Setting Up GoHighLevel for Your Car Dealership – (Step-by-Step Tutorial)
Let’s keep it simple – we’ll both set up your account first, then follow the step-by-step strategies to put everything in place.
Here’s exactly how to do it:
Step 1: Create HighLevel Account for 30 Days Free
Since you’re just starting with GoHighLevel, you would need to properly set up your account.
And you can do that for free through our exclusive 30-Day Free Trial link here.
In order to start, head over to gohighlevel.com/30-day-free-tial free trial and click on “30 DAY FREE TRIAL” as you can see below.

Upon clicking on “30 DAY FREE TRIAL“, a page will pop that looks exactly like the image below.

If you take a closer look at the image above, you will see that you need to supply your:
- Business name
- Company name
- Company email
- Phone number
Supply all the pieces of information and click on “Go To Step #2.”
On the next page, you will be required to select the plan you want to opt in for.

As you can see from the image above, you can either choose from:
- HighLevel Starter Plan
- HighLevel Unlimited Plan
Select the HighLevel Unlimited Plan and continue – you can always upgrade to the SaaS Mode later if you want that or downgrade.
The next thing you want to do is supply your credit card information.
Note: You will not be debited anything today until the end of your trail that is if you don’t cancel. Keep in mind that $1 will be debited and refunded back instantly into your account just to test your card is working.
After you have supplied the information accordingly, click on “START YOUR 30 DAY FREE TRIAL” and you will be asked to confirm you’re not a robot.
After that, the page below will pop up.

The image above says, “Your Account has been created!” Now, you need to click on the blue button that says “Click Here to Get Started.“
Click on the blue button to start your onboarding process.
Step 2: GoHighLevel Onboarding Process
The onboarding questions help GoHighLevel understand why you have signed up for the platform so that it can tailor your experience accordingly.
This is all you need to do:
After you click on the blue button above, the page below will pop up.

As you can see above, you need to set up your password, and the password has to be:
- At least 8 characters long
- One lowercase letter
- One uppercase letter
- One number
- One special character
If you have input the password and it matches all the description above, everything will be green just the way it’s in the image.
Click on “Continue” there after, and the image below will pop up.

As you can see, a code will be sent to you to confirm your email address and phone number. The process is the same for the 2.
The next thing you need to do is to select how you plan to use GoHighLevel, as you can see below.

Select what best matches why you have signed up and click on Continue.
On the next page, you will be asked if you plan to resell GoHighLevel or not.

Select the answer based on the reason why you have signed up and click on “Continue”
Then, the page below will pop up.

From the image above, you need to select the industry that you fall on. You can also make use of the search button if you can’t find it right away.
Then, click on continue after you select your industry.

Then, the next thing you need to do is to select the number of clients that you currently have. Select “I don’t have any customers” yet if you currently don’t have one.
On the next page, you will be asked to select the platforms you currently use that you can integrate with GoHighLevel right away.

You can use the search button to search for any tools you want to add to your GoHighLevel account.
You can also skip this process and do it later if you want to.
After that, the page below will pop up.

The page above says your account is ready and is asking you to “Start Onboarding Call.”
The “Onboarding Call” allows you to connect with the Go High Level team in order to discuss your account set-up process and everything regarding your plan in using HighLevel.
If you don’t want to start the “Onboarding Call” yet, just stroll down, and you will see the button in the image below.

Simply click on “Not now, take me to my account“, and you will have access to your dashboard.
Note: If you have indicated that you want to resell HighLevel, you would have access to the agency dashboard by default, which looks like the image below.

But if you didn’t indicate interest in reselling GHL, your dashboard will look like the image below.

