Backup internet for car dealerships
From the FAILOVER5 team at Twisted VoIP, Chandler, Arizona · Updated October 2026
A deal that's ready to sign can fall apart while the finance office waits on the internet. Credit applications go out through Dealertrack or RouteOne, contracts are signed electronically, and the dealer management system runs everything else.
Sales and finance
- Credit applications and lender decisions through Dealertrack and RouteOne
- eContracting and electronic signatures
- Your DMS, such as CDK Global or Reynolds and Reynolds
- Lead follow-up in the CRM
Service drive
- Appointment scheduling and write-ups
- Parts lookups and orders
- Warranty claims and manufacturer portals
- Text updates and payments
Plan for the whole store
A dealership has more people and systems than most businesses. Put sales, finance and service on the backup line and leave showroom and customer WiFi on the main connection. If lenders or your DMS require a fixed address, choose a Verizon plan with a static IP.
Suggested plan: 50 GB plan, $175/month
With sales, finance and service all on the backup, 50 GB gives a mid-size store room for a long outage. Small used car lots can start at 20 GB.
Compare all plansQuestions we hear from car dealerships
- Can one backup router cover several buildings on the lot?
- It can if your network already connects the buildings. The backup line plugs in where your main internet comes in.
- Do manufacturers allow cellular backup?
- Most manufacturer systems just need a working internet connection. Check your OEM's network requirements; we can help with the technical side.
Does it pay for itself?
The 50 GB plan is $2,100 a year. It pays for itself if it saves less than one deal a year.
Think about your last outage: how many deals did it cost you?
