Inventory management and listings

Free

One record per car — VIN, year, make and model, specifications, mileage, colors, photos, status and asking price — on a lot sheet you can search and filter. Every cost, deal and listing reads from that record, so a car is typed in once. There is no cap on the number of vehicles.

Cost tracking with true profit per vehicle

Free

Log the purchase price and everything attached to it — auction fees, transport, inspection, keys — then parts, labor, paint and detailing as the recon is done, each with its receipt. The car's total investment and estimated gross (asking price less investment) update with every entry, and the actual gross and margin are recorded once it sells.

Does notIt is cost and receipt tracking on the vehicle record: no auction feed or sourcing workflow, and no shop scheduler or repair-order workflow.

VIN decode

Free

Enter the 17-character VIN and the year, make, model and specifications fill in from it, ready to check before you save. The record starts from the VIN rather than from memory.

Cash desking, with per-deal margin view

Free

One live worksheet on the deal for selling price, discounts, dealer fees, sales tax, title and registration fees, trade-in and down payment, ending in what is due from the buyer. The margin view sets the selling price against the car's total investment, so you see the deal's gross before you close it.

Built-in state forms for all 50 states, with auto-fill

Free

Your state’s own title, registration and sale paperwork is built in: over 300 official forms across all 50 states, from the title application and bill of sale to odometer disclosures and powers of attorney. They fill themselves in from the deal — buyer, vehicle, VIN, odometer and price — ready to preview, download or print, so nobody types the buyer’s name twice. Forms used outside a retail sale fill in the vehicle’s details only. Every built-in form is on the Free plan, with no limit; Smart Print Forms on Pro is for your own contracts and documents.

Contacts

Free

Every buyer is saved as a contact automatically from the deal. A searchable contact picker fills the buyer into forms, and the contact list labels each contact by stage automatically: Prospect, In deal or Buyer.

Unlimited users

Free

Invite everyone who works the lot to the dealership’s account. There is no limit on the number of users, on Free or on Pro.

Pro

14-day trial

Everything in Free, plus the features below. $49/month billed yearly, or $59 billed monthly. For dealerships running the whole lot.

An admin starts the 14-day trial from Billing in the app, whenever you’re ready. No card to start.

Finance desking, with amortization tables and multiple deal structures

Pro

Add the financing terms and the worksheet works out the amount financed and the monthly payment, with an amortization table showing every payment's interest, principal and remaining balance. Lay out more than one deal structure and compare them before the buyer picks.

Does notGARAGEBIRDS computes the figures; it does not send a credit application to a lender or take a payment.

Smart Print Forms — upload and map your own contracts and documents, with auto-fill

Pro

Upload the contracts and forms you already use — your purchase agreement, retail installment contract or a vendor's disclosure. Point each blank at the deal field it should read — buyer, vehicle, price, trade-in — once. Every deal after that fills, previews and prints it automatically.

Assisted Facebook Marketplace posting

Pro

Prepare a Facebook Marketplace listing from the vehicle record without retyping the car: the GARAGEBIRDS Posting Assistant for Chrome or Edge lays out its details and asking price to copy into Facebook's own listing form, and downloads the photos you choose to attach there. You review it and publish it yourself.

Does notIt never publishes on its own, and cost figures and customer details never leave GARAGEBIRDS.

Leads, linked to contacts

Pro

Track a buyer's enquiry as a lead before a car is chosen. Each lead is linked to its contact, so the lead and the deal it becomes share one record instead of two copies of the same customer.

Contact history — purchase history, activity timeline, and leads per contact

Pro

Open a contact and see everything the dealership has done with them: what they bought, a timeline of activity, and every lead on file for them.

Start a deal from a contact, prefilled

Pro

Start a new deal straight from a contact; their details are already filled in, so a returning buyer is never entered twice.

Contact notes and follow-up dates

Pro

Keep notes on a contact and set the date to follow up, so the next conversation picks up where the last one left off.

Each stage is shown in detail on its platform page: Buy, Inventorize, Restore, Display, Sell. Practical guides are in the resources hub.
