"I upload a CSV file to Carbase (my website provider). We then upload photos to our website once the inventory file has been sent. We edit any equipment on our own website. (Typically we are talking about items that a decoder CAN'T catch like custom wheels or aftermarket remote start). Carbase then sends my data on to CarGurus, Cars.com, AutoTrader, or anyone else that I want it to go to."
