## Reviews

### "Software unmatched\!" — 4.0/5

> **ZACHARIAH** | *5 May 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "Could use some improvements" — 4.0/5

> **Audra** | *7 June 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "Assistant Parts Manager" — 2.0/5

> **Austin** | *2 September 2025* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "Wholesale parts sales mgr" — 5.0/5

> **Anthony** | *8 June 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Productivity reports, sales reports, not very difficult to navigate, the ability for someone new to system to pick up quickly
> 
> **Cons**: Lack of more types of OEM sales by parts , more efficiency tracking g by departments, too much cut and pasting
> 
> Overall it is the best system in OEM world, customer service and helpline is phenomenal and handles any tasks requests quickly

-----

### "Robust Dealer Management System" — 2.0/5

> **Brenda** | *17 March 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Robust system that is able to handle multiple locations and multiple charts of accounts across manufacturers
> 
> **Cons**: customer service, implementation, and down-time
> 
> 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.
