Facebook Marketplace for car dealers
AutoLens is dealership software that gets your inventory onto Facebook Marketplace without retyping it. The Chrome extension captures each vehicle from your own website, and AI writes the listing from that vehicle’s specs. The extension then prepares the Marketplace listing in your browser for you to review or publish.
Your dashboard then tracks every unit as ready, draft or posted, shows who posted it, and flags exactly what Facebook still needs before a vehicle can go up.
Local buyers browse Facebook Marketplace for vehicles the same way they browse it for everything else: by location, price and photos. For a dealership that means every unit on the lot is a listing someone has to build by hand.
Building one is slow. The year, make, model, trim, mileage, price and equipment already sit on your website, but Marketplace wants them typed again. The photos have to be downloaded and uploaded again. The description has to be written again. Multiply that by a lot’s worth of inventory and it becomes the job nobody on the sales floor wants.
Then the listings have to be managed: which units are up, which are still drafts, which went up weeks ago and need attention, and which salesperson put each one there. Most dealers track that in a spreadsheet, or not at all.
Capture a vehicle from your own website with the AutoLens Chrome extension, add it by hand, or connect the inventory feed your DMS or website provider already produces so it syncs every hour. All three land in one shared inventory.
A short description is written from that vehicle’s own specs: trim, engine, drivetrain, colour and equipment. See how AutoLens writes vehicle descriptions.
Each vehicle shows FB Ready, Incomplete or On Hold, and Incomplete says what’s missing: photos, price, mileage, description or location.
The extension fills in the Facebook Marketplace listing form in your own browser, signed in to your own Facebook account. Your dealership decides whether it publishes or stops so a person can check it first.
Ready, draft and posted are tracked per vehicle, posts that have been up a while are flagged for renewal, and the Posted screen shows who put each unit up.
Everyone on your plan sees the same inventory, whoever captured the vehicle, and it updates live when a colleague edits or posts a unit.
Two salespeople can list the same unit from their own Facebook accounts, and each listing is tracked to the person who posted it.
A contact number is added to every description automatically, so buyer texts reach the rep or the dealership line that routes to the AI Responder.
Add a line such as a financing promo or disclaimer to every listing. It is added exactly as written and never rewritten by the AI.
Optional bi-weekly or monthly payment details display in the description with an automatic disclosure, while the full price is the price listed.
Descriptions use the right words for your business: vehicles or units, test drives or test rides. See AutoLens for powersports dealers.

Worth knowing before you decide, not after.
Sold units stop being prepared again, but taking a live Marketplace listing down is still done by hand.
Facebook Marketplace only. AutoTrader, Kijiji and other sites are not supported.
Listings are prepared in your own browser and Facebook session, so nothing happens while the computer is off.
Capture is for your own dealership website, or inventory you are authorized to advertise.
