good software for auto repair shop

this is good software for your shop if you need something for invoicing and bookings. it has service history and some vehicle info, but not as complete here as other softwares, but at the price that's acceptable to me. there is a cool auto-service creator using vin and mileage, we really like that.

Pros

QUIK Service feature is super Converting estimates and repair orders to invoices with one click is so time saving Good value for money

Cons

Can't sync with outlook calendar

Software Blues

I had great experiences and not so great experiences with this software. We have all of our clients stored in the system and it will not benefit us to lose that if we decided to Use another software

Pros

-Love this program. It is easy for all of our employees to use with ease and that is the main reason we continue to use it. -It has improved since we first started to use it -It allows you store all clients information

Cons

-I would like to make the companies invoices a little more personal -I’ve had a problem with a discrepancy with the software not being consistent in a penny off for the parts total and Grand total. Was told not to use chrome, whether using chrome or not, we have many invoices throughout the month with a penny difference in the two totals. -It takes forever for someone to get back to you when you are experiencing a problem with the software

Auto Repair Bill has and overall good infrastructure yet too many glitches that are never fixed

The software worked well in the early stages of our business however we quickly got tired of all the bugs and outgrew it as our business expanded and we needed a more professional shop management software

Pros

I used Auto Repair Bill because it was affordable and relatively easy to use. I liked that it linked PayPal for letting clients send payments. Overall the format is good. I like that it sent payment reminders.

Cons

That it was too hard to download your client database, that they said they integrated with Quickbooks, but it never worked and when you reported a problem with the software, they just emailed you back saying "We're working on it", but nothing ever got fixed. Many glitches and bugs.

generally well rounded auto shop software

we like this in our shop, there are 6 of us here and we can all use the app at the same time, on our mobiles for clocking in and out, and we can work on our individual jobs and our rep looks after the invoices and bookings, keeping us up to date in the shop or on call outs. they just added a feature to digitally sign off a REpair Order with the mobile app, save printing and paper costs and we can still keep the signed ROs on the cloud app, this is actually very cool the way it's done!

Pros

new mobile app features to upload RO photos and sign off fast data entry ,converting RO to invoice with one click email reminders to clients good bookings system

Cons

some occasionnal bugs but customer support are great to help out

Good value, good support, sometimes bugs in system

We like this, it is easy to use, has some neat unique features for saving time. It's different to other software, and there are new functions added all the time.

Pros

We asked for a change in how mileage was recorded and it was done the next day

Cons

Some bugs should not be there when the upgrades are made, but they do correct any issues quickly after, testing should be more solid, but is worth for new features
