CARFAX Car Listings integration that lists your cars on CARFAX.com automatically

With CARFAX® Car Listings on your CARFAX account, turn on the CARFAX integration in AutoDealer.io and your cars are listed on CARFAX.com automatically. The cars you publish go up with their photos, price and description, your listings update every day, and sold cars come off on their own. CARFAX Car Listings is an upgrade for CARFAX Advantage dealers, bought from CARFAX.

CARFAX Car Listings integration: your inventory on CARFAX.com without the extra work

CARFAX Car Listings shows a dealer's cars to shoppers on CARFAX.com. With the integration turned on, AutoDealer.io keeps your CARFAX listings in step with the inventory you already manage: new cars go up, changes carry over and sold cars come down, every day.

  • No double entry

    Your CARFAX listings come from the cars you already keep in AutoDealer.io. There is nothing to type twice and nothing to upload.

  • Every photo, in your order

    Each listing carries every public photo, your listing photo first, in the same order as your website.

  • Your asking price, nothing else

    CARFAX gets your asking price. Never your cost, the invoice price, the original MSRP or your doc fee.

How your cars get to CARFAX.com

  2. It's listed automatically

    With its photos, price and description, and updated every day.

What does it cost?

Which price does CARFAX show?

Your asking price. CARFAX never gets your cost, the invoice price, the original MSRP or your doc fee.

Why isn't one of my cars on CARFAX?
