Question 1: What is the difference between the Quik-Info.com and the Quik-Autos.com websites?
Answer:

www.Quik-Info.com  is our Online Business Directory that displays local businesses along with their street address and telephone number. This directory also has links to numerous business websites and email addresses.  Quik-Info.com also supplies other information for the local communities, including shopping links, weather and news reports and much more! 

Quik-Autos.com is our premium online "Vehicle" classifieds website.  This website enables the local used car dealerships to promote and display their vehicle listings at very affordable rates.

Question 2: Is www.Quik-Autos.com better than the other used vehicle listing service companies?
Answer:

Quik-Autos.com isn't necessarily better than any other vehicle listing service.  What makes Quik-Autos.com so beneficial is that it has been developed "primarily" for the southern Ohio communities and not the entire USA.

We at Quik-Autos.com believe that it is always more favorable to have your vehicle listings posted to as many used vehicles websites that is economically possible for your business.  This opens more possibilities for increase sales.

This is one of the motivating factors behind our low costs and fees.  Check out our rates and you will see that we have made our services affordable to all businesses, large and small.  These low costs should enable any business to use Quik-Info and Quik-Autos.com along with their existing website and other used vehicle listing services.

Question 3: Why should we list our vehicles on www.Quik-Autos.com when we already have our own website for displaying our vehicle listings?
Answer:

www.Quik-Autos.com gives your business another gateway/portal to publicize your vehicle listings.  As we stated before we believe that the more opportunities there are for perspective customers to view your used vehicle listings - whether it be through your own website, Quik-Autos.com or some other used vehicle listing services - the greater your potential for increasing your sales.

Question 4: Is it necessary for us to have our own website or web page?
Answer:

No, it's not necessary to have your own website or web page.  You can set-up an account with us and post your vehicles to the Quik-Autos.com online classifieds without the need to have a website.

But having a web presence does have some business advantages.  An online website or at lease a single web page that displays your business info, street address, email address and phone number, etc. can be a great help for those website visitors that are browsing the internet for a used car or truck.

These perspective customers may want to know more about your company and possibly how to contact you for additional information.  A business web page provides this information and gives your company a professional look.  We will create a business web page for your business when you become a Quik-Autos.com business client and utilize our online classifieds - all at no cost to you.

Question 5: If my business doesn't have a website or web page on the WWW, what will it cost for Quik-Info.com and Quik-Autos.com to create a web page for me and have it available for website visitors to view?

Question 6: If we already have a website of our own on another company's server, what will it cost to have a link to it from the Quik-Info.com Online Business Directory website?
Answer:

Question 7: Do we have to sign up for your Dealer Business Plan and have a business web page created before we can list our used vehicles on www.Quik-Autos.com?
Answer:

No.  We are not requiring dealerships to subscribe to our Dealer Business Plan or our Link Plan before they are permitted to post/list their used vehicles on Quik-Autos.com.  You can just contact us stating that you want to "Activate" an account and we will get you started.

Basically, to get started, (activate an account), all you have to do is contact us that you want to list your vehicles on the Quik-Autos.com Classifieds and then fill out the "Account Set-up" form.  This way we will have the correct information so we can "flag" the billing notifications that should be credited back to your account during your "Start-Up/Activation" period and where to send future monthly statements, etc.

Question 8: We already have a existing website, do we still have to sign up for your $4.00 per year "LINK PLAN" to be able to list our vehicles on www.Quik-Autos.com?
Answer:

No.  We are not requiring dealerships, even those that have existing websites, to subscribe to our Link Plan before they are permitted to post/list their used vehicle listings on Quik-Autos.com.  Just contact us stating that you want to "Activate" an account and we will get you started.

If you have an existing website, we will to it for free, for utilizing our Online Classifieds.

Basically, to get started, (activate an account), all you have to do is contact us that you want to list your vehicles on the Quik-Autos.com Classifieds and then fill out the "Account Set-up" form.  This way we will have the correct information so we can "flag" the billing notifications that should be credited back to your account during your "Start-Up/Activation" period and where to send future monthly statements, etc.

Question 9: You say that all the "initial" vehicle listings are posted/uploaded for free when we "Start-up/Activate" our account.  What does this really mean?
Answer:

This simply means that all the vehicles you currently have in inventory when your account with us is started (Activated) can be posted and uploaded to Quik-Autos.com Online Classifieds at no cost.

Please note that the Quik-Autos.com "Classifieds Program" will automatically generate a bill for you for $13.00 for each Vehicle Ad (180-day) posted when you enter a new Ad, even these "initial/start-up" listings.  This auto billing function cannot be by-passed since it is a built-in feature of our classifieds program.

We will manually credit your account $13.00 for each of these "initial" start-up Vehicle Ad listings that you get billed for (we also receive a copy of all your billing notifications).

Remember your fee is only $3.00 after the "initial" start-up Vehicle Ad listings are completed.  The $13.00 fee that is reflected in your auto generated billing notification message is the fee that an individual (non-dealer) is charged for a 180-day ad.  See Question 10 below.

