Dealership Background
Mike Marooney Chevrolet South, located in Colorado Springs, has built its reputation on culture, veteran leadership, and community trust. With five nearby military bases, the dealership serves a highly mobile customer base while focusing on long-term retention.
Dan Alla, General Manager, sums it up:
“What makes our dealership so special is the culture we have with one another. We have a lot of tenured employees, veterans on staff, and a tremendous sense of unity. That’s what drives repeat business and prevents defections.”
The Challenge
This Colorado Springs dealership struggled with slow service check-ins, missed damage claims, and imprecise trade-in appraisals, costing time and money. Harsh weather and high-altitude driving added to tire and alignment wear, creating the need for transparency and consistency.

Why It Matters in Colorado Springs
At 6,000+ feet, Colorado Springs drivers face extreme temperature swings, gravel roads, and heavy stop-and-go traffic, all of which accelerate tire wear and alignment issues. State traction laws require minimum tread depth, and UVeye gives customers clear proof for compliance and safety. With a large military population frequently relocating, the technology also strengthens retention by driving referrals and repeat visits.
