One line of code puts free, sourced car-buying and car-repair lessons in front of the people you serve. No cost. No contract. No staff needed.
AutoNetwork.com, which has served car buyers since 1986, today launched the Auto Section: a free, ready-made car-money education section that any organization can add to its website by pasting one line of code. Its message is simple: Know Before You Go To A Dealer.
The people you serve are paying for what no one told them
Right now, someone who reads your paper, banks with you, sits in your pews, or attends your school is signing a car deal. Too often, they leave with a high-cost loan, old trade-in debt rolled into a new one, add-ons they never asked for, or a repair bill they didn’t understand. Most of those losses happen because no one gave them the facts first.
Every organization on this list exists to look out for its people. The facts are now free and take minutes to add. Not sharing them means letting the next family learn the hard way, at the dealer’s desk or the repair counter.
One Auto Section, five ways to serve
- Newspapers: a reader-service section you don’t have to staff, write or pay for. You keep 100% of the ad space around it and 100% of any sponsor line you sell, such as “Auto Section sponsored by…” on your own page.
- Credit unions and banks: member education that reaches people before they sit down in the dealer’s finance office, where the loan terms get decided.
- Churches: a stewardship and money ministry for families. A car is one of the biggest purchases most households make.
- HBCUs and schools: first-car, first-loan and first-repair lessons for students and their families.
- Nonprofits: a ready-made addition to financial-empowerment programs, with no added cost or staff.
- What your people learn
- Financing: leasing vs. buying, who should lease, mileage limits, wear charges and GAP coverage.
- Trade-in debt: how owing more than a car is worth happens, and how to get out.
- Depreciation: how fast a car can lose value, with a free calculator.
- Add-ons and fees: what to get in writing before signing.
- Warranties: what the factory covers, and when extended coverage may not pay off.
- Credit: rights and steps for buyers with low or no credit, plus a first-time buyer guide.
- Service costs: how to choose a repair shop, ask for a written estimate, know your rights and spot a padded bill, plus factory maintenance schedules and estimated ownership costs so routine service is never a surprise.
- Plus: Ask AI Roosevelt for answers to car questions, and new-model walkaround videos.
Every guide links to its sources. The Auto Section teaches what to ask and what is normal; it never quotes local shop prices or sells repairs.
Built to be safe, simple, and yours
- Easy: copy one line from the free setup page, paste it where you want the section, and you’re done. New guides and videos appear by themselves.
- Safe: it runs in a sealed frame that cannot read or change your site, your logins or your ad accounts. It collects no reader names or emails.
- Clean: only AutoNetwork.com education appears inside the section. No outside ads. Guides and videos open inside it, so readers stay on your page.
- No strings: no cost and no contract. Delete the line, and it’s gone.
A word from the founder
“For forty years I’ve watched good people pay too much for cars and repairs simply because nobody told them what to ask,” said Roosevelt Gist, founder of AutoNetwork.com. “The organizations people already trust are the best messengers. We built the Auto Section so they can share the facts without spending a dime or hiring anyone.”
The next car deal or repair bill in your community is happening now. Add the free Auto Section today and make sure your people walk in knowing the facts:
