History AutoRevo was born as most business ideas are… from a need.

In 2001, Chad Polk owned and operated an eBay Motors vehicle listing service for auto dealers in the Dallas/Ft. Worth metroplex, where he realized the need for an automated vehicle listing process. December 2003, Polk partnered with Mark Hoffman and Randy Roberts to build what’s now known as the AutoRevo Internet Marketing Platform.

Initially, AutoRevo was established to provide auto dealers a more proficient method of listing and managing their inventory on eBay Motors. The company’s product offering soon grew to include search engine optimized dealer websites, an inventory management system, used inventory integration with any online classified vendor, a lead management system and reporting analytics.

The company continues its self-funded business model where profits afford the opportunity to hire new employees, allowing continued growth and diversification in the ever-changing automotive industry. Employees have seen everything from writing code in a garage (a finished-out garage was our first real office) to working in our beautiful 8,000 sq. ft. office in the heart of the North Dallas Technology Corridor.
