CYCLE
CarHub creates a compelling set of product offerings that brings your customers in and keeps them there.
