“I saw an industry that was due for a change. Things have been slow to adapt in the automotive space, and people have lost trust in sales professionals over the years. I wanted to bring the same combination of tech and service to the car buyer that tech giants have brought to retail shoppers,” Says Oz.
A survey of over 500 customers who had recently purchased a car online revealed that 90% of respondents were satisfied or very satisfied with their purchase.
Additionally, the survey found that over 80% of those surveyed felt that buying a car online was faster and more convenient than the traditional offline purchase process (source: Automotive Consumer Survey Company).
With technology quickly advancing, Michael says he adapted to it and set out to create the world’s first online dealership.
Driveoz.com offers services such as vehicle search, financing, trade-in, and delivery of the car right to the buyer’s door. It also offers a hassle-free return policy and an advanced virtual showroom, allowing potential buyers to look at cars from home.
What separates the new platform from others says Oz, is the technology and service behind it.
“We use the newest technology to offer a transparent, 100% online car buying experience, all while still assigning you to one of our agents so that you have a real person to walk you through the process and be there when you have any questions.”
Buying a Vehicle is complex, but Michaels’s mission is to provide utility and simplicity to consumers.
He went on to say: “Our goal is to make buying a car as easy as ordering Amazon, but we understand that cars are complicated and a large purchase, so we assign an Oz Agent to you to walk you through the process and answer all of your questions”
Michael puts it simply: “Imagine an Amazon for cars that has a Geek Squad, that’s DriveOz.com”
DriveOz.com is revolutionizing the industry with its online marketplace, giving car buyers more options and control than ever before. This could be a game changer for the automotive industry, allowing customers to purchase cars more efficiently, faster, and transparently.
While other online car shopping sites exist, they are strictly for buying used vehicles (Carvana/Vroom).
DriveOz is a platform that redefines the experience of getting a new car in a modern and consumer-focused way.
The DriveOz CEO is confident that they will use the process forever once people try it.
“One of the biggest tips I can give anyone looking to buy a car is to think twice if they want to spend hours at multiple dealerships, sometimes just to receive a quote!”
“We make the car buying experience as easy as humanly possible. We offer you transparent pricing and the ability to complete a lease, finance, or cash purchase on any make and model, 100% online and we even deliver it to your front door. Once you shop with us, I am certain you will never step foot in another dealership again.”
The online automotive industry is developing, and companies like DriveOz.com are building on trust. In-person purchases of cars are currently on the decline.
Data shows more than half of Americans don’t trust physical dealerships.
A survey conducted by the Harris Poll, found more than three in five Americans feel taken advantage of when shopping at a car dealership (61 percent) at least some of the time, with 87 percent of Americans disliking something about the process. The survey also found that 33% of women feel the staff is speaking to them disrespectfully at the car dealership.
With the development of technology, post-pandemic planning, and a consumer-driven market, the rise of online automotive services makes sense.
Osturkan says he recently launched version 3.0 of the DriveOz.com website, which now offers pre-owned inventory providing a dealership-level online car-buying platform. The platform is currently the only online option that allows customers to buy new and used vehicles (even offering rental services), from modest to luxury options.
