For Canadian dealers
All the upside of the US market. None of the risk.
Signal is the export department for Canadian franchise dealers. We run the entire export process for you. If you already export, use just the pieces you need.
The platform
An export department in a box
US market appraisals
An export-focused appraisal tool. Price any vehicle against US wholesale and retail data from Signal Market Guide.
Full export floorplan
Funds advanced when you accept an Instant Offer, or floor your own exports from the point of purchase in Canada.
Insurance coverage on every vehicle
From the moment it leaves your lot to the moment it sells.
Registered Importer
Signal manages the border crossing: brokerage, compliance, conformity, speedometer conversion and titling on every vehicle, tracked in real time.
Remarketing to US dealers
Signal maximizes exposure to US dealers: offered directly to the stores they fit, listed in the Marketplace, and run at Manheim Detroit (lane 9, Thursdays).
Instant Offer
A firm number on any eligible vehicle, in seconds
Enter a VIN and odometer and get a CAD number that holds for 7 days. Accept, and funds are advanced before pick-up. Sells for more, the net upside is yours. Sells for less, your number holds.

Grow retail
Use the US market to sell more new cars
The export upside is more than wholesale profit. It's a lever for the whole retail operation.
Win more new car deals
Top dollar for trades, backed by US demand your local competition can't see.
Instant Offers in the service lane
Every RO is an appraisal opportunity. Put a firm number in front of customers already in your building.
Campaigns that bring customers in
Run acquisition campaigns with real, firm offers instead of “up to” teasers.
Shorten the trade cycle
Use strong trade numbers to pull customers forward into their next new vehicle.
“What sets Signal apart is their full-service approach. From insurance to financing to remarketing, they handle it all. It's like having an export department at a fraction of the cost.”