You can switch between these dashboards at any time.
The data you see on the dashboard above are not real data, they’re snapshots that you can use to kickstart your account setup process.
I want to say congratulations. You have successfully set up your Go High Level account.
Step 3: Create Your Dealership Workspace
Start by setting up your GoHighLevel account and creating a dedicated workspace for your dealership.
Inside this workspace, you’ll manage:
- Leads and inquiries
- Buyer communication
- Test drive bookings
- Negotiations
- Sales pipelines
- Finance and paperwork
- Team activity
- Automations
- Landing pages
- Inventory-related funnels
This becomes the central hub for your dealership operations.
Step 4: Set Up Your CRM for Leads, Buyers & Vehicle Sales
The CRM is where every lead and buyer’s journey will be tracked.
You want your pipeline to match the exact steps of your dealership workflow.
A typical car dealership pipeline includes:
- New Lead
- Contacted
- Appointment Scheduled
- Test Drive Booked
- Test Drive Completed
- Negotiation / Offer Sent
- Approved / Financing Ready
- Sold
- Delivered
- Review Requested
This gives your team a clear path to follow and prevents leads from slipping through the cracks.
Step 5: Import Past Leads & Customer Lists
If you have past leads or customers from spreadsheets, AutoTrader, Cars.com, Facebook Marketplace, or your website forms, import them into GoHighLevel.
You can tag them by:
- Vehicle interest
- Budget range
- Lead source
- Past purchase date
- Trade-in history
- Financing status
This allows you to market to your list more effectively and reactivate old leads.
Step 6: Add Your Sales Team & Set Permissions
Your sales team members will work inside the CRM, so set up user accounts for:
- Sales reps
- Finance managers
- Customer service reps
- Delivery coordinators
- Managers or team leads
GoHighLevel lets you assign permissions so each person only sees what they need.
Examples:
- Sales reps → Only their own leads
- Finance team → Only approved deals and documents
- Manager → Full visibility
This keeps everything organized and secure.
Step 7: Set Up Dealership Phone Numbers & Messaging
For smooth buyer communication, set up:
- A business phone number for your dealership
- SMS messaging for test-drive reminders
- Missed-call text-back
- Automated responses for new inquiries
- Shared inbox for your sales team
This ensures fast replies – which is critical in the car industry where buyers often compare multiple dealers.
Step 8: Build Your Dealer-Specific Calendars
Create calendars for:
- Test drives
- Showroom appointments
- Finance consultations
- Trade-in evaluation appointments
- Virtual vehicle walkthroughs
- Department calendars (Sales, Finance, Delivery)
- Staff-specific calendars
Each calendar sends automatic confirmations and reminders to reduce no-shows.
Step 9: Set Up Custom Fields for Buyer Details
Dealerships often need more information than just contact details.
Add custom fields such as:
- Vehicle interest (make/model/year)
- Budget range
- Financing needed?
- Trade-in details
- Preferred contact method
- Down payment amount
- Credit readiness
- Lead source
- Purchase timeline
These fields help your team understand each buyer quickly and personalize follow-ups.
Step 10: Enable Pipelines & Automations From Day One
Once the basics are set up, enable foundational automations like:
- New lead welcome sequence
- Missed-call text-back
- Test drive reminders
- Quote follow-ups
- Finance paperwork reminders
- Post-sale thank-you sequence
These workflows keep your dealership running smoothly with minimal manual effort.
Managing Leads, Buyers & Sales With the CRM

Your CRM is the backbone of your entire dealership. It’s where every lead enters, every buyer conversation happens, and every sale is tracked from first inquiry to final delivery.
When set up and used properly, it eliminates confusion, shortens response times, improves follow-ups, and helps your sales team close more deals consistently.
Here’s how to use GoHighLevel’s CRM to manage your leads, buyers, and full sales process effectively.
Organize All Leads in One Place
Instead of chasing leads across AutoTrader, Cars.com, Facebook Marketplace, your website, WhatsApp, and phone calls, GoHighLevel pulls all inquiries into one central inbox.
You’ll capture leads automatically from:
- AutoTrader
- Cars.com
- Your dealership website
- Facebook ads
- Google ads
- TikTok ads
- Landing pages
- Trade-in forms
- Lead magnets
- Walk-ins (added manually)
- Missed-call text-back
- Live chat / website chat widget
Every lead enters your pipeline instantly so nothing gets lost.
Use a Dealership-Focused Sales Pipeline
A structured pipeline helps your team know exactly where every buyer stands.
A recommended pipeline for dealerships:

- Offer Sent / Negotiation

- New vs used interest
- Price range
- Color preference
- Trade-in vehicle details
- Financing needs

