Cox Automotive is redefining the future of automotive retail with the latest evolution of its vAuto platform, the industry’s leading inventory management solution.
The company has announced a new integration with UVeye, bringing AI-powered inspection capabilities directly into the appraisal and inventory sourcing process. This move advances Cox Automotive’s mission to use data and artificial intelligence to deliver smarter, faster, and more connected solutions that help dealers make informed decisions across retail and wholesale.
AI-Powered Inspections Now in the Service Lane
Select progressive dealerships are already using this integration to transform how trade-ins are:
- Sourced in the service drive
- Appraised with real-time condition data
- Converted into retail-ready inventory
The shared goal is a seamless, scalable process that:
- Identifies high-potential vehicles
- Evaluates their true condition and market value
- Generates real-time sales offers in minutes
Industry Leaders Speak
“This is about helping dealers act faster and smarter,”
— Derek Hansen, VP of Operations, vAuto
With this integration, dealerships can:

- Create merchandising assets on the spot
- Source quality inventory backed by real condition data
Amir Hever, CEO at UVeye, added:
“We’re transforming the dealership experience by automating inspections and delivering instant, data-driven appraisals. It’s a major step toward bridging the gap between service and sales.”
Key Benefits for Dealers
- Automated appraisals based on real-time AI condition scans
- Instant trade-in offers informed by market insights

Real-World Success
Dealerships like Brickell Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Miami are already seeing results.
“We’ve relied on vAuto for inventory and UVeye for inspections,” said Jonathan Noda, General Manager. “Now we’re connecting the dots. If we can scan a car, appraise it accurately, and make a live offer while the customer is still in service — that’s a whole new level of opportunity.”
