GARAGEBIRDS provides cloud-based management software tailored for independent used-car dealerships and smaller lots. This platform consolidates all essential information for each vehicle—such as specifications, images, purchase and recon expenses, asking price, deals, and paperwork—into a single record that follows the vehicle from acquisition to final sale.
The free plan ($0, no credit card required, unlimited users) includes features like VIN decoding, inventory management, listings, cost tracking that calculates true profit per vehicle, cash desking with a detailed margin view for each deal, and built-in forms for title, registration, and bill of sale applicable in all 50 states, automatically populated from the deal details. In addition, buyer contacts are captured automatically for future reference.
The Pro plan, available for $49 per month when billed annually or $59 monthly, comes with a 14-day trial that requires no credit card. It enhances the software with finance desking capabilities, including amortization tables, Smart Print Forms for the dealer's contracts, leads, quotes, and contact history, as well as the Posting Assistant. This Chrome extension simplifies the listing process by autofilling car details for platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, eBay Motors, Cars.com, and AutoTrader, allowing dealers to review and publish each listing easily. Furthermore, the software’s comprehensive features enable dealers to streamline their operations and improve efficiency significantly.
