How to manage your DealerClub integration

The integration between AccuTrade and DealerClub gives you a streamlined path to evaluate, appraise, and wholesale vehicles — all within one connected workflow. When a retail exit doesn’t make sense, you can send vehicles directly to auction in just a few clicks.

This article walks you through how to use the integration to move vehicles from AccuTrade to DealerClub efficiently.

Note: If you already have a DealerClub account, you can start using the integration right away. If you’re new to DealerClub, sign-up and verification takes just a few minutes, and you can typically list your first vehicle within 24 hours.

To get started

Go to the Cars.com Hub, and then click on AccuTrade.

1 Appraise and assess a vehicle
