Though opportunities exist to purchase vehicles online, one Butler County car dealership says most of its customers still prefer to see the car in-person before making their purchase.

At Ron Lewis Automotive Group in Cranberry Township, a portion of its customers will view vehicles for sale online and schedule “at-home or “at-work” test drives rather than plan an in-person visit to the dealership.

“A lot of clients still want to see the car,” said Jobie Glessner, co-president of Ron Lewis Automotive Group. “So what we do is at-home or at-work test drives. The client will go and look at a vehicle, and our internet team will drive it to their home or workplace, do a walk-around of the vehicle, look at their trade-in and essentially email them a pricing quote. They’d never have to come to the dealership.”

If a customer gets home from work at 10 p.m., the dealership may be closed, but they can start their vehicle search online, browsing the dealership’s website and reaching out to indicate interest in a vehicle.
