Why car dealers in Victoria are worth a list of your own
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 Victoria itself and keep Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton as separate segments. That way a campaign never reaches the same car dealer twice, and you can see at a glance how much of British Columbia is done.
Most sellers work from a bought list that everyone else has too. A list of car dealers in Victoria that you built yourself is the one nobody else is emailing yet.
Build your Victoria list of car dealers in four steps
Nothing is written to your database until you confirm it.
Collect car dealers in Victoria
Export car dealers in Victoria 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 Victoria. 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 Victoria
Add these as fields in your lead file. Any column in your import can become a field.
| 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.
Angles that get car dealers to reply
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 Canada
In Canada, commercial email falls under Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL), which is stricter than most and generally requires express or implied consent before you send. Implied consent only applies in limited cases, for example when someone has conspicuously published their business email address without saying they do not want messages and your message is relevant to their role. Every message must identify you, include your contact details and offer an unsubscribe option that works. 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
No. Riftjaw is not a data vendor. You collect the car dealers yourself from public sources or your own files and import them. That is why the list is yours and why there is no credit meter on it.
Yes. Put Victoria in its own segment, or keep a City field and save a filter such as city contains Victoria. You always see which part of the market you already worked.
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.
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.