This helps you personalize your follow-up and recommend the perfect vehicles.
Use Custom Fields to Capture Critical Buyer Information
Dealerships need details beyond basic name and phone number.
Create custom fields for:
- Credit readiness
- Pre-approval status
- Driver’s license upload
- Proof-of-income document status
- Down payment amount
- Preferred appointment time
- Urgency level
- Lead source (exact platform)
These fields make qualification easy and improve your team’s response strategy.
Assign Leads to Sales Reps Automatically
GoHighLevel allows smart lead assignment based on:
- Appointment time

- Lead source
- Sales rep availability
- Round-robin distribution
- Department rules (New cars, Used cars, EVs, Luxury)

Manage Conversations Inside One Unified Inbox
All communication with your buyers stays inside the CRM:
- SMS
- Phone calls
- Facebook Messenger
- Instagram DMs
- Google Business Messages
- WhatsApp (via integration)
You can reply from a single dashboard – making your dealership look fast, professional, and organized.
Track Test Drive Activity Easily
Each test drive gets logged inside the CRM with:
- Date & time
- Vehicle to be test-driven
- Assigned sales rep
- Buyer details
- Notes from the test drive
- Result (interested / not interested / needs follow-up)
This allows your team to follow up quickly, while the buyer’s interest is at its highest.
Monitor Negotiations & Offers
During the negotiation stage, you can document:
- Offers sent
- Counter-offers
- Financing options shared

This keeps the full negotiation history in one place.
Track Sales Progress From Lead to Delivery
Inside each contact record, you can update:

- Offer accepted
- Trade-in inspected
- Financing approved
- Paperwork sent
- Deposit paid
- Vehicle prepped
- Delivery scheduled
- Delivery completed
Everything is visible and updated in real time.
Use Smart Lists to Prioritize Hot Buyers
GoHighLevel lets you create smart lists such as:
- Leads who opened your emails
- Leads who clicked vehicle photos
- Leads who asked about financing
- Leads who missed their appointment
- Leads who viewed your offer but didn’t reply
These lists help your team focus on buyers most likely to purchase.
Automating Workflows for Car Dealerships

Automation is one of the biggest advantages GoHighLevel brings to your dealership.
Instead of manually chasing leads, reminding buyers about appointments, or following up after test drives, GoHighLevel handles everything automatically.
This keeps your sales team focused on selling while the system handles the repetitive work.
Here’s how to use automation to speed up your sales process, improve buyer experience, and close more deals.
Send Instant Responses to New Leads
When a lead inquires from AutoTrader, Cars.com, your website, Facebook Marketplace, or any platform, GoHighLevel can automatically send:
- A welcome SMS
- An email introducing your dealership
- A link to book a test drive
- Photos of the exact vehicle they asked about
- Contact details of the assigned rep
Fast responses increase your chances of closing – especially in a competitive market.
Automate Lead Assignment to Sales Reps
You can route leads automatically based on:
- Lead source
- Vehicle type
- Sales rep availability
- Round-robin distribution
- Department (Used, New, EV, Luxury)
This ensures the right rep gets the right lead without delays.
Book Test Drives Automatically
When a buyer shows interest, you can trigger a workflow that:
- Sends a booking link
- Suggests available time slots
- Assigns a rep

No manual scheduling needed.
Send Appointment Confirmations & Reminders
Automated reminders reduce no-shows by more than 50%.
GoHighLevel can send:

This keeps the momentum going while the buyer is still interested.
Streamline Negotiation Follow-Up
Negotiations often drag on because buyers delay responses.
Automation can handle:
- Offer reminders
- “Any questions?” messages
- Financing reminders
- Deposit prompts
- Limited-time offer alerts

This keeps your dealership top-of-mind and speeds up decision-making.
Automate Financing & Paperwork Reminders
Financing delays happen because buyers forget to send documents.
GoHighLevel can automate requests for:
- Driver’s license
- Income proof

