OUR HISTORY
FROM
INSPIRATION
TO REALITY.
InteliChek was founded by David Swan in 1997. David first became interested in the automotive industry when he purchased his first vehicle, a 1966 Ford Mustang, for $500. He was a junior in high school. The car was inoperable, but with help from his grandfather, he was able to restore the Mustang.
At 29 years old, David decided to walk away from his secure salaried job and paid benefits to become an entrepreneur. In 1997, David founded InteliChek and was awarded a job from a large OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) to study how a program like this could help their Dealers. After prototyping and testing results, InteliChek found its sweet spot, comparing a Dealer's service prices with local service providers to help the Dealers understand what their competitors are charging.
Evolving from excel spreadsheets and flip phones to caller ID masking and recording each agent's conversation, InteliChek has become a staple for many service departments across vehicle lines and across the country.
David passed away in August 2023, after a long battle with cancer.
Today, InteliChek trains and employs dozens of Certified Agents and has a staff of producers, analysts, reviewers, and coordinators.
