Nexteppe: product details
Nexteppe has provided inventory lot services since 1999 from Holbrook, New York, and says it serves dealers in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Georgia, Florida and Texas. Its staff photograph used vehicles, write descriptions, stage cars to show interior and exterior features and post classified listings.
ProShots offers studio-quality images shot indoors or outdoors and sent to websites and listing providers. It serves six states.
This is a local service, so a dealer should confirm coverage in its area, how many days elapse between a car's arrival and its listing, how photos are tagged to stock numbers and what each per-car service costs. Local coverage decides value.
