Brian Benstock: VINCUE Delivers Weapons of Mass Production

Even the most successful dealers feel the pressure to evolve, reach higher, win bigger. Brian Benstock, Vice President and Partner of Paragon Honda, Acura and White Plains in New York, is one of those dealers. He is relentless in his pursuit of success, he just wants to win. And when he does, he wants to win more.

And as the number one Honda and Acura dealer in the world, he is winning.

Last year, Brian moved all his dealerships off legacy inventory appraisal and management tools he said were holding him and his team back. Data lagged. AI was minimal. And without real-time insights, even the sharpest operators were making decisions in the dark. He said he knew it was time for a change when those legacy systems stopped helping him keeping up, when he felt the gap with his competition narrowing.

“It was time to reinvent,” he said. “It was time to upgrade to a faster race car.”

That new race car was VINCUE. In just 100 days, Benstock credits VINCUE with helping him widen the gap between himself and the dealerships he competes with. He says that even in extreme market volatility, not only did VINCUE keep his stores winning, they have increased gross and turn at the same time.

He describes VINCUE as a weapon of mass production that helps Paragon Honda and Acura win on every transaction.

Benstock and his Variable Operations Director, Murat Deljanin, sat down with Danny Zaslavsky, President and Co-Founder of VINCUE, to share how the switch made their dealership faster, smarter, and more powerful.

After decades of success with legacy platforms, the cracks started to show. Benstock’s team was dealing with:

They were moving fast, but without visibility. As Benstock put it: “If you don’t have a system that can understand, analyze, and make quick decisions on the data, you’re going to get left behind and beat by people like me.”

Deljanin added, “We had guys that knew nothing about appraisals but are now very educated,” he said. “Regardless of day or time, there’s always someone there, responding to our texts, requests, anything. We feel like their only client.”

VINCUE helped transform raw data into digestible insights that empowered smarter decisions.

In Benstock’s words: “People use data so poorly, you’ve got to mix data with intelligence to get better outcomes. VINCUE makes that possible by simplifying data into digestible insights, delivering the clarity, context, and confidence to make every decision count.”

In just 100 days, the results were undeniable.

Looking ahead, Brian Benstock and Murat Deljanin are focused on “making incredible outcomes better.” And with VINCUE, they have the tools to do it.

“I’m an investor, and this was an investment choice that made sense for the dealership.”

Benstock believes in winning, and sees VINCUE as a competitive weapon. “There’s more there, there,” he said. With smarter tools and a partner that’s always iterating, Paragon isn’t just keeping up, they’re pulling ahead.

“We hope you’re really successful… just not too successful. We like having this monopoly on these weapons of mass production.”
