Get the Trade-Ins You're Actually Trying to Buy.
Clutched helps car dealerships buy exactly the vehicles they're targeting, by generating and matching qualified lead against what they're actually trying to acquire.
Works with your CRM/DMS Setup in days
You already have the sellers. They just leave with someone else's offer.
You pay for the traffic
Your website and ad spend already bring in owners who want to sell or trade.
It leaks to CarMax or Carvana
With no tool to capture them, they get an instant offer from CarMax or Carvana, and you never see the lead.
You overpay at auction
So you go buy the same kind of vehicle at auction, paying fees, transport, and premium prices.
Clutched closes that loop. See how
One store. 1,852 trade-in leads from traffic that was already there.
This is not a vendor pitch. It is what happened when this exact mechanic ran on a real dealership's traffic for eight months, built by someone who watched the numbers come in, not someone reading a spec sheet.
An independent dealership in Quebec ran real-time valuations with automated SMS follow-up for eight months. The loop held up under real volume, month after month, without a rep in the loop.
The median car in that pipeline was an $18,300 vehicle. That is retail inventory, not auction filler.

How we get you qualified trade-in leads.
Add it to your site and ads
We embed the Clutched tool on your site and any ad landing pages, and connect it to your CRM.
Visitors get an instant value
Sellers enter their vehicle, get a real market value, and you capture the lead before the full number is revealed.
AI matches & closes the loop
The AI confirms condition, qualifies intent, and checks the lead against your acquisition profile before pushing matching trade-in leads to your CRM.
The follow-up is where the money is.
Leads go cold in minutes. The AI agent confirms condition, qualifies intent, and matches it against the vehicles you've told us you're trying to acquire. Only matching leads reach your CRM. It runs nights and weekends, every time.
The valuation gets the seller's attention. The matching is what makes the lead worth something to you.
