58K+ car dealerships in the US.
Traditional databases miss most independents.
Apollo and ZoomInfo index enterprise software companies and their org charts. They have limited coverage of franchised auto dealerships and almost none of independent used car dealers. These businesses are registered through state DMV dealer licensing, listed on Cars.com and CarGurus, and reviewed on DealerRater — none of which traditional B2B databases index.

[02] Research
AI agents that find dealerships where
they actually list and sell cars.
Dealership owners and GMs aren't updating LinkedIn profiles between lot walks. They're on Google Maps, Cars.com, CarGurus, DealerRater, and state DMV registries. Origami's AI agents search these sources in real time — pulling dealership details, owner names, inventory levels, and growth signals that Apollo has no way of finding.
[03] Capabilities
Find your ideal car dealership.
Qualified list in under 2 minutes.
State DMV dealer licensing
Every car dealership — franchise or independent — holds a state DMV dealer license. Origami pulls license status, type, and renewal dates from state DMV databases so you can verify a dealer is active and properly licensed before you reach out.
Franchise vs. independent segmentation
A franchised Toyota dealership and an independent used car lot have completely different needs and budgets. Origami segments dealers by franchise affiliation, OEM relationships, and license type — so your pitch matches their actual business model.
Inventory volume as a revenue proxy
A dealership listing 400+ vehicles on Cars.com is moving serious volume and likely investing in growth. Origami tracks inventory counts across listing platforms as a real-time indicator of dealership size, revenue, and purchasing power.
DealerRater reviews as a quality signal
DealerRater is the Yelp of car dealerships. High-rated dealers invest in customer experience and are more likely to invest in vendor tools. Origami surfaces DealerRater scores and review velocity to help you prioritize dealerships that value their reputation.
