We love car dealers!

Wow, that’s a cathartic statement from some technologists. About time someone admitted it right?

Why do we love car dealers?

2/3rds of FRIKINtech’s founders were car dealers. And we weren’t the kind who failed out of the dealership to become vendors. We left lucrative times at our dealer groups to seek a larger vision of helping the greater car retail industry.

What’s up with the gorilla?

He’s been on top of dealerships for decades with his birds-eye view, watching. It is time for him to show dealers a better way.
