SALT LAKE CITY, May 26, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Larry H.
Miller Dealerships announced today the launch of LHM Fast Pass, an
integrated online to in-store solution to purchasing or leasing a
new or used vehicle. LHM Fast Pass allows customers the opportunity
to nearly complete the car buying process online.
"LHM Fast Pass provides a seamless experience for customers to
search, select and reserve a vehicle online; it allows customers
the ability to manage their own deal from the start," said
Dean Fitzpatrick, president, Larry
H. Miller Dealerships. "As more consumers conduct their research
online prior to entering the store, we feel it is the next
evolution in the car buying experience. Customers value their time
and are looking for efficiency, and LHM Fast Pass empowers the
customer to structure a deal to meet their needs."
Customers visiting a Larry H.
Miller dealership website begin by viewing the store's
inventory, selecting a new or used vehicle they're interested in
and then clicking on the "LHM Fast Pass" icon. Customers then enter
their information, apply for approval, and make a deposit via
PayPal in order to reserve the vehicle for 24 hours. They may also
get an online valuation for their trade. During that time, a
salesperson from the store will contact the customer to schedule an
appointment to complete final paperwork. Once the customer arrives
at the store, their vehicle will be washed and detailed and waiting
in the delivery bay.
"We are continually looking for ways to improve the quality of
life for our customers," said LHM Dealerships Senior Vice President
of Marketing Paul Nygaard. "LHM Fast
Pass will allow our customers to spend more time with their family
and friends and less time shopping for a car."
If the customer is making a trade, a trade appraisal specialist
will be available to ensure the customer gets the maximum value.
Customers will also have the option of signing up for a price alert
on a used car, where they'll received a notification every time the
price of the vehicle drops as long as the car remains on the
lot.
LHM Fast Pass is initially launching in select stores in
Salt Lake City, Utah; Colorado Springs, Colo.; Albuquerque, N.M. and Spokane, Wash. The program will launch in all
54 dealerships throughout the western region by late summer
2015.
