Fletcher Jones Adds AutoGravity Inventory App
Auto Gravity and the Fletcher Jones Auto Group have launched ‘FJ Drive,’ a real-time smartphone inventory app.
IRVINE, Calif. — Fintech solutions provider AutoGravity announced it has joined forces with the Fletcher Jones Auto Group to launch “FJ Drive,” a mobile app designed to allow customers to secure financing for any new Mercedes-Benz on an iOS or Android smartphone.
“Fletcher Jones is a leader in innovation. We blaze the trail by enhancing our world-class in store experience with cutting-edge technology that puts our guests in the driver’s seat,” said Keith May, president of Fletcher Jones. “We constantly strive to enhance our world-class in store buying experience with this latest innovative technology, giving our guests even more real-time information to make their bespoke purchase decision.”
FJ Drive allows users to shop for specific vehicles sitting on the dealership lot by choosing a model or browsing all available cars. Guests can then apply for financing and review their lease or loan offer in the app before picking up their car at the Fletcher Jones showroom, according to AutoGravity’s Andy Hinrichs.
“AutoGravity works with leading dealer groups that share our passion — building cutting-edge technology to reinvent the car shopping and financing experience in an increasingly digital world,” said Hinrichs, the company’s founder and CEO. “We are excited to bring inventory to FJ Drive, making it more convenient to access seamless digital car financing anywhere and anytime.”
