Facebook Vehicles Tab for Used Car Dealerships

Massively underutilised, the Facebook Vehicles Tab is a fantastic way of maximising the exposure of your vehicles to potential used car buyers.

The ‘Vehicles Tab’ is located on your Facebook Page. It allows the advertisement of all your vehicles to your audience. From here, potential buyers can browse your entire stock.

If you’re familiar with how Facebook works, you’ll know how a post will quickly disappear down your audience’s timeline (for which we have a separate solution). However, the vehicles tab allows you to always show a page of your entire stock that can be kept up-to-date automatically using AutoVici.

Let’s have a deeper look at how this works!

Facebook to Stand Down Marketplace Partner Programme

In order to encourage dealerships to utilise their Facebook Pages, Instagram accounts and sponsored ads, Facebook has announced that automatic listings via partners will cease as of 13th September 2021.

In a global-wide decision affecting all automotive listing partners, no further uploads will be automated through authorised 3rd parties.

Dealerships can still upload via their personal profiles as before or, as their business page (in certain regions only excluding the UK).

Spending Too Much Time Posting to Facebook?

Today marks an exciting day for all Carlover MyDealer customers. Our much-anticipated automated social media publisher for Facebook is set to be released on Monday 28th September 2020.

We’ve been working hard building and testing this latest feature based on feedback and steer from you, our customers.

We understand the immense value that a Facebook presence can bring to a used car dealership. We also understand how time-consuming it can be to manage all of your profiles while still running every aspect of your dealership.
