Competitor price tracking for dealerships

Know what the lots around you are asking.

AXLE places observed competitor listings on a map around your rooftop, highlights the dealers you track and shows how asking prices move by model, so a rival’s price cut is something you notice, not something a buyer tells you.

The challenge

Tracking competitors honestly

Watching competitors usually means checking their websites one at a time. It is slow, and it creates a false sense of completeness: the three lots you check are not the market, and an advertised price is not a sale.

Useful competitor tracking does two things. It shows observed asking prices across the lots around you, with your tracked rivals easy to pick out, and it is honest about coverage: what the data includes, how current it is, and that a listing that disappears has not necessarily sold.

The workflow

How AXLE handles it.

  1. 01

    Add the rivals you watch

    Track the dealerships you compete with most directly; their lots are outlined on the map and in the list.

  2. 02

    Read the market around them

    See rooftop counts and the median ask in your radius, not only the lots you happened to check.

  3. 03

    Watch the movers

    The Market Report shows which models’ median asking rose or fell most since the last period.

  4. 04

    Compare one car

    Open a car in Comps to see exactly which competitor listings it is being compared with.

Focused reviews

Spend price-review time on the cars most exposed to a competitor’s move.

Features this uses

Does AXLE show competitors’ sale prices?

No. AXLE shows observed asking prices from public listings. Where the feed records sales it says so; a removed listing is not treated as a sale.

How many competitors can I track?

Track the rooftops you compete with directly; every other lot in the radius is still shown on the map.

Is the coverage complete?

Coverage depends on the public listings available in your market. AXLE shows coverage per market rather than implying it is complete.