- Financing update messages
- Trade-in value reminders
Cold leads often convert when reactivated with the right message.
Use Smart Logic to Personalize Automation
Advanced workflows let you create conditions like:
- If buyer opens an offer → send a follow-up
- If buyer doesn’t respond → send a reminder
- If financing approved → trigger delivery workflow
- If deposit paid → notify the sales rep
- If buyer ghosts → send a reactivation sequence
This creates a seamless, automated sales engine.
Appointment Scheduling for Showroom Visits & Test Drives

Appointment scheduling is one of the most critical parts of running a successful car dealership.
Buyers want fast, easy ways to book showroom visits, test drives, financing consultations, or trade-in evaluations – without waiting for a call back or dealing with unnecessary steps.
GoHighLevel gives you a clean, automated system that handles all bookings, reminders, confirmations, and rep assignments while keeping your team organized and your buyers informed.
Here’s how to use it to streamline your dealership’s scheduling process.

Building High-Converting Car Sales Funnels & Landing Pages

Your landing pages and funnels are where buyers make their first real decision about your dealership.
A strong page builds trust, presents the vehicle clearly, and moves the buyer toward booking a test drive or requesting more details.
GoHighLevel makes it easy to create professional, high-converting pages tailored to specific vehicles, promotions, or buyer types.
Here’s how to build funnels that turn website visitors into real leads and showroom appointments.
Create Vehicle-Specific Landing Pages
Buyers convert faster when they land on a page dedicated to a specific vehicle.
Examples include:
- “2023 Toyota Corolla – Special Offer”
- “Used Honda Accord – Certified Pre-Owned”
- “Electric Vehicles Demo Day – Book a Test Drive”
- “SUV Clearance Event – Limited Inventory”
Each page focuses on one vehicle or category, increasing conversions.
Showcase Vehicle Details Clearly
Your landing pages should feature:
- High-quality photos (interior, exterior, engine, dashboard)
- Model year, mileage, condition
- Trim level and packages
- Price or financing options
- Vehicle history overview
- Key features (safety, tech, comfort)
- Warranty information
- Certification badges (CPO, dealership guarantee)
This helps buyers feel confident before they contact you.
Use Strong Headlines That Hook Buyers
Your headline should instantly communicate the value.
Examples:
- “Book Your Test Drive for the 2023 Ford Explorer Today”
- “Affordable Used Cars With Low Mileage – Limited Stock”
- “Drive Home a Certified Pre-Owned Sedan With Zero Stress”
- “Looking for an SUV? See This Week’s Best Deals”
Clear, direct offers convert best.

Your forms should be short, clean, and easy to fill out.
Collect essentials like:
- Name
- Phone number
- Vehicle interest
- Appointment date (optional)

Build Finance Pre-Approval Pages
Financing is a major decision point.

- Sales tasks
- Follow-up sequences
This gives you a complete, automated lead conversion engine.
Running Email & SMS Campaigns for Engagement & Repeat Buyers

Consistent communication is one of the biggest advantages you can create as a car dealership. Most dealerships only contact buyers when they inquire – and that leaves a huge amount of money on the table.
With GoHighLevel, you can run automated email and SMS campaigns that nurture leads, bring back cold buyers, promote new inventory, and turn past customers into long-term repeat buyers.
Here’s how to use these campaigns to boost engagement and drive more sales.
Nurture New Leads With Automated Email & SMS Sequences
When a buyer shows interest – whether from AutoTrader, Facebook ads, your website, or a test drive form – GoHighLevel can automatically send a sequence that increases trust and moves them closer to booking.
Your nurture campaigns can include:
- Welcome message introducing your dealership
- Photos of the vehicle they asked about
- Pricing + financing information
- A link to book a test drive
- Sales rep contact details

