When it comes to dealership photography, the question isn’t if you need great photos — it’s how to get them. High-quality, consistent vehicle photos drive clicks, build trust, and help cars sell faster online.
The real decision comes down to your process: should you hire an outside vendor or bring your photography in-house? Both options have their advantages, but more and more dealers are choosing to take control of their image workflow with Dealer Image Pro’s in-house merchandising software.
