Auto Dealer
The post-CDK operating stack for independent dealers.
5–30 unit independent used-car dealers. Frazer-DMS or similar lightweight stack. Post-CDK-ransomware refugees welcome.
When CDK Global went dark in June 2024, 15,000 dealerships discovered exactly how fragile the legacy DMS stack is. We built Auto Dealer for what happens next: a lightweight operating layer that sits on top of Frazer, DealerSocket, or vAuto and handles the work that decides whether a deal closes — sub-5-minute lead acknowledgment, VIN-correct listings posted to every major aggregator, and F&I compliance scaffolding for TILA Reg Z and the FTC Used Car Rule.
