Dealer Garage: software for independent used-car dealers

Run the lot from one app that you own.

Updated October 9, 2026·1 min read
Short answer

Dealer Garage is installable dealership software for independent used-car lots in the US and Canada. It covers inventory with cost tracking, a lead board, a deal builder with taxes, about 50 ready-to-fill forms per region, a garage register, Facebook Marketplace posting and email campaigns. Data stays on your computer; plans are Free, Basic at $99 once and Pro at $149 once.

What it replaces

  • The spreadsheet of stock and its out-of-date prices.
  • Binders of blank forms and re-typed customer details.
  • A notebook of leads and follow-ups.
  • A monthly subscription for features a small lot may never use.

A day on the lot

  1. Morning: check the dashboard's aging panel and new leads.
  2. A lead arrives from a listing site and appears on the board and in the unopened-leads badge; you book a test drive on the calendar.
  3. You decode the VIN of a car just bought and record the purchase.
  4. You build the deal, print the bill of sale and the rest of the paperwork.
  5. The Marketplace queue posts tomorrow's new arrivals.

Who it is not for

Dealer Garage is aimed at independent used-car lots. If you run a franchised store that needs manufacturer integrations, or a large group with many locations and central reporting, a hosted system built for that is a better fit.

Questions people ask

Does it work for franchised dealers?

Dealer Garage is designed for independent used-car lots. Franchise requirements such as manufacturer integrations are not included.

Do I need technical skills?

No. You install it like any app and set up the dealership in a few steps.
