What Dealership Leaders Say

Valerie Tackett

“Being able to manage multiple locations and departments in one system has been a game-changer. For the auto industry specifically, handling different pay structures — like flat-rate technicians, hourly employees, and commissioned staff — is so much easier and far more accurate now. My biggest advice is don’t underestimate the value of a system that truly fits the automotive industry. Netchex understands the complexities of dealerships — multiple rooftops, service departments, technicians, commissions, flat-rate pay, and constant onboarding.”

“Netchex is really geared toward auto dealerships and they know what we’re doing. It’s nice to be able to pull flag times and even clock someone in when they’re at another location or sister store — they don’t have to come into the office. I can make it so employees can clock in and out wherever they are.”
