### "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 They had an old, outdated and clunky system.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.

### "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

### "\[sensitive content hidden\] is awesome and takes care of us!"

February 10, 2026

5.0

I have been working with \[sensitive content hidden\], she has been training me and asssisting me with all me set up. She is very friendly, calls when she says she will and always goes over and beyond to make sure im happy and satisfied with everything.

Pros

I love the way it allows you to do everything you need to run the business. I am able to keep track of all activity of me and my team.

Cons

Honsetly i would say none, but if i had to pick something it would be the process of setting everything up, its worth it just takes some time. And \[sensitive content hidden\] has been awesome helping with that.

### "DealerCenter DMS Review "

March 4, 2026

5.0

DealerCenter’s DMS has completely transformed how we run our dealership. The platform is intuitive, efficient, and brings inventory management, deal processing, customer records, and reporting together in a single, seamless system. It’s simplified our daily operations, improved organization across the board, and saved us a ton of time. After using DealerCenter, there’s no chance we’d consider switching back to Wayne Reaves

Dealer center helps in creating custom dashboards and reports to know every aspect of the performance of your dealership. An amazing software indeed.

Helps it's users to create an online shopping experience which their customers are expecting. Safe and secure software which helps us analyze customer data and marketing.

Cons

Its a bit difficult for new employees to work with.

### "A Great, Big Monster of a Software Package"

September 12, 2024

2.0

It offers "entry impact," by including everything one could request, but much of that is only good for the initial "wow" effect when finding new buyers for the software, on the practical side, it is much less "wow" & more "ow." After a few days of logging onto the system to become oriented w/ navigation, it becomes a burden to determine which tool or icon to select & ultimately, I find myself fatigued attempting to figure out more "stuff" just to accomplish the basics.

Pros

Dealercenter included practically every category of use a dealership could need.

Cons

The software is unnecessarily complicated & even intimidating when simply attempting to make sense of it- offering a MUCH simpler version w/ needed items for a small/average dealership would be much more effective. Also, every additional functionality required additional payments along w/ additional software support to implement, plus it made an already overly busy interface even more convoluted. The programmers (who give themselves fancy names like "architect" or "engineer") likely pat themselves on the back for all that they have come up w/, but only they & other IT people actually like their product, they should attempt to sell for once & perhaps it would dawn on them that the rest of us aren't impressed w/ fancier, glorified calculators. The objective of the software has gotten lost in the weeds of complexity.
