Start free trialDealer Spike doesn't publish prices. Real-world reports put the monthly between $400 and $1,800 depending on plan and how many add-ons you stack. Add a setup fee of $2,500 to $5,000 on top, and figure on a 36-month contract.
Technically, no. You're on the hook for the remaining months. What dealers usually do: run both in parallel for the last two or three months of the term, get everything moved over to the new platform, then flip DNS the day the contract expires. We've helped dealers do this.
If you do it sloppy, yes. If you do it right, no. We build a redirect map from your old URL structure to the new one, submit a fresh sitemap to Google, and rank usually settles within four to six weeks. We've migrated dealers from Dealer Spike without losing their top-10 keywords.
Club Car, EZ-GO, Yamaha, ICON, Evolution, Star EV, Bintelli, Tomberlin: yes. Anything else: send us the spec and we'll wire it up. No add-on fee.
Powerdash has lead inbox, kanban pipeline, contacts, and notifications natively. You don't add a separate CRM. If you've been using Dealer Spike's CRM via integration, we'll help you export the records during migration.
Most dealers go from signup to taking real leads in an afternoon. Inventory and contact imports run in 30 to 60 minutes. Storefront customization takes another hour or two. The longest part is usually picking your color palette.
No credit card. No multi-year lock-in. If it isn't a better fit than Dealer Spike, walk away. We'll help you do that too.
