FREE EVALUATION

WHO WE ARE

Something about us from a little bit of different perspective.


We are unique - no other company provides the kind of in-depth service we offer.  There are plenty of consultants with expertise in a particular area of car dealer's operation. The IDDS team brings a diverse and extensive background in all areas of a dealership.

Where most consultants fail is not looking at the whole picture. They peer into a half empty glass and blame the sales force or the executives. Do they consider how each department works together? How communication filters from top to bottom?

We evaluate every aspect of your dealership's operations in order to increase efficiency. IDDS Group conducts a comprehensive audit of every department, its policies and procedures and produces a report with recommendations and a blueprint to follow.  Following these recommendations will help increase sales, profits and reduce operating expenses.

IDDS Group brings a thorough and balanced perspective.  When you add in our direct knowledge of how a dealership runs, then we will make sure your business is not just successful, but has a detailed plan for continued and sustained growth.
