Minneapolis's Automotive Dealer Engineering Partner
For auto dealerships and service groups in and around Minneapolis, we deliver production-grade apps in same-day cadence from our LA HQ — with one team, one codebase, and one price.
The automotive dealer problem in Minneapolis
What's really happening with auto dealerships and service groups here.
The pattern we see
You're running a corporate-headquarters, health systems, well-run automotive dealer business in Minneapolis, and the stack you inherited wasn't built for it. service and sales customer data live in two different DMS silos, trade-in and credit app processes require 4 in-person visits, and service reminders depend on mailers that barely move the needle — three separate symptoms of the same root cause: generic software forcing your team to work around it instead of with it.
How we build for Minneapolis
Not a template. A custom stack, assembled for your operation.
Our approach for Minneapolis auto dealerships and service groups is direct. We replace the patchwork with one custom system. Branded inventory search with saved alerts. In-app service scheduling and reminders. Fully integrated with CDK, Reynolds & Reynolds, Tekion so nothing you already pay for gets thrown out.
Minneapolis's corporate-headquarters, health systems, well-run business community has specific expectations. We design to them. That means a level of polish matched to the North Loop benchmarks, an operational fit tuned to Twin Cities workflows, and integrations that respect the tools Minneapolis auto dealerships and service groups already depend on — CDK, Reynolds & Reynolds, Tekion to name a few.

How we build automotive dealer apps in Minneapolis
Three phases. No surprises.
Ship & Iterate
Your app ships within 6–10 weeks. Weekly release cadence after launch, with product-engineering retainer that treats your automotive dealer business like a product, not a project.
Integrate & Migrate
We migrate your existing data from CDK (and whatever else your Minneapolis team already uses) so day-one launch doesn't lose a single customer or record.
Discovery Call
We meet with your dealer principal and map the exact workflow you run in Twin Cities. No generic discovery templates — the output is a spec tied to unify sales + service customer and pull deals through faster.
Integrations we plug into
Keep the tools your Minneapolis team already knows. We build around them, not over them.
Compliance, architected in
Requirements drive architecture, not retrofits. We scope compliance into the build from day one.
Frequently asked questions
Specific to auto dealerships and service groups in Minneapolis.
Do you work with auto dealerships and service groups outside Minneapolis?
Yes. We serve the full Twin Cities service area within roughly 25 miles of Minneapolis, and we work remotely across the US. Most Minneapolis projects get same-week on-site kickoffs when requested.
What does a automotive dealer app cost for a Minneapolis business?
$850/month, all-in. That covers design, development, hosting, support, and ongoing iteration. No per-seat fees, no per-transaction cuts, no surprise invoices. Most auto dealerships and service groups we work with in Twin Cities recover the monthly cost within the first quarter through unify sales + service customer and pull deals through faster.
What about FTC Safeguards compliance?
Every credit-app data flow is built to the FTC Safeguards Rule — encryption, access controls, audit logging, and written information security policies covered.
Can each rooftop have its own app?
Either a multi-rooftop single app with location switching, or per-rooftop branded apps sharing one backend. We'll recommend the structure that fits your group.
Do we own the code and the data?
Yes. Your codebase, your App Store and Play Store listings, your customer data. If you ever decide to leave, we hand over a clean repo and a documented deployment. No lock-in, no exit fee.
