FROM THE LOT TO THE LAST PAYMENT

The pieces of your business.
Finally, together.

J5Drive connects inventory with customers, contracts and payments. Built for independent used-car dealers in the United States, especially those who finance customers directly (Buy Here Pay Here).

Every car. Every detail.

Keep VIN, cost, price, photos and vehicle status together. Follow each unit from repair to sale, and choose which vehicles to publish in your catalog.

Keep track of balances and payments.

See balances, recorded payments and the next payment date for each contract. Identify overdue accounts and share receipts with customers.

One team. Individual access.

Organize owners, salespeople and collectors with role-based permissions. Each business keeps its data separate.

Decide before you bid.

Estimate your maximum bid using resale value, margin, fees, transport and repairs. The public calculator is free and requires no registration.

Less typing. More control.

Import vehicles and customers from Excel or CSV. Review each customer's history and organize contracts in the same workspace.

Your business goes with you.

Access your business from a phone or computer, in English or Spanish. Organize inspection appointments and use the in-app help assistant; if it cannot solve your question, open a support ticket and the J5Drive team replies.
