Small Business IT Management For
Auto Dealerships & Repair Shops
Synaxa keeps your bays turning, phones ringing, and deals closing without IT drama.
Your Most Common Headaches
You don’t need a giant IT department to run a tight operation. You need a partner who understands DMS quirks, parts-counter printers, service drive tablets, and the FTC Safeguards Rule
- DMS Issues. Slowness and login loops in your dealer management system.
- Service Tablet Issues.Tablets drop off the network mid-walkaround or during MPI photos.
- Phone System Glitches. Missed service calls, no call recording, and broken queues.
- Printing Issues. Printers and labelers jamming on RO forms and barcode labels.
- Security Gaps. Shared logins, no MFA, aging PCs, and a quickly growing risk of compromise or ransomware.
- Backups & Continuity. Limited or no backups, untested failovers, and no plan if a big vendor goes down.
Synaxa helps by owning the whole problem so issues are resolved fast and for good. Whether it’s hardware or software, physical or virtual, we’ve got you covered.
