Dealer Solutions: How We Help You Sell More Vehicles
Customization That Sells—The New Era of Dealership Differentiation
In today’s crowded automotive marketplace, standing out requires more than just a good deal. It demands distinction. Buyers want more than transportation; they want personalization. Pre-customized vehicles that reflect individual style and convenience are no longer a luxury; they’re an expectation.
According to SEMA, accessories and personalization not only satisfy consumer desire but also significantly enhance dealership profit margins. In fact, dealers who proactively outfit vehicles with custom upgrades report faster sales cycles and higher per-vehicle profits.
Partner with Auto Additions to stand out from the crowd.

Dealership Challenges and the Power of Customization
Pain Points Dealers Face Today
Modern dealerships are under immense pressure. Inventory turns slowly, competition is fierce, and margins are razor-thin. Add to that the hassle of coordinating with multiple vendors for custom installs—and it’s no wonder dealerships are looking for a better way.
Today’s car buyers prioritize features like heated seats, window tint, and remote start systems—before even signing the paperwork. However, for many dealers, the logistics of customization pose a significant roadblock. Delayed installs, warranty confusion, and workflow disruptions can kill momentum and sales alike.
Let Auto Additions handle the hassle while you close the sale.
Why Vehicle Personalization Works
Preloaded accessories aren’t just a trend—they’re a sales accelerator. According to data from SEMA, dealerships that offer custom-ready vehicles experience quicker decision-making from buyers and higher buyer satisfaction.
Whether it’s leather interiors, ceramic coatings, or lift kits, pre-installed packages help cars sell themselves.

Streamlining Sales Through Value-Added Packages
High-Margin Bundles That Move Inventory Faster
Imagine selling a stock Jeep… or one outfitted with leather seats, a lift kit, running boards, custom wheels, and tires—ready to hit the road.
Which one goes first? Which one nets more profit?
SEMA trend research confirms:
Bundled upgrades increase perceived value, boost dealer margins, and accelerate buying decisions.
Real Customer. Real Results.
We found out about Auto Additions through Don Wood Automotive when we purchased our 2019 Jeep Wrangler. They installed a body lift, leather seats, running boards, wheels, and tires—and I couldn’t be happier. We’ve since brought our other vehicles in and worked with Nick on multiple projects. He always goes above and beyond. I don’t trust any other shop to work on our Jeeps.”
