Auto/Mate DMS review
A cloud DMS that brings dealership accounting and operating workflows together.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Auto/Mate DMS combines dealership accounting with sales and F&I, vehicle merchandising, service and parts workflows. It is aimed at automotive retailers, from single-store dealerships to larger groups, with particular relevance for multi-dealership operators that want intercompany accounting alongside day-to-day dealership operations. The web-based system is cloud deployed and includes mobile-friendly functionality. Its accounting scope includes general ledger, accounts payable, accounts receivable, cash receipts and reporting.
Accounting is connected to operational work rather than limited to bookkeeping. Cash receipts can be tracked for sales, service and parts, while customizable reports cover inventory, G/L, profit, expenses and floor plans. Intercompany accounting addresses activity across multiple dealerships. The broader DMS also includes service repair-order and technician work-in-progress tools, parts inventory, sales and ordering, plus sales and F&I deal creation, structuring and billing. That breadth suits groups seeking a shared operational system; a buyer looking only for accounting software may find the wider dealership scope unnecessary.
Auto/Mate connects through an Open API, certified OEM integrations, CRM systems, inventory tools and third-party applications. Role-based permissions, audit trails and secure access are included. Support is available by phone and documentation, with 24/7 support. Pricing is quote-based, so buyers need to contact sales for a quote rather than compare published plan amounts. Auto/Mate is a fit to consider when accounting needs span departments and rooftops, and when OEM or other system connections matter. A dealership seeking a standalone accounting tool or a self-service published price may prefer a narrower alternative.
