Using state-of-the-art mobile technology, Service Advisors can greet customers at their vehicle, scan their VIN, and roll the appointment into an RO with a few simple taps on an iPad. No appointment…No problem. Just scan the VIN, enter the customers information and move on. Advanced DMS integration makes creating a new customer faster than ever before.

With access to customers and vehicle history, including any previously declined services, Service Advisors are equipped to provide the highest level of customer service. The new user interface is designed to feature a hub-and-spoke workflow vs. the traditional linear workflow. This allows the Advisor to navigate to wherever he needs to go within the application without taking time-consuming, needless steps. Faster, easier, and more profitable than anything ever seen in automotive fixed operations, CDK Service with Lane 3.0 takes Automobile Dealership Service Departments to the next level.
