Burlington, Vt., October 18, 2019 – Dealer.com, a Cox Automotive brand, today announced it has been selected in Hyundai’s Dealer Website Certification Program as a website and digital advertising provider, continuing a long-standing partnership rooted in driving the success of Hyundai dealers. Through the certification program, Dealer.com will remain an endorsed website provider for more than 600 Hyundai dealers in North America. The partnership extension follows Dealer.com’s recent redesign of its digital storefront, which empowers dealers to create a faster path to customer engagement by delivering more personalized experiences for consumers.

“Dealer.com looks forward to continuing our successful relationship with Hyundai and supplying their dealers with premiere automotive industry technologies and services,” said Wayne Pastore, vice president and general manager of Dealer.com. “Our digital solutions offer groundbreaking mobile and desktop flexibility, comprehensive inventory merchandising, personalized shopper experiences, and unmatched connectivity with Autotrader, Kelley Blue Book, and other Cox Automotive solutions.”
