Autofunds
Web-based dealership management and F&I software for automotive dealers
Updated August 11, 2026
Autofunds Overview
autofunds.com is a browser-based dealer management system for new and used vehicle retailers, including businesses with multiple users or locations. It brings inventory, customer records, deal calculations and sales paperwork into a shared system that staff can access from anywhere.
Dealers can decode VINs, track vehicle acquisition and repair expenses, check vehicle values, distribute listings, manage leads and credit checks, prepare F&I products, send finance applications, print forms and register vehicles. It can also run an inventory-linked dealer website. Together, these tools support the dealership’s daily operations, well beyond lead follow-up alone.
Key Features

Pros
| Competitor | Where this tool may fit better |
|---|---|
| Dealertrack | If Dealertrack is on the shortlist, Autofunds is shaped around the practical needs of independent dealers and can be used through a browser without buying into an enterprise DMS ecosystem. Its narrower scope may shorten evaluation and rollout for a small operation. |
| Frazer | Web access and support for multiple locations are central to Autofunds, which can help staff who work away from one dealership computer. Frazer offers desktop and hosted routes, but its operating model remains closer to a traditional independent-dealer DMS. |
| DealerCenter | Buyers considering DealerCenter will see a different approach. Inventory, deal calculations, F&I forms and customer records sit within one Autofunds process. Dealers that want those core jobs without selecting from a large module menu may find the buying decision easier to contain. |
Cons
| Competitor | Where the rival may have the edge |
|---|---|
| Dealertrack | Dealertrack is designed for more connected dealership departments and a wider lender, compliance and Cox Automotive environment. Autofunds is unlikely to satisfy a franchise group that needs manufacturer-facing integrations, reporting for large groups or extensive fixed operations. |
| Frazer | For a team deciding, Frazer publishes recognizable monthly desktop and hosted subscriptions, while Autofunds combines setup fees with recurring or usage-based data services. The latter structure makes the first-year and ongoing totals harder to compare without a line-by-line estimate. |
| DealerCenter | DealerCenter supplies a larger current catalog for accounting, BHPH, service, reconditioning, websites and compliance. Autofunds covers the independent-dealer basics, but a store adding departments may reach the edge of its publicly documented scope sooner. |
Reviews
Capterra: The profile reports 4.3 out of 5 from eight reviews, a useful but small sample. Comments touch on operating efficiency, the dealer website and reliability, so a buyer should read the individual reviews instead of treating the average as settled consensus.
Apple App Store: The mobile listing confirms that the app belongs to Autofunds and supports its dealer workflow. Its store presence is useful for checking mobile access, but it should not be blended with the Capterra score or treated as a rating for every web feature.
