Our Story
When COVID-19 began to affect the dealership marketplace, the automotive industry shifted focus quickly to digital marketing solutions. Dealers wanted to know which tool to use, investors wanted to know where to invest, and vendors wanted to know how they stacked up against their competition. This data did not exist.
Industry veterans Brian Reed, Steve Greenfield, and Andrew Gordon recognized the need to gain insights into the automotive market in order for dealers, investors, and vendors to make informed decisions moving forward. With access to dealership, vehicle, market pricing, cost of ownership, vehicle history data, and more, Automotive Market Data was founded.
