You built this industry.
You invested millions in facilities when OEMs mandated it. You built customer relationships over decades. You created thousands of jobs in your communities.
But franchise dealers are bleeding $0 billion annually—and watching competitors profit from the pain.
Dealers are isolated from each other—
so three problems compound.
Aged Inventory Depreciates in Silence
That SUV sitting on your lot for 90 days? It's bleeding value daily. Floor plan interest is stacking up. But you can't find the dealer who needs it—the one two states over where SUVs move fast.
Customers Walk Because of Inventory Gaps
When a buyer walks in wanting a specific vehicle you don't have, you spend 1.5 hours searching 6+ platforms. Most of the time, you can't find it—or can't find it at a price that works. Customer leaves. Lost sale. $3k profit gone.
Auction Becomes the Only Option
When aged inventory finally hits 120 days, you're out of options. Send it to auction. Pay $550 in fees. Take a loss. And who's sitting front row? Carvana and CarMax—buying cheap, then reselling to YOUR customers at retail markup.
Last week you sent an SUV to auction. Took a $2,000 loss and paid $550 in fees.
A dealer 200 miles away needed that exact vehicle. Had a customer waiting. Never saw your listing. Lost the sale.
Same day, they sent a sedan to auction that you needed. You never saw it.
You both lost money. You both missed sales. Carvana bought both vehicles cheap, then resold them to your customers.
This happens every single day across 16,800 dealerships.
Together,
you take it back.
The franchise network. Finally connected. 16,800 dealers. One platform. Real-time inventory trading before vehicles hit auction. Keep profit in franchise hands. Starve out the disruptors.
Inventory pulls automatically.
Zero manual work.
Your inventory is already managed in vAuto. DealerShare connects directly—no spreadsheets, no manual uploads, no extra work.
When a vehicle hits your lot, it's in the network. When it sells, it's out. Automatic.
12+ criteria.
One algorithm.
Year, make, model, trim, mileage, price, condition, color, fuel type, transmission, location preference, dealer rating. The matching engine reads them all.
Set your criteria once. Get instant alerts the moment a matching vehicle appears anywhere in the network—no more scrolling through six tabs.
Talk to the dealer.
Not the platform.
No automated emails. No black-box algorithms deciding for you. When you find a match, you go straight to the managing dealer.
Make an offer. Negotiate. Accept, counter, or pass. You stay in control of every deal.
Bundle vehicles.
Settle the cash difference.
Every negotiation lives in one shared room. Stack the vehicles you're selling on one side, the trade-ins coming back on the other. The platform totals it up and shows the net cash owed.
Counter, sign, accept—every action is stamped to the audit log so both sides see the same source of truth. No more chasing email threads or losing the final number in a phone call.
Make the deal.
We'll handle the rest.
We don't just connect you and disappear. Mail us both titles—we process them and forward to the receiving dealers with tracking.
Transportation coordination at negotiated rates. Payment processed through the platform. Five-stage workflow keeps both sides aligned end-to-end.
Before auction.
Before you lose.
Days 0–60, vehicles sell at retail on your lot. Days 60–90, they bleed at auction. DealerShare operates in the window between—days 30–60—where vehicles still have value in the franchise network, just not on your specific lot. Swap them to dealers who can move them. Keep the profit.
Five reasons franchise dealers
are signing up.
Inventory Optimization
Swap aged inventory for vehicles that match local demand. The sedan sitting on your lot for 90 days? Another dealer needs it—and has the truck you've been searching for.
Cost Reduction
Eliminate carrying costs on aged inventory. No depreciation bleeding. No auction fees. No floor plan interest stacking up.
Network Growth
16,800 dealers supporting each other. Community-driven inventory management. Franchise family keeping vehicles in the network.
More dealers = more inventory = more matches.
Starve the Competitors
Keep premium inventory away from Carvana, CarMax, Amazon. Without access to used cars at auction, these disruptors can't succeed. The "great retail merchandise" stays in franchise stores.
OEM Alignment
Manufacturers want CPO units staying at OEM retail stores. DealerShare delivers. A win for dealers AND their OEM partners.
OEM mandate potential = explosive growth.
