Quick Quote

Icon

If you're in a hurry to provide your customer with a quote for available F&I products and options, you can use the Quick Quote feature. Quick Quote allows you to share product options and prices with your customer without entering all of the customer, vehicle, and deal information in TRONIX. 

TRONIX is enabled with a Quick Quote menu template that defaults to select all products. We recommend setting up the menu template before you use Quick Quote. To add a template, see How to add a Quick Quote Menu Template.

You can access the Quick Quote feature one of two ways:

  • Select Deals > Quick Quote from the left navigation menu:


  • Or select the Quick Quote quick link button from the menu bar:


    1. Enter the following information in the Vehicle panel and click Get Quick Quote.


ItemDescription

The Quick Quote/Products page contains several panels:

  • The Vehicle – Contains details about the vehicle associated with the deal. This is for reference only.
  • The Deal – Contains details about the deal itself. This is for reference only. 
  • Loan & Deal Variable Information – This panel contains loan and financing details that you can share with your customer. 
  • Selected Products – This panel contains a list of F&I products that are available to your customer for this deal. 


Loan & Deal Variable Information Panel

In the Loan & Variable Information panel, enter details relating to the loan and deal.


ItemDescription
Deal TypeSelect if the deal will be Finance or Cash.
LenderSelect a lender for this deal. This is a required field for Finance deal types.

Note: If Cash is selected, the Lender, Reserve Type, Term 1 and Term 2 fields will disappear.
Reserve TypeSelect the loan reserve type for this deal. The default reserve type is Buy/Sell. A reserve type is a fee that the lender pays to the dealer. Click Edit to select between two options:
  • Flat – A flat reserve (straight dollar) amount fee. An example would be that the lender pays the dealer $500 for every loan the dealer does with them. If you select this option, enter the fixed-rate reserve amount in the Flat Reserve Amount field.
  • Buy/Sell – The Buy rate is the interest rate the dealer gets for the loan from the lender. The Sell rate is the interest rate the customer is paying. The dealer gets a commission on the difference between these two rates. This is the Finance Reserve.

Click Save to save your selection.
