Why It Matters

What Changes With CDK Drive Connected

CDK Drive is the system of record in a very large number of rooftops, which means the service history sitting in it is usually the richest customer data a store owns and the least used. Connecting it changes what your automations can key off: not "everyone who bought a car" but "everyone who declined a brake job in the last 90 days". Live RO status handles the immediate side: the vehicle-ready text, the status question answered without a phone call.

Straight Answers

Questions Worth Asking

Does Matador push appointments back into CDK Drive?
No. Service appointments, repair orders and RO status are read from CDK Drive. Matador does not write appointments back, so the DMS stays the single source of truth for the shop schedule.
How current is the RO data?
Repair orders are received as they are written and status updates as they change, which is what makes ready-for-pickup and declined-service messages possible while they still matter.
Can I build campaigns on past CDK service history?
Yes. Historical service data supports automations, so lapsed customers, declined work and mileage-based reminders can all be segmented from the history already in CDK Drive.
How long does it take to connect?
Most stores connect their stack in under an hour and are live within days. Our team handles the configuration: you need a kickoff call and credentials for the systems you want connected.
