Overview of the Settlement
This $129,500,000 class action lawsuit alleges that CDK Global, LLC and The Reynolds and Reynolds Company conspired to charge unlawful prices for Dealer Management System (DMS) services and Data Integration Services. This alleged price-fixing may have resulted in higher car prices for American consumers by limiting competition and restricting lower pricing options, violating various federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws.
Total Settlement Amount
The total settlement amount is $129.5 million, with CDK agreeing to pay $100 million plus $250,000 for notice and administration costs. Reynolds had previously agreed to pay $29.5 million as part of a 2019 settlement.

Potential Payment Amount
The exact payment amount is not yet determined and will depend on the number of valid claims filed, whether you are a member of the CDK Settlement Class, the Reynolds Settlement Class, or both, as well as the duration of your use of the Dealer Management System during the relevant settlement periods.
