AOL Autos and CarWoo! Forge Partnership
NEW YORK — AOL Autos is teaming up with CarWoo! to deliver a new car-buying experience, the two companies announced this week.
The partnership provides “Best Offer” deals from more than 10,000 U.S. dealers and allows more buyers to quickly and easily negotiate great market prices on their chosen vehicle while retaining their privacy before stepping into the showroom. AOL Autos provides original content from industry experts, simple and effective shopping tools for new and used vehicles and expert advice for vehicle ownership and repairs.
“Like AOL Autos, CarWoo! has the same philosophy of putting the customer’s experience first,” said Chris Eschenburg, vice president and general manager of AOL Autos. “This new partnership will allow consumers to shop for cars online, anonymously communicate with top-rated dealers to find the perfect car and negotiate a great price — it's a different and better way to shop for cars.”
CarWoo! CEO Tommy McClung added, “AOL Autos is respected for providing a great suite of resources to consumers as they shop for one of the biggest purchases they will ever make — their car. We know that CarWoo!’s service of helping people get the right car in the easiest, most efficient way is the right complement to the value AOL provides community members.”
