In 1966, two Brazilian men were found dead on Vintém Hill under bizarre circumstances that continue to perplex investigators and conspiracy theorists alike. Lying side by side, their bodies were discovered wearing matching lead masks—shields with no eyeholes—alongside cryptic notes. Were they victims of a cult ritual, a failed experiment, or something even more otherworldly?

Allie Peters started her career in automotive in 2011, after she received a call from her cousin who was in her second week interning at a dealership in Dallas. Allie’s cousin urged her to get into automotive because it played to Allie’s strengths which are staying busy and talking to people.

Allie enjoys meeting with customers and leading the associates in the shop, parts, and service drive departments. The favorite part of her role is coaching and praising associates in real-time.

Allie enjoys planning for the future, setting her vision for Fixed Ops, and doing the hard work to drive her vision forward. Her focus is to provide each customer with an exceptional experience in order to properly represent the owners of the 80-year-old generational family business.

Scooter’s wife, Jill is the GM and they sell roughly 50 to 60 vehicles a month. It’s a small community so Scooter and Jill run into customers all of the time.

Driving Efficiency and Results: South Dade Auto Group 23:02

Jose Lazo, Director Digital Operations for South Dade Auto Group which includes three stores: South Dade Kia of Homestead, South Dade Kia of Miami and South Dade Toyota of Homestead. Jose Lazo shares how utilizing VINCUE has transformed dealership operations across three stores, particularly in inventory management, turn, time-to-line, and team communication. By utilizing the data, features, and third party integrations in VINCUE the stores have dramatically increased efficiency and improved performance. Key Results: Improved Turn from 8x to 23x - The integration of the Group’s processes with VINCUE data and capabilities has improved turn by a staggering 300%. Improved Time-to-Line to from 10 days to 3.6 days - “Our time-to-line and average days in recon were a minimum of 8-10 days, sometimes as much as 30 days. With VINCUE, we are now seeing just 3.6 days time-to-line average across all three stores.” says Jose Lazo. He credits the improvements to the VINCUE data and the integration with Rapid Recon, which has facilitated better communication across the dealership. Now the BDC, Sales, and Service teams all communicate better together and directly to the customer. Real-Time Data that Empowers the Team and Improves Communication - The sales and BDC teams use VINCUE to check on vehicle status without needing to call the managers. With the comprehensive data in VINCUE, they can see if a car is in recon, in the body shop, or front-line ready. This visibility has saved time and prevented miscommunication, leading to happier employees and a better customer experience. Streamlined Appraisal Process - Before the VINCUE integration with MaxOffer, appraisers would have to jump into the MaxOffer platform to wait for an appraisal leading to delays in getting the number. With the integration, all of the data is in VINCUE so sales leaders can make decisions right on the spot without delay. And because the capability is permission-based, only those resources with the authority to put a number on a car have the access to those specific features. AI-Powered Background Removal Improves Merchandising - The AI background removal feature has been a huge win for this group. This capability in VINCUE saves time and makes the picture taking process effortless. “We used to spend time positioning cars on the lot just right for photos,” says Jose Lazo. “Now we can take any picture, clean it up instantly, saving time and making our inventory look much more professional.” With Jose Lazo and his team at South Dade embracing VINCUE’s integrations and features it has dramatically enhanced their dealership efficiency, improved time-to-line, increased turn, and ultimately driven more sales while improving team collaboration and customer satisfaction.…
