How to Use Gmail Aliases to Track Dealer Emails

How It Works

Gmail lets you add a plus sign (+) and any word after your username.

Example:

  • Your main email: me@jackthecarguy.com
  • For Honda dealership: me+ honda@jackthecarguy.com
  • For Toyota dealership: me+ toyota@jackthecarguy.com

All emails sent to these aliases still go to your main inbox, but you can create filters to sort them automatically.

Why This Helps

  • Instantly see which dealership is contacting you
  • Create filters to organize conversations
  • Maintain privacy while staying organized

This small trick is one of many practical tools I share in The Insider’s Guide to Buying a Car.
