Aaron Zeigler Featured In Yahoo Finance & GoBankingRates.com Article:18 Reasons Car Buying Will Never Be the Same Again

Aaron Zeigler, president and owner of Zeigler Auto Group, has been featured in a new article published by GoBankingRates.com & Yahoo Finance covering the new way to buy cars amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

In the article: 18 Reasons Car Buying Will Never Be the Same Again by Gabrielle Olya, Zeigler goes into detail on what his dealership group is doing to ensure customers are still able to purchase vehicles in an efficient and pleasant manner.

Here are some highlights that he discussed:

Online Financing

"We have added additional digital retailing tools to our websites that allow a customer to go as far in the purchase process as they would like from the convenience of their own home," said Aaron Zeigler, president and owner of Zeigler Auto Group.

"These tools are tied in with our lenders, and we can even secure financing and provide bank contracts for electronic signatures remotely.

Phone Sales

Zeigler said that in addition to an increase in online car shopping, he has also seen an uptick in shopping by phone at his dealerships, which he believes will stay consistent after the pandemic.

"Before the stay at home orders, our phone and internet sales represented 48% of our monthly sales volume," he said. "Currently, phone and internet sales represent 76% of our monthly volume. With the tools we are currently offering, customers can minimize the time they spend in dealerships and maximize their enjoyment in buying a new vehicle."

New Permanent Cleaning Routines
At Zeigler's dealerships, a cleaning staff has been disinfecting showrooms on a 30-minute rotation. They have also upped their disinfecting of the cars themselves.

"We are using multiple products that can be applied directly in the climate control of our vehicles that kill 99.99% of bacteria and viruses for up to six months in the cabin," he said. "All of the services we are offering will be permanent."

The Future of The Test Drive

"Any customer that does not want to come to the dealership,we will bring the car to them and sanitize it before the customer looks at it,"Zeigler said.

He said he will continue to offer test drives outside the dealership even after the pandemic ends.

"We want to continue to provide next-level service, and manyof the tools and processes we have implemented were action items that we hadplanned before the current situation," he said.
