### "CDK is great..If only it was more user friendly "

November 27, 2023

5.0

CDK is great, it has many features built in one single product.

Pros

I like that CDK has many important functions that add value to our daily operations. I like the fact it serves many functions in an all in one software.

Cons

I wish CDK was more user friendly. On the F&I side, be ready to train employees for weeks before being fully ready to sign a customer up.

### "Software unmatched!"

May 5, 2025

4.0

Great experience for the time I used CDK, it was a little difficult to learn the system at first, but once setup, it was a very smooth operation.

Pros

The part look up system, it worked very well. I really enjoyed the fact that when you type just partial part of a number you were looking for, it would pull all possibilites.

Cons

The adjustment system, such as bin counts. When adjusting a part out of inventory, sometimes it would adjust to a negative quantity, which would throw inventory levels off.

### "Don't choose CDK as your Provider!"

July 23, 2026

1.0

We signed contract with CDK, they signed us up with ADP third party payroll provider in 2016. In 2020 we changed payroll companies due to what we felt was a better fit for our company. In June of 2025 we received an IRS notice that our 2018, 2019, and 2020 940's had not been completed or were incorrect. I have been trying for over a year to get someone with ADP or CDK to speak with me. ADP says they can only speak with CDK. CDK is absolutely no help and is saying I have to contact the IRS to rectify. ADP debited our account for all returns during the years we were with them. The IRS will not help me as they say we did not file the returns and that ADP is the agent they need to speak with. our penalty is up over $200,000.00 as of today. I attempted to call IRS and ADP and CDK again today at no avail. I would not recommend CDK. Their support and responsibly cannot be trusted!

Pros

Have used them for 40+ years. Easy to learn. unfortunately, i do not have a lot of good things to say about CDK

Cons

Support or ownership of responsibilities is not part of their vocabulary. IRS issues with payroll that CDK payroll plus provided and once we termed our agreement with them, they will not assist with legal issues that were their responsibility at the time. They debited our account for tax payments and the IRS is stating they were short.

### "Could use some improvements"

June 7, 2026

4.0

My overall experience is good. I feel there a lot of things however that can be improved and have seen them offered on other programs.

Pros

I like that the information I need is in one place mand that it can be used for verious things, i.e. acounting, ordering etc.

Cons

What I like least is that you can only search by account number, invoice or part number and not by VIN or PO, it freezes up a lot and has had issues being usable at all numerous times in the last couple years and it does not save your settings when you change them, as soon as you restart your computer it goes back to the originaly settings, even though I have hit save numerous times in each screen it does not safe. For instance when you change the inversion color from the ugly gold to a different color it will not stay. I do wonder about how secure it is however especially after it was hacked last, it made work very difficult.

### "Romeo Auto Group Review from BDC Manager"

June 8, 2021

4.0

Elead is overall a great tool. There are some kinks that need to be worked out but unfortunately you are not able to contact anyone to make suggestions. Customer service is on the higher side when you call in, but the reps for the stores have not been the best. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] has been the ultimate breath of fresh air and even no longer being in charge of our account, still helps out when someone else can not get something solved. Compared to other CRMs I would say Elead has an edge up.

Pros

The easy accessibility to our customers. Multiple mining areas. Customized reports.

Cons

Lead assignment rules. Be-backs not being accurate. Having to call in for most things to be changed rather than just being able to make the changes yourself.

September 2, 2025

2.0

It gets the job done but with a disconnect on all sides. There are other DMS systems out there that flow much better and answer a lot of things that we need and CDK just doesn't seem to want to bring their system into the 21st century.

Pros

Not entirely sure if I can list something that I like the most. I have looked into other DMS systems and thus far, over the past three years, I have found that CDK is well behind the times and I can't think of anything I like the most other than I have been using it for 14 years and I know how to navigate through it.

Cons

Almost everything, very difficult to find things within CDK that you don't know about. Just the other day I tried to find where I could delete something out of the system, vendor codes/sources, and it took me almost an hour to figure it out even with the "launch code search" function.

### "Robust Dealer Management System"

March 17, 2025

2.0

Lots of pros and cons with using CDK. There are not a lot of great comprehensive choices for dealer management systems. CDK is not cheap and the customer service isn't always great, but it is very easy to use and train employees.

Pros

Robust system that is able to handle multiple locations and multiple charts of accounts across manufacturers

Cons

customer service, implementation, and down-time

### "Most Unethical penny pinching company I have ever used "

June 16, 2023

1.0

Over the nearly 30 years with CDK the only feeling I have towards them is regret for sticking with such a horrible company. I hope this helps anyone who is shopping for a quality DMS. Look at AutoMate first, I am not paid by them, actually I pay them, but I just regret not making the switch years ago.

Pros

There really isn't anything good to say about this company. Our company has been with them for nearly 30 years and every time the contract comes due they treat us like a new customer. The always try to increase their rates substantially and they will never miss an opportunity to overcharge. They charge top dollar for antiquated software and exploit their customers based on their contracts.

