Founding dealers · Built on a real lot — Shoreline Auto Center, Virginia Beach, VA

Works with DealerCenter

Already on DealerCenter? Keep it.

Your DMS stays exactly as it is. Only the website changes — and it keeps working with DealerCenter in both directions.

Your inventory still comes from DealerCenter

You keep listing cars where you list them now. DealerCenter sends the inventory file, and your new site picks it up and stays current on its own. No double entry, no second place to update a price.

Every lead lands back in DealerCenter

A shopper who fills in a form on your site arrives as a lead in DealerCenter, in the same inbox your team already checks. Nothing new to monitor, no second CRM to learn.

Nothing to migrate, nobody to retrain

Your deals, your customer records and your day-to-day stay exactly where they are. The website is the only thing that moves.

What you don’t have to do: change your DMS · retrain anyone · re-enter a car · move a lead.

Carry your own paper — and manage it

Most DMS tools stop at the sale. The BHPH module is being built to run the book end to end, from the first payment to charge-off.

  • Payment schedules — weekly, bi-weekly, monthly
  • Automatic reminders — SMS & email
  • Collections queue — what needs attention first
  • Repossession & charge-off — delinquency to write-off

Built with real dealers

Built by watching a real lot run

CarDealerTool isn’t designed in a boardroom. It’s being built side-by-side with Shoreline Auto Center in Virginia Beach — watching how an independent dealer really takes in a car, desks a deal, and chases a payment.

We’re onboarding a small group of founding dealers who shape what gets built next. No inflated numbers, no fake reviews — just the tool, in the field.

Shoreline’s own website runs on CarDealerTool, at their own domain — shorelineautocenter.com. Real inventory, real vehicle pages, working forms. Open it and judge the product rather than the pitch.
