Overview
UVeye has integrated its automated tire-scanning system with Tire Rack Wholesale’s quoting platform to let dealership service teams generate instant quotes for tire replacements when defects are detected. Reported by Digital Dealer on Jan. 13, the partnership aims to close the gap between identifying an issue in the service lane and presenting a purchase-ready proposal.
How the integration works
- UVeye’s AI flags issues such as low tread depth, uneven wear, mismatched brands, or sidewall damage.
- The system immediately produces a quote alongside the inspection result and opens an OEM-branded Tire Rack Wholesale portal with dealer ID and vehicle make/model/year pre-filled.
- The portal surfaces live dealer-specific pricing and local inventory geared for same-day installation.
Key benefits for dealerships
- Speed and accuracy: moves directly from detection to proposal, reducing manual checks and data entry.
- Fitment accuracy: links recommendations to the vehicle profile captured at check-in to reduce selection errors.
- Seamless workflow: embeds quoting within the inspection report so advisors don’t switch systems or retype details.
- Program alignment: pricing and product choices reflect each store’s tire programs and inventory strategies.
Service lane analytics
The system tracks quote engagement (generated, reviewed, accepted) to measure adoption, ROI, and training opportunities, helping managers see how inspection findings convert to sales.
Rollout and context
- Initial launch with select Subaru retailers; broader timeline not specified.
- Supports the push to digitize service operations by tying inspection results to real-time availability and pricing.
- UVeye characterizes its drive-through scanners as an “MRI for vehicles” (company claim) to emphasize fast, comprehensive inspections.
Why it matters
- Tire sales are a key retention and revenue driver; cumbersome quoting can lead to missed opportunities.
- Immediate, on-lane options increase transparency and help enable same-day installs, improving customer experience and conversion.