Cons

CDK is a Con. Their business model feels borderline criminal and was probably easier to execute when Reynolds and CDK were pretty much the only options. Now that there are multiple other options, that are both more cost effective and just overall better products with better customer service I would look elsewhere. There is a reason why the company net value is dropping like a rock.

Reason for choosing CDK Global

Seemed cost effective which when you receive the bill you get nickel and dimed so it actually was not the cheaper option

We appreciate your nearly 30 years of business and also taking time to provide feedback. Thank you for sharing your thoughts relative to rate increases. We, like most other companies, do increase our rates from time to time. This is done as a part of our business in order to cover changes in cost structure and to allow us to continuously improve our offerings for our customers to help them drive their business.

### "Had this software for @ 2 years, and they don't know rental. Support tries/development is terrible"

January 18, 2018

1.0

when selling large equipment there is a margin worksheet feature that the team seems to like. They shouldn't have sold us the software, and we tried hard to get them to be straight. They promised and promised things. I have a spreadsheet of things they promised, and they have done 3 of them. They don't communicate regularly, except people who are just support smoozers. They are currently offering a "Rental Summit" of some kind in Canada, but they don't know rental. I have offered to talk to the developers about "how" something should flow - but they never discuss what we want the system to do. This was a terrible mistake. We have 190 employees - and a number of them have said they want to leave because of this software. They stay because they are good / loyal employees and want to help us through this - and they probably are hoping I will replace the system, which I am close to doing. The most recent problem we've had is they are double crediting customers with refunds because their system doesn't stop it - they are saying it is working properly..... if you do a lot of rentals don't buy this software. If you operate a large equipment dealership ONLY, i think it is a good system. \\

Pros

accounts payable is the only person who likes it better than our last 2 systems - the parts system is workable, and will store non-stocked files that will pull in when added to an order - the part will include pricing so the guys don't have to look it up each time. They have a good check reconciliation system.

Cons

The rental system. There are NO aspects that work like any other system I've ever used. It cannot do math; there is no deposit feature, so if you want a deposit in addition the the rental you have to remember to "take it off" before you close a contract. Non serialized items are a mystery to them. They are only able to handle large equipment / equipment with individual stock numbers. Transferring is a nightmare. Reservations cannot be made for more than the number of items you own, so no multiple future reservations.

Thanks for the review and comment. Through our partnership with Integrated Rental, we have updated our rental software for heavy equipment dealers as of 12/3/2020 to help heavy equipment dealers simplify, standardize, and modernize their rental operations. We hope this collaboration and update resolves the issues our heavy equipment dealers faced with the rental operations platform prior to the update.

### "CDK / E-Leads User for 6 Years"

November 28, 2023

5.0

Pros

Our dealership came from not using a CRM tool at all, to using E-Leads/CDK. We were manually tracking our customers in our own DMS and data base, and our follow up and reporting was based on a notepad! The best part of CDK is the the CRM aspect and ease with following up with customers. The product makes it very easy to reach out to prospects, and to follow up on old ones and ones that have already been sold. There is the ability to write notes about after-the-sale items that need notated, and everyone can read them there is no lack of connectivity!

Cons

Customer support! That is our only complaint. We had an issue where certain leads from our own website would come in based out of a Wisconsin address. No one at CDK was able to know why, mainly pointing the finger at our own website. CDK has trouble talking to and working out problems with other third-party providers. There has been a work-around implemented to work out the issue however.

Overall pleasant experience with CDK. If I ever experience an issue, CDK support is wonderful. They will create a case, assign someone to assist you, and they will not close the case until you are satisfied with the outcome.

Pros

The integration with ADP makes it easy to import timesheets. The desktop tool and trend reporting functions are efficient. Everything you need located on one screen. If you like to move quickly, the enter button will become your best friend!

Cons

I do not have any issues utilizing CDK Global.

### "Very frustrating. Product has a lot of features, but design is awkward."

October 10, 2017

2.0

Offers some coordination of sales consultant and management. Tracks sales.

Pros

Able to send custom vehicle brochures, price quotes and pictures. Can send automated emails to customers. Good tracking of sent and received emails. Frequent online training sessions available.

Cons

Search inventory for vehicle: when launched from customer record, eleads doesn't look for vehicle associated with customer. Phone/email. Cannot change next task. Have to lie about completing it then change default to what's needed. All new leads come in requiring phone call and email. Completing either of these tasks removes "new lead" attribute and drops them off that screen. Have to devise workaround to keep track of leads that still require action. Vehicle pic manager hard to use. Cannot delete multiple pics at one time. After uploading a new pic, it closes all the folders -- you have to re-open them to insert an image into an email. No way to prioritize customers. Hot customers get mixed on the same list as non-responding customers. No good way to mark a lead that is looking for a specific car then be triggered to call them when it gets here. New or used. When composing an email, if you close the box you're in, you lose everything. No warning to save. HTML editor acts differently than any other one I have ever used. Awkward. No way to use an email template in an e-brochure. No way to sort a search results list by rep, customer, date or vehicle. No audible notification for new leads. No way to look at an overview of all the communications that have occurred with a customer. Must open each task and view every communication note individually. Merge codes are unreliable - tech support was no help after 4 calls.

