CLARKSTON, Mich. -
Two Michigan dealership are joining forces to make online vehicle transactions a reality for their customers. Katie Bowman Coleman, owner of Bowman Chevrolet in Clarkston, Mich.; and Sam Slaughter, owner of Sellers Buick-GMC in Farmington Hills, Mich., have merged their dealerships to form the Sellers Auto Group.

The new business will be headquartered in Clarkston, Mich., and will launch an online-buying service for vehicle shoppers. 

 
The service is titled YourOnlineDealer.com.
 
"Ninety-five percent of car buyers use the Internet when considering their next lease or purchase," said Coleman. "We've created YourOnlineDealer.com for customers to not only shop more efficiently, but actually buy or lease online."
The new site will allow visitors to work with a live person or "Auto Guide" using two-way video and co-browsing.
Shoppers will be able to choose a new vehicle, value their trade-in, and buy or lease, all online.
"We want our customers to have a choice," said Slaughter. "They now have the option of visiting one of our four showrooms or going online to YourOnlineDealer.com to experience the same high level of service they would receive in our dealerships. It's simple: buy what you want, how you want, at the price you want, whether it's in the dealership or online."
