If you want to win in the dealership, you have to win online and Google can help, according to Brian Benstock of Paragon Honda and Paragon Acura in Woodside, New York. Benstock joined Google’s Head of Industry, Automotive Retail Lissette Gole on the NADA Live Stage to discuss the evolution of consumer trends and how Google has helped his dealerships.