<Top>

Question 10: How am I invoiced for my "new" vehicle ads that I post/upload to the Quik-Autos.com website after my "start-up/activation" period is over?
Answer:

The Quik-Autos.com "Classifieds Program" will automatically generate a bill for you for $13.00 for each new vehicle ad you upload/post by automatically sending you an email message (billing notification) to the email address that you have listed in your Account Profile.

You should print and retain a copy of these billing notifications/invoices for later verification.  Our procedure is to examine and group these individual billing notifications/invoices from your posting/uploads throughout the month (we also receive a copy of your invoice via email).

At the end of each month we will send you a Monthly Statement/Invoice reflecting all the "new" ads that you posted/uploaded that month.  You should then verify your "billing notifications/invoices" against our Monthly Statement.  If you discover any inaccuracies you should contact us.  Your charges will reflect $3.00 for each new home listing ad.

Question 11: Do I need to have a ".com" (Domain Name) for my business before using Quik-Info.com or Quik-Autos.com?
Answer:

While having a ".com" has it's marketing advantages, it's not necessary for you to have a domain name before using Quik-Autos.com or the Quik-Info Online Business Directory websites.

Please note that currently for just $12.00 per year, Quik-Info can acquire a Domain Name (".com", ".net") for your business.  This option is available to all of our Deluxe, Coupon, Dealer and Real Estate Business Plan subscribers.  Your domain name (.com, etc.) will be redirected to your Quik-Info web page(s).

Question 12: There appears to be a lot of data that gets entered into the computer for each "new" vehicle listing ad.  Do you have a worksheet or something that will help us get the information grouped together for data inputting?
Answer:

Yes, we do have a worksheet that can be printed out.  You can find this worksheet in our Dealership Business Client Support web page.  After you print out a hardcopy of the worksheet you can then pencil in the information for the "new" vehicle listing you have.

Having the information for the individual vehicles ready for data entry before you sit down at the computer to do the actual upload over the "internet" to the Quik-Autos.com website, will make it easier.

Question 13: Do I have to Register for an Account and get a Username and Password to view the ad listings?
Answer: No.  You don't need to Register to view any of the classified ads.  You only need to Register for an account if you want to "Place" an online classified ad.

<Top>

Question 14: What are the steps required in order to "post" and "upload" a vehicle listing (create "Place" an Ad)?
Answer:
  1. Register for an account if you do not already have one.  It does not cost anything to get registered.  But, you must have a Username and Password before you can Log On to the program to place an ad.  Please be sure to use your correct email address.  The classifieds program will automatically send you some important messages via the email address you provide.
  2. To place an ad in the Quik-Autos.com program, go into the classifieds program and "click" on the Place Ads link located in the menu bar.
  3. If you haven't Logged On to the program yet, it will ask you to do so.
  4. After you are finished Logging On you will be sent to the "Post a New Ad" screen.
  5. Fill out all the applicable Data Entry Fields.
  6. After you get everything typed in and you preview your ad and decide it's okay to post, go ahead and do so.  After you post the ad you will be able to upload your photos.
  7. You can upload up to 5 photos to your ad listing.  These photos cannot be larger than 300 pixels high by 500 pixels wide when you go to upload them.  The program will refuse them if they are larger than the 300 x 500 size and/or larger than 60,000 bytes.  The photos will be displayed on the Classified Ad as "thumbnails", but when they are "clicked" they enlarge to the 300 x 500 size.
  8. You should now be finished.  Remember that you can go back and "Edit" an AD that you have previously created at any time, you will just need to know the correct AD number for the AD you want to edit/modify.

Question 15: Do I need to have a computer and Internet access to have my vehicle listings on www.Quik-Autos.com?
Answer: No.  You don't need to have a computer or Internet access.  If you have access to a Fax Machine we can update the information for you.  Our Fax Number is Toll Free so you won't even incur any long distance charges.  Just use our AUTO DEALER INPUT WORKSHEET to fill out the vehicle listing information (vehicle features, options, price, etc.) and Fax the worksheet to us.  You'll find this worksheet along with the Master Code Sheet on our Client Support Information Page.  After receiving your fax we'll post the vehicle listing to the Quik-Autos website.

No computer or Fax machine?  We can even still get your vehicles on the web!  We can stop by and gather the information from you for the vehicles that need to be added to the Online Classifieds.  The fee is still just $3.00 (per vehicle) to get your vehicles posted.

For a small additional fee of $2.00 (per vehicle), we can the take pictures of your autos for you, depending upon your geographical location.

For a total of $5.00 (per vehicle) ad listing we will gather the vehicle information from you, take the vehicle pictures, and upload all this to the Online Classifieds (Quik-Autos.com).  These ads will run for a 180-day period for this $5.00 fee.

Should the vehicle not sell in 180 days (6 months), it can be renewed for only $2.00 for an additional 180 days.  Where else can you have an online vehicle ad displayed up to a year for only $7.00.... plus we take the pictures!

Question 16: Does our business have to be in your primary servicing area to be included in the Quik-Autos online classifieds?
Answer: No.  Your business does not have to be in our main servicing area to be able to utilize our online classifieds.  We would recommend that you acquire a Domain Name ".COM" for your business (which we can do for just $12.00 per year) since you are outside of our servicing area.  Having your own Domain Name (".COM") opens numerous marketing possibilities and aids greatly in obtaining website viewers (perspective customers).
