Your own Dublin list of car dealers
Car dealers range from independent used car lots to franchised dealerships with separate sales, service and parts teams. Independents decide quickly through the owner, while franchise groups often buy centrally and follow manufacturer rules.
Start with Dublin itself and keep Drogheda, Dundalk and Kilkenny as separate segments. That way a campaign never reaches the same car dealer twice, and you can see at a glance how much of County Dublin is done.
Your competitors are already emailing car dealers in Dublin. With your own list you reach them in a planned way instead of hoping they find you.
Build your Dublin list of car dealers in four steps
You check every step before anything is saved or sent.
Collect car dealers in Dublin
Export car dealers in Dublin from Google Maps listings or motor trade association member lists as CSV, or paste the results page into paste and collect.
Import into one lead file
Drop the file into a lead file called Car Dealers Dublin. Columns are matched for you and duplicates are flagged before anything is saved.
Fill in the missing emails
No email in the export? Tick info@, sales@, enquiries@ and service@ and addresses are derived from each website.
Reach them in small batches
Pick the segment, keep only status New, write one mail with placeholders like {company|your team} and send it in small batches.
Fields worth recording for car dealers in Dublin
Any column in your import can become a field. These are the ones worth keeping for car dealers.
| Field | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Company name | The key field. Duplicates are checked on it or on the website. |
| Website | Needed to derive an email when the export has none. |
| Franchised or independent | Franchise dealers often buy through a group or follow brand rules. |
| Brands sold | Shows which manufacturers they represent. |
| Stock size | A rough sense of stock tells you how much marketing they need. |
| Workshop on site | Dealers with a workshop also buy parts and service tools. |
| Dealer group | Tells you whether decisions are made at head office. |
What slows down prospecting car dealers, and the fix
Independent lots and franchised dealers need very different offers.
Add a Franchised or independent field and save a filter for each group.
Dealer groups show up many times, once per site.
Keep a Dealer group field and tag head office contacts, so you know when to talk to the group instead of each site.
Sales teams mail the same dealers from their own inboxes and lists.
One shared account with unlimited users gives everyone the same list, statuses and mail history.
What to say to car dealers in Dublin
Use one angle per campaign, so the results show which one gets car dealers to click.
- Lead with selling stock faster, because every day a car sits on the forecourt costs money.
- Talk about better photos and listings, which strongly affect how many buyers get in touch.
- For dealers with a workshop, focus on service bookings and repeat business after the sale.

Read moreEmailing car dealers in Ireland
In Ireland, B2B email is covered by the GDPR and the ePrivacy Regulations, which treat messages to individuals more strictly than messages to companies, and marketing email to individuals generally needs prior consent. You also need a lawful basis, often legitimate interests, to use the details of named contacts, and every message must identify you and offer a free way to opt out. This is general information, not legal advice.
Weekday mornings are usually quieter than weekends, when many buyers visit. Month end can be busy for sales teams, so earlier in the month often works better. Read the deliverability guide before your first send.
Questions people ask
Yes. The Free plan runs the whole pipeline on one list with small campaigns, and you do not need a credit card. Move to Pro when you want more lists, segments and bigger campaigns.
Yes. Put Dublin in its own segment, or keep a City field and save a filter such as city contains Dublin. You always see which part of the market you already worked.
If your file has an email column, that wins. If it only has websites, tick the prefixes you want, such as info@, sales@, enquiries@ and service@, and Riftjaw derives addresses from each domain. Derived addresses are good guesses, not verified, so start with small batches.
For group owned sites, decisions are often made centrally. Record the group in a field and put head office contacts in their own segment for those offers.
Yes. Add a Brands sold field to your lead file and save filters on it.
