If you are in the business of the retail sale of automobiles in the United States and purchased Dealer Management Services (“DMS”) from either The Reynolds and Reynolds Company (“Reynolds”) or CDK Global, LLC (“CDK”) from September 1, 2013 through August 15, 2024, you could be eligible to receive money from settlements totaling $129.5 million.

YOU DO NOT NEED A THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS SETTLEMENT SERVICE TO SUBMIT YOUR CLAIM.
FREE ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE FROM CLASS COUNSEL AND EPIQ.

The purpose of this website is to inform you of (1) your rights related to a proposed class action settlement with CDK (“CDK Settlement”) in the class action lawsuit, In re Dealer Management Systems Antitrust Litigation, MDL 2817, 18-cv-00864 (N.D. Ill.); (2) the proposed distribution of the funds from the 2019 settlement with Reynolds; and (3) the fee and expense application that will be filed by Dealership Class Counsel with respect to the CDK and Reynolds settlements. Your legal rights may be affected whether or not you act.

CDK has agreed to pay $100 million plus $250,000 for notice and administration costs to resolve claims involving an alleged conspiracy by CDK and Reynolds to charge unlawful prices in the markets for DMS Services and Data Integration Services. The full text of the CDK Settlement Agreement is available for review here. CDK denies any wrongdoing and the Court has not ruled that CDK did anything wrong or violated any law. A prior settlement with Reynolds in the amount of $29.5 million was previously approved by the Court. If you used either a Reynolds or CDK DMS during the Reynolds settlement class period (below) and did not exclude yourself from the Reynolds Settlement by January 2, 2019, you are a member of both settlement classes.

The claims submission process discussed in Frequently Asked Question 8 includes both the CDK and Reynolds Settlements. If the CDK Settlement is approved by the Court, the funds from both settlements will be distributed to those settlement class members who file timely and valid claims according to the Allocation Plan available here. There is one claim form for both settlements.
