About GARAGEBIRDS
GARAGEBIRDS is cloud-based dealer management software for independent used-car dealerships and small lots. Each vehicle's specs, photos, purchase and recon costs, asking price, deals and paperwork live in one record, from acquisition to sale.
Free plan ($0, no card, unlimited users): VIN decode, inventory and listings, cost tracking with true profit per vehicle, cash desking with a per-deal margin view, and built-in title, registration and bill of sale forms for all 50 states, filled in from the deal. Buyers are saved as contacts automatically.
Pro ($49/month billed yearly or $59 monthly, 14-day trial, no card) adds finance desking with amortization tables, Smart Print Forms for the dealer's own contracts, leads, quotes and contact history, and the Posting Assistant: a Chrome extension that autofills each car's listing on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, eBay Motors, Cars.com, AutoTrader and more. The dealer reviews each listing and presses Publish.

Backlist
Backlist is real-time private-party vehicle acquisition software for car dealers. It watches Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, Autotrader, Cars.com and eBay, removes duplicate cross-posts and dealer-disguised listings, and alerts your buyers within minutes of a private seller posting a car that matches your criteria (make, model, year, price, mileage, radius). Every listing is graded against wholesale and retail market values so buyers see the margin before they pick up the phone. A built-in CRM tracks each lead from first contact to purchase, with team pipelines, seller phone detection, and SMS/email outreach. Backlist is used by independent dealers, franchise used-car departments, multi-rooftop groups and wholesalers to replace auction buying with direct-from-owner inventory. Month-to-month pricing from $775/month, no annual contract, with a free trial. Web dashboard plus iOS app.
