Take on the giants at every rooftop
Carvana and CarMax now sell one in every 13 used cars a dealer sells, and they got there on the buying experience rather than on inventory or price. Ekho puts that same experience on your brand, at every rooftop, without adding headcount to run it.

Every 39 seconds, Carvana sells a car one of your rooftops could have sold
197,325 cars last quarter, up 38% in a year, with no showroom and no lot. They have told investors the plan is 4 times that.
None of it needs anything a dealer cannot have. It needs one buying experience that finishes the deal online. Ekho gives every rooftop the same buying experience on your own brand, with your inventory and your lenders.
See it on your inventoryNew cars are next. Seven Stellantis franchises bought. One turned into the top-selling Chrysler-Jeep-Ram-Dodge store in the country.
Carvana reported results. Q2 2026. Their 3M goal is stated for 2030 to 2035; the chart shows the near end. Running total projected from their reported pace.
THE VALUE
What changes across a group
- 01
One standard at every rooftop
Your best location replies in minutes and your worst in days. Ekho makes it seconds everywhere, with one dashboard showing response times, conversion, and missed leads by location and at group level.
- 02
Volume you cannot reach today
70% of Ekho buyers say they probably or definitely would not have purchased without the online option, 40% are buying that vehicle type for the first time, and 88% are younger than the average vehicle buyer. This is a different buyer than the one on your lot.
- 03
Growth without growing payroll
Titling, registration, tax remittance, insurance, signing, and fraud all run inside the platform, so your title team supervises exceptions instead of processing every deal. Capacity scales with software.
One platform.
Every part of the sale.
Think of it as the Shopify® for dealerships — but with vehicle sale compliance, financing, titling, and registration baked in. We don't just collect leads. We actually do the work.
Your best sales rep — available 24/7. Ekho's AI Business Development Center responds to every lead instantly, qualifies buyers, answers inventory questions, and books appointments — so your team focuses on deals that are ready to close, not chasing cold inquiries.

How the industry is moving with Ekho
Dealers closing more deals. Groups scaling without adding headcount. Teams selling long after the doors are locked. These are the businesses that rewired how they sell with Ekho.
“That's why I committed so heavily to Ekho... Look at the dominant position Carvana has had... Their competitors have two options: it's either adapt or die. I chose to adapt.”
“Ekho gives us the infrastructure to take what we've built regionally and offer it to riders across the country.”
