New GM Website Options

[Ryan Everson]

It sounds like GM will finally be opening their dealer website program up to vendors besides CDK!

1. Do you plan on staying with CDK?
2. Which website vendor(s) are you hoping get approved?
3. When do you think GM will officially announce it?

A good move!

Although this seems exciting, GM will put the same backwords rules for any website vendor they approve. At this point we will probably stick with CDK. At least CDK is familiar with all the hoops they have to jump through.

Love the memes ^^. This shows how much that program was overdue. I can see how and why OEMs are looking to force dealerships to work with a select vendor/vendor list.

It's mainly for control purposes, of course, it kills any bad ideas dealers could make but it also hurts the top tier of dealerships looking to be ahead of the curve. It's a tough call.

I'm glad GM is opening up, I hope the new vendors are going to be welcomed through the network.
