Does Hammer work with DealerCarSearch?

By the Hammer team · Reviewed August 18, 2026

Yes. A lead from your DealerCarSearch site still gets a text in under 5 seconds. Hammer answers it, follows up until they book, and writes the appointment into the CRM you already run. For most Hammer stores, that CRM is DealerCenter.

You keep the website. You keep the desk system. Hammer is the first-reply layer.

What that looks like on DealerCarSearch

A shopper hits your DealerCarSearch site, or Marketplace, Messenger, ads, CarGurus, AutoTrader, OEM, or SMS.
Hammer texts back in under 5 seconds, with real inventory and your store's voice.
Follow-up keeps going. The AI re-reads the thread daily. You edit copy and timing in the Hammer dashboard.
When they book, the appointment is in DealerCenter or whatever CRM you already run. Your closer still desks the deal.

Inbound calls are transcribed and followed up by text. A human can pause the AI or let it continue when they leave the thread.

What it is not

Not a website rebuild. Not a CRM switch. Not an AI voice caller. Independent lots already run DealerCarSearch and DealerCenter. Hammer sits on top of both.
