Dealer-FX has been popping on my radar lately. A few friends are checking it out and then asking me what I think. Other than a short peak during my Dealertrack days, when we were discussing acquisitions, I haven't spent much time getting to know this service solution.

Word on the street is they're snagging up Xtime dealers left and right.
 
Alex, we use their scheduling tool under the wiadvisor brand name, mostly with FCA dealers - I think they have a national contract with FCA. I have not had one Xtime dealer switch to Dealer-FX. The scheduling tool is a little clunky compared to others and one flaw is it will not pull sold customers that have not had their car in for service yet. So if a customer purchased the vehicle 6 months ago, but has not had the car in for service, you have to treat them as if they had never been to the store before and enter all their information in the system.

Alex Snyder asks for feedback on Dealer-FX, a service scheduling solution gaining market traction, particularly among dealers allegedly switching from Xtime. Tom Massengale provides the only substantive response, noting his dealership uses Dealer-FX's scheduling tool (branded as wiadvisor) primarily under an FCA national contract, but identifies a significant functional limitation: the system fails to automatically pull in sold customers who haven't yet visited for service, requiring duplicate data entry. Despite rumors of converting Xtime dealers, Massengale reports no actual migrations he's witnessed.
