Albany, N.Y. – February 25, 2019 – Auto/Mate Dealership Systems announced today it has successfully completed all dealership management system (DMS) integrations with GoMoto, a developer of progressive technologies for automotive service lanes and showrooms. Auto/Mate DMS customers now have the option to use GoMoto’s Virtual Service Advisor Platform, a service lane kiosk that provides customers with streamlined, self-led, check-in process.

“Consumers are becoming more used to self-service technology in retail environments, and GoMoto’s platform meets that need in the dealership service department,” said Mike Esposito, president and CEO of Auto/Mate.

Silko Honda in Raynham, MA has been an Auto/Mate customer since 2016. Director of Operations Geoff Ewell agreed to test the integrations and placed two GoMoto kiosks in the dealership’s service drive. “We wanted to create a frictionless environment for our customers where they could make their own choices on their own terms, and not have to wait in any lines to get their vehicle into the service queue,” said Ewell.

For Silko Honda, the Virtual Service Advisor platform increased efficiencies, service advisor selling opportunities and customer satisfaction. “It worked quite well,” Ewell said. “The integrations are seamless and customization options are unlimited. The GoMoto and Auto/Mate teams are excellent to work with and very attentive.”
