Submit factual information, in one paragraph

Contact Car Dealer Vendors to submit factual information: a new company, product, integration, ownership event or correction, using the form below, so the submission can be checked against a primary source, from a named person or organisation with a stated relationship to the subject, without a follow-up round to fill in what was left out the first time. Legal company, active brand, product name, current URL, markets, dealer segments, ownership and former names.

Every field on this list has shown up missing from a real submission at some point, which is the only reason it made the list. Both products and versions, direction, data objects, method, provider, fees, applicable dealers, confirmation date and source from each side.

Company or product

Legal company, active brand, product name, current URL, markets, dealer segments, ownership and former names. Every field on this list has shown up missing from a real submission at some point, which is the only reason it made the list.

Integration

Both products and versions, direction, data objects, method, provider, fees, applicable dealers, confirmation date and source from each side.

Commercial facts

Pricing model, public starting price if any, term, renewals, implementation, usage, integration and offboarding fees. Vague numbers help nobody.

Relationship disclosure

State whether you are a vendor employee, dealer customer, former customer, consultant, competitor, investor or other interested party. One sentence is enough.

What happens to what you send

A human reads it. A human checks it against a primary source.

Nothing goes onto a mailing list, gets sold, or reaches any vendor. Nobody contacts you about anything beyond your own submission.

The form sends the message directly; nothing is stored in a database on this site, and no analytics run here.

Submissions that are easiest to act on

Name the page URL, the exact field, the proposed replacement and a link to a source that states it. A submission built like that can usually be checked in one pass. A general impression, however accurate, cannot be checked at all, because there is nothing in it to verify against.

If you are the subject of a record

You are welcome to submit scope, ownership, market and product corrections about your own company, and your own site is the controlling source for most of them. Your own evidence status is not yours to supply, though.

Neither is your position relative to another provider, or the removal of a limitation that is accurate. Editorial calls like those stay with the publisher.

Commercial enquiries

Advertising, placement, sponsorship and preferential treatment are not available at any price. The disclosures page states exactly which commercial relationships are possible and what none of them can buy. Enquiries about visibility, not facts, belong on that page instead.

Response expectations

A small research operation runs this, not a support desk. Factual corrections that name a primary source get triaged first.

Everything else gets read in order. Change a record, and you will see it in the change log with a date, whether or not you get a reply.

Submit a correction or a question

So we can reply. Never shown publicly or shared.

For a correction, name the page URL, the exact field and the proposed replacement with a source.
