Hey everyone, first time poster but I love this forum. I've learned a lot over the last couple weeks.
I have 8 years exp as a GM parts advisor on tech counter. I've been out of the Industry for about 4 years and I just accepted an offer for Parts Manager at a small Nissan Dealership here in North Carolina using Dealertrac. And unfortunately I have very little knowledge of Dealertrac. I start in a week on Monday the 17th

Could y'all offer any advice for a newbie on Nissan and Dealertrac? Orders, best reports to use and anything else I should focus on from the get go.

Thanks for any info y'all could offer

First of all...congratulations! I have very little experience with Dealertrac and that was a few years ago. I would recommend contacting their dealer support group and inquire on any training programs they may offer. Good luck in your new position.

Oh crap!!! Y'all really got me nervous as hell now. I see a $h!t ton of early early mornings and long late nights ahead of me. I guess the only thing I have going for me is my drive and determination. Parts Manager at a dealership is what I've wanted since my first year working in parts. So one way or the other I'm going to make it happen. Luckily I found this forum and I know y'all are a great group of guys and gals and will help however you can.

Oh And 85% of my experience is with ADP
