AutoGravity

By Bayle Emlein

The 20th Century created several opportunities to compare modern life to going to the dentist for a root canal. Car shopping was certainly one of them. The 21st Century creates solutions, and AutoGravity is one of them. The AutoGravity app takes the stress out of car shopping and levels the playing field. No more condescending looks from salespeople–if they deign to glance my way at all–because I’m female. The app combines shopping and financing, taking the pain out for consumers, dealers and lenders. Down load the app, enter the make (42 auto brands offered) and accessories you want, and from your phone screen you will see up to 4 offers. Convenience is definitely one of the assets of AutoGravity. You don’t even have to put on your slippers. State-of-the-art security and bank-level encryption protect users’ data.

AutoGravity offers nationwide coverage. Some of the online customer complaints revolve around limited choices in some areas. That’s true in the brick-and-mortar world as well, and you don’t have to waste a whole lot of gas to find that out.

On July 06, 2017 VW Credit, Inc. (VCI) announced that it had committed to make an equity investment in AutoGravity, pending customary regulatory approvals. This investment supports VCI’s goal to create a digital experience that enhances the customer financing process. Additionally, VW Credit, Inc., has worked with AutoGravity to bring Volkswagen and Audi financing directly to car buyers across the United States by launching the Volkswagen Credit smartphone app, powered by proprietary AutoGravity technology and available for both iOS and Android.

“Mobile technology is a game changer for consumers, dealers and lenders. We have pioneered a digital experience that saves time and improves satisfaction for all parties through a device we are intimately familiar with – the smartphone.” said Andy Hinrichs, CEO at AutoGravity press release regarding the new investment in AutoGravity. “AutoGravity has experienced substantial growth since our first app hit the marketplace in the summer of 2016. This investment will help us accelerate in the face of rapidly growing consumer and industry demand.”
