GarageBirds is dealer management software for independent used-car dealers who want to run their lot without spreadsheets or expensive enterprise systems. It’s built around the five stages every car goes through: Buy, Inventorize, Restore, Display, Sell.
Most small dealers know what they paid for a car and what they sold it for, but not what they actually made. GarageBirds tracks every cost tied to a vehicle, including purchase price, auction fees, transport, reconditioning and other expenses, so you see the true profit on each car, not just the spread.
The Free plan is free forever, with no credit card required. It includes inventory management with VIN decoding, per-vehicle cost and profit tracking, cash deal desking, a contacts list, and a built-in Bill of Sale and Application for Title that fill from your deal data.
GarageBirds Pro costs $49/month with no contract. It adds finance desking with amortization and multiple deal structures, a per-deal margin view, and Smart Print Forms, which let you upload and map your own dealer documents so they auto-fill on every deal. Pro also includes assisted posting to Facebook Marketplace and AI-written vehicle descriptions.
GarageBirds runs in the browser and is designed for brand-new and small independent lots. It sets up in minutes, without an implementation project, a sales call or long-term commitment. A 14-day Pro trial starts the first time you use a Pro feature.
