FAQs — IT support for car dealerships
Q.What IT support do car dealerships need?
Car dealerships have complex IT requirements spanning sales (DMS, CRM, manufacturer portals, vehicle appraisal systems), aftersales and workshop (diagnostic equipment, parts management, booking systems), finance (FCA-regulated motor finance processing, GDPR-sensitive customer data), and showroom operations (customer Wi-Fi, digital displays, CCTV). Coreitech provides managed IT for the full dealership technology stack.
Q.Can you support our Kerridge or Pinewood DMS?
Yes. We support Kerridge CDK, Pinewood DMS, Dragon2000, Autoline, and other dealer management systems — including their server infrastructure requirements, database management, network dependencies, manufacturer portal integrations, and first-line support for sales and aftersales teams. We work with your DMS vendor on complex issues and manage updates to minimise disruption.
Q.How do you help dealerships meet FCA requirements?
FCA Consumer Duty and motor finance regulations require dealerships to maintain appropriate IT controls around customer data, audit trails, and communication records. We implement access controls, comprehensive audit logging, data retention policies, GDPR-compliant customer data handling, and Cyber Essentials certification — all of which support FCA compliance and evidence requirements.
Q.Can you support our manufacturer systems and portals?
Yes. Most franchised dealerships access multiple manufacturer systems and portals alongside their DMS. We manage the IT environment that supports reliable access to these systems — network configuration, device management, browser compatibility, VPN requirements, and first-line troubleshooting before escalating to manufacturer IT support.
Q.How much does IT support for a car dealership cost?
Managed IT support for car dealerships is typically priced per-user for office and showroom staff (£65–£95/user/month) plus per-site infrastructure management for showroom Wi-Fi, workshop networking, and CCTV. A typical single-site dealership pays £800–£2,000/month all-inclusive. Multi-site dealer groups benefit from volume pricing.
