Audi Baton Rouge — AutoHub

Baton Rouge, Louisiana
April 22, 2026
Lance Faucheux, Becky Squyres (AutoHub)
AutoHub Service Drive Acquisition

What AutoHub Does

AutoHub is an automated vehicle acquisition platform that turns your service drive into a used car sourcing engine. Instead of relying solely on auctions or trade-ins, the system proactively engages customers already in your service bay — people who already trust your dealership — to evaluate and potentially acquire their vehicles.

Within 5–7 minutes of a customer checking in for service, AutoHub sends a text message offering a no-obligation vehicle valuation. The customer can respond right from their phone, and the system handles the rest: automated pricing, appointment scheduling, and handoff to your acquisitions team.

What This Means for Audi Baton Rouge

Audi Baton Rouge has no dedicated service-drive acquisition tool currently in place (unlike BHBMW which runs AMP). This makes AutoHub a potentially strong fit — the store is missing a proven source of used inventory that competitors are already capturing.

Used Audi inventory is critical for the store's pre-owned business, and acquiring directly from service customers — who already know and trust Audi Baton Rouge — represents higher-margin opportunities than auction purchases. The lack of any existing automation means AutoHub would be a net-new revenue channel rather than a replacement.

Lance's Take

Potentially strong fit for Audi BR — used inventory is critical and there's no existing automated acquisition tool. Recommend Hedrick evaluate.
