Comparison

AutoRelay vs KBB Instant Cash Offer

Stop paying $75 per shared lead. Start acquiring vehicles from your own service lane for a flat monthly fee — no per-lead charges.

KBB Instant Cash Offer sends the same lead to 3-5 competing dealers in your market — you're bidding against neighbors for customers who are already shopping around. AutoRelay captures your own service lane customers before they ever visit KBB, giving you exclusive access to vehicles you can inspect in person.
