"Add to My Garage" saves a vehicle, article, or product to a member's personal profile page in one click, with an optional, separate share step to post it to social. The save action and the share action are deliberately decoupled — saving never auto-posts to a member's feed, which keeps the feature useful as a private bookmarking tool as well as a public one.
At a glance
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
| Click "Add to My Garage" | Item saved to the member's profile page, private by default |
| Toggle profile visibility | Member chooses public, followers-only, or private for their whole Garage |
| Optional "Share" step | Separate button posts a card with image + link to the member's chosen social platform |
| Removal | Member can remove any saved item from their Garage at any time |
What the button actually does
"Add to My Garage" is a save/bookmark action tied to a member's profile. Clicking it adds the current vehicle listing, article, or product to a personal "Garage" page — a running collection a member can return to later, similar to a wishlist or saved-items list on a retail site, but framed around vehicles and gear rather than generic products.
Why saving and sharing are separate steps
A single button that both saved an item and auto-posted it to a member's followers would either spam their feed with every casual save, or discourage them from saving anything they weren't ready to broadcast. Splitting the two actions means a member can quietly build a private shortlist while comparing SUVs, and only share the ones they actually want followers to see.
The two-step flow
- Step 1 — Save: click "Add to My Garage"; item is saved privately by default, no social activity generated
- Step 2 — Share (optional): from the Garage page, a separate "Share" button generates a preview card (image, title, short excerpt) the member can post to their chosen platform
Profile visibility controls
- Private — only the member can see their own Garage
- Followers-only — visible to accounts the member has approved as followers
- Public — visible to anyone visiting the member's profile page
What gets included in a shared Garage post
When a member does choose to share a saved item, the generated preview card follows standard Open Graph metadata conventions (title, image, short description, canonical link) so it renders consistently whether shared to Facebook, X, or messaging apps, rather than posting a bare link.
Why this matters for engagement
Letting members build a private collection first, then choose what to make public, tends to produce higher-quality shares — members share vehicles and articles they've actually settled on or are excited about, rather than every item they glanced at, which keeps shared content more relevant to the people who see it.
A public Garage page reveals a member's saved vehicles and interests to anyone who visits their profile — members comparing purchases they'd rather keep private should use the private or followers-only setting.
