“An Underdog is a Hungry Dog”: Hansel Automotive Group Joins #TeamVINCUE

Published On: August 28th, 2025Categories: #TeamVINCUE, Dealer Wins, Featured

This week we launched with Hansel Automotive Group, an iconic brand with deep roots in automotive world and while success is nothing new for them, their vision pulled them toward a platform that amplifies their culture and redefines how they operate in today’s market.

After resisting VINCUE’s pull for a long time, and remaining a loyal partner of legacy tools, David Long, Executive General Manager of Hansel Automotive Group in California, finally made the decision to take a chance on something new: VINCUE.

“I felt like I fell asleep in 1985, and woke up in 2025. the Whole world had changed”

David, Ryan Seaman, and Roberto Galvez together are an incredible team that have created their own culture of success –– and they have been champions throughout the transition at Hansel. This fearlessness is why Hansel is a legacy brand that has thrived for over a century.

After just 45 days of consistent training and support from VINCUE, Hansel is live and already seeing the benefits they hoped for. David is confident this change will solve major challenges in service lane acquisition and buying centers, and VINCUE’s intuitive, fast-moving data will help the entire team at Hansel operate at their best.

That is what hungry looks like. This is what leadership looks like. We can’t be prouder to have Hansel Automotive Group on #TeamVINCUE!

Our Dealers Can’t Stay Quiet on Google

Launched VINCUE a couple months ago for our dealership as we were previously on vAuto. We love the pricing, software, and the support team is engaging with a lot of new features coming. It was a GREAT decision to switch from vAuto to VINCUE and we are very happy with the new software and support team.

New to the VINCUE family, and I’m very impressed with the immediate support provided by the team. Charlie Basham has been a key factor in getting the dealership started on a great path with the VINCUE system. He has been very responsive to my questions and has made sure I can navigate the key reports and understand the process used. Cheyenne Currier has also been very responsive with merchandising uploads needed by the dealership. I look forward to working with the VINCUE Team in the future.

Was previously with another provider for 16 years but now have been with VINCUE for 6 months and I absolutely love it and would never go back to my old provider. Even if you’re not considering making any changes right now, this is one I would look into and you won’t regret it! What I realized is how behind the times my previous provider is and I didn’t even realize it until I learned about VINCUE!
