Savings from obsolete DMS hardware and software for a five-franchise dealership.
Automotive Dealership Expense & Vendor Consulting
Stop Letting Vendors Eat Your Profit.
Your dealership works too hard for its gross to lose it through overpriced contracts, unnecessary software, billing errors, duplicate services and expenses nobody questions anymore.
All Relative finds the waste, negotiates the vendors and helps you keep more of the profit you already earn.
You Don't Always Need To Sell More Cars To Make More Money.
Sometimes you just need to stop giving so much of it away. Every month, money leaves your dealership through hundreds of invoices, subscriptions, contracts, software products and vendor relationships. Most get approved because they have always been approved. We question them.
Real Savings. Not Consulting Theory.
Network services savings for a three-franchise dealership.
Savings from obsolete software identified through line-by-line analysis.
A competitive price does not matter if you should not be buying the product.
We Know Where You Should Be.
More than 20 years of dealership, vendor and operating experience gives us a clearer view of what your dealership should be paying, what deserves to be challenged and where better terms may be available. Let us help you get there.
Find My Profit LeaksWe Don't Stop At The DMS.
Your DMS is a major expense. It is not your only expense. We look across the dealership to identify unnecessary costs, overlapping products, weak contracts, billing errors and services that no longer deliver enough value.
Paying For The Technology Is Not The Same As Using It.
All Relative helps dealerships turn existing F&I and service technology into more efficient, productive workflows. From digital contracting and paperless F&I to electronic repair orders, we help teams remove manual steps, improve adoption and make paid-for technology earn its place.
Improve My WorkflowA Good Price On Something You Don't Need Is Still Wasted Money.
Benchmarking is important. But knowing whether your dealership is paying a competitive price is only half the job. Our automotive DMS consultants review the products, usage and charges behind the bill before a negotiation begins.
What are you paying for?
What are you actually using?
What has become obsolete?
What functionality overlaps?
What can be eliminated?
What should it cost?
What should be renegotiated?
Price Tells You Whether You're Paying Too Much. Usage Tells You Whether You Should Be Paying At All.
All Relative combines dealership market intelligence and pricing benchmarks with line-by-line product analysis to attack both sides of technology expense: price and necessity.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a dealership expense audit review?
A dealership expense audit looks at recurring vendor invoices, contracts, products, software, services, and the operating need behind each cost. The work connects what the agreement says, what the dealership is billed, and what the team actually uses. That can reveal billing discrepancies, duplicate functionality, obsolete products, excess quantities, and terms that deserve a closer look.
Do we need to replace our vendors to find savings?
No. Many productive reviews lead to a corrected invoice, a smaller quantity, a removed unused service, or a better contract term while the vendor relationship continues. The point is not to replace a provider for the sake of change. It is to give leadership a clear basis for keeping, correcting, reducing, or renegotiating a service.
Can All Relative help before a vendor renewal?
Yes. A renewal is one of the best times to review an agreement because it creates a real decision window. Before the notice deadline, the dealership can compare current invoices with the agreement, confirm service use with the people closest to the work, and decide whether the price, scope, quantity, or terms should change.
What makes a dealership software audit different from price benchmarking?
Benchmarking can show whether a price is competitive. A software audit asks whether the dealership should still be paying for the product at all. Both questions matter. A lower price does not solve an unnecessary expense, and a useful product still deserves terms and pricing that fit the dealership’s needs.
Do you work with dealer groups?
Yes. Dealer groups often benefit from looking across rooftops because similar services can have different quantities, pricing, terms, or account structures. Some differences are justified. The review helps leadership see which differences are intentional, which need an explanation, and where a group-wide view can improve the next decision.
How do you protect dealership operations while reviewing costs?
A cost review starts with the service and the people who depend on it, not with an arbitrary savings target. Essential tools, support, and capacity should stay in place when their value is clear. Any proposed change should make sense for the dealership’s workflow, customer experience, and risk tolerance before it is pursued.
