### "Reliable inventory and deal management for dealerships"

July 3, 2026

4.0

Overall. Dill center is a very reliable and comprehensive dealership management system. It works great for managing inventory and desking deals quickly on the sales floor. While the mobile app could be faster on the lot and the cost add up, it remains an essential tool that helps our dealership run smoothly every day

Pros

Dealer center is a great all-in-one platform that makes it incredibly easy to manage our vehicle inventory, run credit reports, and structure deals for customers. This is some updates very quickly, and having access to auction data and vehicle history reports directly in one place saves our sales team team by ton of time during the day

Cons

The mobile app can be quite slow and laggy when you are out on the lot trying to scan a VIN number or upload vehicle photos. I also feel like the user interface looks a bit outdated, and the monthly subscription pricing can get a bit expensive as you add more license for the team

### "All in one solution for independent dealers"

June 18, 2026

5.0

Overall dealercenter has genuinely transformed how we run our dealership. Coming from a fragmented setup with different tools for each task to now having everything under one roof making our efficiency better then ever. Customer service is always available and are always a pleasure to speak to anytime I have issues which barely ever happens anymore.

Pros

As a used vehicle dealer their CRM has been critical for our successful. Dealercenter gives me most of the tools I need during my day to day use because it’s a dms, CRM and inventory manager all in one so it saves me money every month not having to pay multiple softwares.

Cons

There are 2 things have been bothersome to me about dealercenter and it’s the website they provide for displaying inventory and info. The website looks like it’s something made in the early 2000s. Secondly finding old deals is a pain to do.

### "DECENT FOR THE MONEY BUT THERE ARE BETTER OPTIONS"

November 27, 2024

3.0

Pros

ROBUST SYSTEM FOR THE PRICE. EASY INTEGRATIONS.

Cons

IT'S UPDATED REGULARLY AND THINGS CHANGE TO MAKE IT "BETTER" BUT IT'S LESS AND LESS USER FRIENDLY. IT GETS MORE BUGS IN IT AND OPERATES SLOWER. AS THEY TRY TO IMPROVE IT, THE USABILITY AND FUNCTIONALITY DECREASES

Alternatives considered

### "Game Changer"

September 11, 2025

5.0

Switching from our old system to DealerCenter has been a game changer for our dealership. The CRM alone has already produced more customer response and engagement than we ever saw with our previous setup. Their training is clear, practical, and top-notch, and the support team is truly next level — quick, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile. I especially want to highlight our reps, \[sensitive content hidden\], who have been outstanding. They're always available when I have a question, incredibly helpful, and make the entire process smooth. DealerCenter has exceeded every expectation.

Pros

I am getting so much more customer interaction with DealerCenter. I'm closing more deals now than ever. And any questions that I have are answered almost immediately by my reps. Even if they don't know the answer right away they get back to me quickly. And adding Deal Driver to my account has changed everything! As soon as I added it my CRM blew up!

Cons

There's a bit of a learning curve, but that's to be expected I think when switching software companies.

DealerSocket did not see the need to change anything and we just outgrew them. They had an old, outdated and clunky system. DealerCenter is so fresh and has everything we need to run our day to day business with.

### "Best DM around for the price"

November 30, 2024

5.0

Excellent, I've tried other DMs and they don't compare, in my opinion. As I've helped many independent dealers open their dealerships, I always set them up with Dealer Center.

Pros

It's user-friendly, has a beautiful interface, and it is quite powerful. It's also flexible where you can add products useful to you as you need them, which keeps the pricing very competitive. It constantly has improvements that makes things better and better each time.

Cons

That it logs you off very randomly, and has a few kinks here and there when there are new updates.
