How does service reminder automation work?

After a vehicle's repair order is closed with an oil change, the system schedules a service reminder for 3 months or 5,000 miles (configurable). Reminders are sent via email and SMS with a link to book the next appointment online.

How does the parts department work?

The parts module maintains inventory of OEM and aftermarket parts with bin locations. Parts used on repair orders are charged and decremented automatically. Reorder alerts trigger purchase orders when bin quantity falls below minimum.

What is the service absorption rate?

Service absorption rate measures how much of the dealership's total fixed costs are covered by service department gross profit. A 100% absorption rate means service alone covers all overhead - a key dealer financial health metric.

The Challenge

Why building a Auto Dealership from scratch is hard

Building a Automotive Dealership Management System from scratch requires months of development time and significant engineering resources. Teams struggle to coordinate frontend, backend, database, and authentication while managing auto dealership-specific business logic, integrations, and role-based access rules.

What's Included

Everything your Auto Dealership needs

ProjectCode generates a production-ready Auto Dealership with all the modules your team needs from day one.

Vehicle inventory with VIN, spec, and photo management

Customer lead capture and CRM with salesperson assignment

Deal desk: F&I product selection, financing, and contract packaging

Service department: appointment, repair order, and tech assignment

Parts inventory and purchase order management

Customer retention: service reminders and loyalty program

Commission tracking for sales and F&I

Dealership performance reports: gross profit, turn rate, CSI

Architecture

How it's built

The generated Auto Dealership follows production-grade architecture patterns.

React 18 + TypeScript frontend with role-based dashboards tailored for auto dealership workflows

NestJS REST API with dedicated auto dealership modules, DTOs, validators, and service layer

PostgreSQL relational schema with normalized tables for all auto dealership entities

JWT + Google OAuth authentication with granular permission gates per role

Real-time Socket.IO events for live auto dealership status updates and notifications

Managed hosting with one-click deploy, custom domain, and auto-SSL

Database

PostgreSQL schema designed for Auto Dealership

ProjectCode generates a normalized, indexed PostgreSQL schema with the right tables and relationships for your use case. You own the schema and can evolve it freely.

vehicles (id, vin, make, model, year, trim, color, mileage, condition, status, cost, msrp, dealer_id, added_at)
deals (id, vehicle_id, customer_id, salesperson_id, status, trade_in_value, financing_type, lender, rate, monthly_payment, front_gross, back_gross, closed_at)
repair_orders (id, customer_id, vehicle_vin, advisor_id, technician_id, type, complaint, cause, correction, parts jsonb, labor_lines jsonb, total, status, opened_at, closed_at)
service_appointments (id, customer_id, vehicle_vin, date_time, service_type, estimated_hours, advisor_id, status)

FAQ

Common questions about building a Auto Dealership

Front-end gross is the profit on the vehicle sale price vs dealer cost. Back-end gross is profit from finance and insurance (F&I) products like extended warranties and GAP insurance. Total deal gross is front + back. The deal desk module tracks both.