### "Large Market Share and No Innovation - Poor Service"

October 28, 2019

3.0

They are only a means to an end. We have been on the lookout for other DMS softwares to move forward with for years now. We are only waiting for our current contract to end.

Pros

CDK is a means to an end. We need an auto-dealer specific software and CDK just happens to be the one we signed up with 5 years ago. It helps us get what we need to done.

Cons

There has been little to no innovation and their customer service is horrible. It's impossible to get anyone on the phone to help resolve issues and their chat/message service is horribly slow and the people they have serving you don't know the product and can't help and just end up "escalating" the matter to someone higher up than them which then could take days longer to get a response. They lock you in to multi-year contracts because they are large and hold a lot of the market share.

### "CDK Global"

July 15, 2021

3.0

Using CDK Global makes my job so much easier and saves time trying to find information when its needed. Any information I need to know is all stored in one place. Information about each vehicle such as the year, make, model, vin, color, warranty start date, etc. It keeps multiple employees organized and updated on current availability/sold inventory. Also keeps information on the sale of each vehicle such as the customer who purchased it, their contact information and so much more.

Pros

CDK keeps track of all new and used inventory. Keeps keep everyone who works for the company aware of what inventory we have and the status of it such as if its available, sold or delivered.

Cons

The only thing that I would say is a con is some times it glitches and vehicles are duplicated which may be more of a user error. Also once in a while it will say that a new vehicle could not be entered because it already exists when it doesn't. Small cons though for such a useful software.

### "A Robust System"

December 18, 2018

4.0

I use CDK Global on a weekly basis to support my customers, and I have found that it is the most user friendly tool out of its competition.

Pros

I specifically like case management section in DealerSuite, I can quickly search all of my open cases by a specific date range, or just all of my cases since I started using the software. Additionally, once you click on a case to review it, CDK does a great job of neatly organizing the case notes in a manner that creates a simple environment that is easy to read. Their support is extremely helpful and everyone I have worked with their truly seems to want to help resolve your issue, and also recommend more efficient ways at tackling tasks in the system.

Cons

The only difficulty I have with this software is that it is only accessible via Internet Explorer. As an employee of a company that uses Mac products exclusively, this presents a large problem as Internet Explorer is not available to Mac users, so I have to use a 3rd party application that runs through Chrome and immitates IE. I would have no complaints whatsoever if CDK was able to make their software usable on Chrome!

### "Work in Progress"

January 31, 2017

3.0

Although I am not privy to the actual cost for this service, I can only provide the info of what we experience and what we deal with. Although nothing is perfect, everything has areas for improvement. At times, I feel that there are gremlins in the system as the workflow and some settings seem to change all by itself when assigning the appropriate personnel or task. When it does not assign it right, customer service is always ready to look at the issue and figure out what went wrong. I believe it would be beneficial for ELEAD to offer some kind of training meeting to attend to fully watch or learn about the system. There does seem to be a ton of unnecessary reports....and there has been a couple of times some reports don't produce the right number when looking at another similar report. After talking with customer service representative, he was able to produce some recommended reports to use in the meantime. Also, it would really be beneficial with the texting feature for that to count as a form of contact with the customer. I know that there is a report that shows the number of texts sent but that does not transmit to Subaru. Customer service representative can work through the issues that we have!

Pros

For me, it is pretty simple to use......

Cons

Hard to say as I was not the one who originally set up the workflows......I am always having to fix something once it happens.

### "Industry Fit"

August 22, 2018

4.0

We couldn't handle a dealership with daily activities this large without a program like CDK/PFW. When we last upgraded the software and added additional branches we compared to the industry competitor in our brand, and this was over less expensive over the coming 5 years.

Pros

The CDK/PFW software is rather good for the Agricultural/Turf dealer. We're using it SAS and uptime is usually pretty good. They have spent time integrating to our OEM manufacturer. That helps. There are many module/features that help monitor and run the dealership, and there are others that while they exist we are not taking advantage of.

Cons

Their support staff seldom have worked in a dealership and don't understand that day to day frustrations and time constraints we work with. While they are upgrading the software they have chosen to upgrade the user interface screens and our people in all locations don't like the new interface. The functionality is still there, but just not as easy to get to things we're used to, and that takes up more time.

### "Helpful Performance Managers"

July 31, 2018

4.0

Pros

Once you are trained, it is easy to navigate. If we ever need help, our performance manager is available and will go beyond what we asked for.

Cons

Some reports are not accurate if you've been using it for a while. There are recommended ones marked but it can sometimes be confusing. It would be good to clean out the ones we should not use.
