Every dealership needs a reliable log book. From tracking used car transactions to signing in guests, a good log book keeps your records straight.
We carry hardcover record books, guest sign-in logs, and kids' coloring books for your waiting area, all built for daily dealership use.
What Is a Dealership Log Book?
A dealership log book is a bound record used to track information over time. Some log books meet legal record-keeping rules, like a used car police book. Others track guests, prospects, or customer visits.
Dealerships use different log books for different jobs, from sales compliance to front-desk sign-in.
Types of Log Books
Used Car Record Books (Police Books)
These hardcover books log every used vehicle transaction. Many states require this kind of record for used car sales, which is why it's often called a "police book."
Each book holds hundreds of vehicle records in black ink, built to last for years of daily use.
Guest & Prospect Log Books
These books track walk-in and phone-in customers. Sales teams use them to log leads, follow up, and measure closing rates.
Some are simple sign-in pads. Others include structured fields for tracking prospects over time.
Children's Coloring Books
These are waiting-room activity books for kids, themed around cars, trucks, and traffic safety. They keep young visitors busy while parents handle paperwork.
How to Choose the Right Log Book
Purpose
Pick a record book for legal compliance and transaction tracking. Pick a guest log for lead tracking and sign-ins. Pick a coloring book for your waiting area.
Size & Binding
Record books use large hardcover formats built to last for years. Guest logs are often coil-bound pads, easy to flip through at a front desk.
Capacity
Record books hold hundreds of entries per book. Guest logs come in pads of 50 to 100 sheets. Coloring books come in bulk packs of 50 to 200.
Department
Match the book to the team. Sales and compliance need record books. Front desk and sales floor need guest logs. Service waiting areas need coloring books.
