From shop management software to FTC Safeguards compliance, Axio Networks provides the IT support that keeps Scottsdale auto service businesses operating efficiently and securely.
Dealerships, independent repair shops, collision centers and fleet service operations in Scottsdale depend on dealer-management and shop-management systems, diagnostic tools, parts catalogs, payment processing and manufacturer portals. Dealers face the FTC Safeguards Rule as financial institutions; every shop faces PCI, customer-data liability and a bay full of technicians waiting when systems fail.
Axio Networks provides managed IT and cybersecurity for automotive businesses — reliable shop networks and Wi-Fi, DMS and shop-software support, Safeguards and PCI compliance and fast response so vehicles keep moving through the bays.
Managed IT for dealer management systems, service management platforms, and parts lookup tools your team relies on.
Protect customer contact information, vehicle records, and payment data with proper access controls and encryption.
Redundant internet connections so service advisors, technicians, and parts staff always have the access they need.
The written information security program, risk assessment, MFA, encryption and vendor oversight the FTC requires of dealerships that arrange financing.
Reliable Wi-Fi across service bays and lots for diagnostic tablets, scan tools and technicians, with secure segmentation for customer and vehicle systems.
PCI-compliant payment environments and protection for customer records, driver’s license scans and financing documents.
Automotive dealerships became subject to the FTC Safeguards Rule in June 2023, bringing significant new compliance obligations around customer financial data — including F&I records, credit applications, and financing agreements. Dealerships must now designate a qualified security coordinator, conduct annual risk assessments, implement multi-factor authentication, encrypt customer data at rest and in transit, and maintain an incident response plan. Beyond compliance, dealership operations depend on continuous availability of Dealer Management Systems (DMS), OEM manufacturer portals, parts ordering systems, and service scheduling platforms. DMS downtime directly halts vehicle sales, service write-ups, and parts fulfillment. Axio Networks works with franchised dealerships, independent dealers, and multi-rooftop groups throughout Scottsdale and Phoenix to meet FTC requirements and keep operations running.
What we handle for automotive dealership clients:
