What is Motor Traders Assistant?

Standard accounting software often falls short when it comes to handling the VAT Margin Scheme and VAT stock book, critical components for used vehicle dealerships, unlike Motor Traders Assistant (MTA). Specifically designed for the automotive sector, MTA serves as an independent accounting solution aimed at streamlining financial management for motor traders. Established in 1999, MTA Software Solutions has evolved as a family-owned business that has steadily expanded its reach over the years. The user-centric design of Motor Traders Assistant emphasizes ease of use, guiding users through accounting processes and minimizing the potential for mistakes. With nearly twenty years of experience, our small family-run company proudly supports a diverse clientele of hundreds across the UK. Many of our users have cultivated personal connections with us, as we prioritize delivering efficient service tailored to individual needs. Rod and Sam, who both possess degrees in computer science, expertly handle our technical support, while Claire manages inquiries related to dealer accounts. Furthermore, we provide advice on tax matters and legal concerns, reinforced by a dedicated team of part-time sales representatives ready to assist customers. Our unwavering commitment to client satisfaction inspires us to not only enhance our offerings but also to build enduring relationships within the motor trade community, fostering a sense of trust and reliability among our clients. As we continue to grow, we remain focused on adapting to the evolving needs of the industry.

What is GARAGEBIRDS?

GARAGEBIRDS offers a cloud-based software solution specifically designed for independent used-car dealerships and smaller lots. This innovative platform gathers all vital information related to each vehicle—such as specifications, images, purchase costs, reconditioning expenses, asking prices, deals, and paperwork—into a cohesive record that traces the vehicle's journey from acquisition to its eventual sale. The free plan, which does not require a credit card and supports unlimited users, provides features like VIN decoding, inventory management, listings, and cost tracking that accurately calculates the true profit margin for each vehicle. It also includes cash desking tools with a detailed margin view for every transaction, along with built-in forms for title, registration, and bills of sale that are applicable in all 50 states and automatically filled with deal information. Additionally, the software captures buyer contacts automatically for future follow-up. For those seeking more advanced features, the Pro plan is offered at $49 per month when billed annually, or $59 on a monthly basis, and includes a 14-day trial without the need for a credit card. This plan enriches the software with finance desking features, such as amortization schedules, Smart Print Forms for dealer contracts, as well as leads and contact history management, and introduces the Posting Assistant. This convenient Chrome extension streamlines the listing process by automatically filling in vehicle details for platforms like Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, eBay Motors, Cars.com, and AutoTrader, enabling dealers to easily review and publish their listings. The comprehensive functionality of the software not only enhances operational efficiency but also empowers dealers to manage their businesses more effectively and profitably.