These messages build confidence and reduce buyer hesitation.
Send Follow-Ups After Showroom Visits & Test Drives
Once a buyer completes a test drive, GoHighLevel can trigger:
- Thank-you SMS
- Vehicle summary + photos
- Financing or lease options
- “Ready to move forward?” message
- Limited-time incentives
- A follow-up call task for the sales rep
These timely messages help close deals while interest is high.
Promote New Inventory to Interested Buyers
Whenever new vehicles arrive, you can instantly notify:
- Leads who asked for similar models
- Past customers looking for upgrades
- Buyers looking for specific body types (SUV, sedan, EV, truck)
- Anyone who signed up for inventory alerts
Your campaigns can include:
- New arrivals
- Price drops
- Featured vehicles of the week
- “Just listed” used cars
- Limited-stock alerts
These promotions keep your dealership top-of-mind.
Send Seasonal & Holiday Promotion Campaigns
Car sales spike during specific times – holidays, end-of-year sales, and seasonal promotions.
Your campaigns can promote:
- Holiday sales
- Clearance events
- End-of-month deals
- End-of-quarter incentives
- New-year model releases
- EV tax incentive reminders
- “Get ready for summer” SUV campaigns
These campaigns drive predictable boosts in showroom traffic.
Reactivation Campaigns for Cold Leads
Many buyers start the process, pause, and come back later. GoHighLevel helps you re-engage them automatically.
Examples of reactivation messages:
- “Still considering a new vehicle?”
- “We just got a model you may like.”
- “Your preferred car is now discounted.”
- “Trade-in value estimates have increased this month.”
- “Book a quick test drive to restart the process.”
Cold leads often convert when reminded at the right time.
Trade-In Reminder Campaigns
Trade-ins are powerful because they create both a seller and a buyer.
Automate campaigns like:
- “Your car may qualify for a higher trade-in value this quarter.”
- “We are actively buying used vehicles – get a free appraisal.”
- “Ready to upgrade your vehicle?”
These messages generate high-quality leads with strong buying intent.
Finance & Pre-Approval Campaigns
Financing plays a huge role in buyer decisions.
Send campaigns that help buyers move faster, such as:
- Pre-approval reminders
- Financing tips
- Credit score education
- Low-down-payment promotions
- Monthly payment breakdowns
- Interest rate updates
Buyers who feel informed convert more easily.
Service & Maintenance Reminder Campaigns
For dealerships with service departments, GoHighLevel helps you bring customers back through:
- Oil change reminders
- Tire rotation reminders
- Warranty service reminders
- Recall alerts
- End-of-lease reminders
- Annual inspection reminders
These campaigns increase repeat revenue and keep your dealership top-of-mind.
Referral Campaigns for Past Customers
Happy buyers can become your best lead source.
Automated referral messages can include:
- “Refer a friend and earn a gift card.”
- “Get $200 off your next service with a referral sale.”
- “Know someone looking for a car? Send them our way.”
Referrals convert at a much higher rate and cost nothing to generate.
Use SMS When You Want Faster, Higher Engagement
SMS messages have the highest open and engagement rates.
Perfect for:
- Appointment reminders
- Price drop alerts
- New arrival alerts
- Quick follow-ups
- Test drive confirmations
- Financing reminders
SMS gets attention instantly – which helps you close deals faster.
Managing Payments, Quotes, Invoices & Financing Documents

Managing pricing, negotiations, financing documents, and payments is one of the most sensitive parts of running a car dealership.
Buyers expect clarity, speed, and transparency – and your sales team needs a clean system to send quotes, track approvals, collect deposits, and manage all financial paperwork.
GoHighLevel helps you handle everything in one place with professional quotes, digital invoices, online payments, and automated reminders that keep deals moving without back-and-forth chaos.
Here’s how to streamline your finance and sales workflow.

Instant quotes increase the chance of closing the deal before buyers visit another dealership.
Track Quote Views & Approval Status
You can see:

Automate Quote Follow-Up
If a buyer doesn’t respond to a quote, GoHighLevel can automatically send:
- A friendly reminder
- Updated availability (“Only 2 vehicles left”)
- Price drop alerts (optional)

Collect Deposits & Payments Digitally

Each invoice includes:

Collecting Reviews, Testimonials & Building Dealership Trust

In the car dealership business, trust is everything. Buyers want proof that your dealership is reliable, transparent, and delivers a smooth buying experience.
Strong reviews and real customer testimonials help you stand out, close deals faster, and increase walk-ins and test-drive bookings – especially when buyers are comparing multiple dealerships.
GoHighLevel makes this process easy by automating review requests, showcasing testimonials, filtering negative feedback, and building a strong online reputation that works 24/7.
