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

We enjoy using the Auto Repair Bill Software, easy to Navigate.

I do not have a limit on the many invoices I create daily. I can store customers information and have a detail history of the work done on our customers vehicles. I can email a customer their receipt.

Pros

It is very simple to use when navigating through the software. The invoices are simple for me as a mechanic and for my customers. The software is extremely affordable

Cons

When there is an update it takes them a few tries to iron out the kinks. I would like to personalize my own invoices wotouh having to email the administrator of the software.

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

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

overall good software for running auto shop

Switched to this about a year ago, had a few problems at first but support were quick to fix. Been a lot of features added too since i signed up, the new sales reporting is really cool

Pros

Useful sales reports
Easy invoices with autocomplete
RO Timelogs
Frequent adding of new features
Value for money!!

Cons

None

Lots of features and value for money

I was looking for something to email customers invoices with, and came across Auto Repair Bill, which does this and so much more! Real handy time logs on repair orders, service histories from CARFAX. No phone support but email response is fast.

Pros

Easy to use and value for money

Cons

Can only enter one labor line?

perfect for our shop

Simple to use, fast invoice creation, customer records and a handy client dashboard making it easy have all client data on one screen. carfax service histories are a nice bonus at this price range

Pros

Easy use
Service histories
Detailed customer records and payment logging
Helpful and fast response for customer support
Email reminders for servicing for clients

Cons

none

Lots of features for little money

I found that the software easy to use. I entered some open / unpaid invoices from my previous software. I have customers that make payments on larger repairs. Using this software, I can see the outstanding invoice. Clicking on the customer name revieles total and balance due. Making payments are simple, and available in several places, within the software. I can take a payment and see the balance due. I can then pint a statement for the customer showing total due and all payments made.(I could not do this with my previous program).I know a lot of software can do these things , but not for this price. The software does lack in some areas. The company seems to be eager to improve and add features. For example my old software had a pricing matrix. I can see reading AutoRepairBill blog that this feature is coming as well as many others.

Easy to use Auto Repair software.

Don't take my comments about support as a reason to not purchase. They were launching about 15 different locations, so they were very busy.

Pros

What I like best from this software is it's ability to go from estimate to final bill with the ease of just a key stroke.

Cons

I had a problem with support. They were difficult to get a hold of and when you did you were put on hold and had long waits.

No Support With this Program/ You on your own

LOUSY

Pros

Professional looking is about all. can be easy if you got support.

Cons

I get no support. Only support is via e-mail which can take up to 3 days for a response. No phone number provided, cannot change billing features they prefer to bill by the bundle which is expensive. try to upgrade and am not able to. THREE ATTEMPTS VIA E-MAIL OVER THE LAST WEEK WITH NO ANSWER.!!!!

Its a cheap way to organize repair orders but not very good for book keeping

I got the benefit to know that you get what you pay for. Absolutly useless product for any real shop

Pros

We tried this software when we first started our business and it was the closest thing to R.O. writer we could find for cheap. It works ok for small shaps

Cons

As far as tracking shop expenses i.e. cost per RO it was useless. The labor time set up is confusing and trying to build an estimate takes way too long and is almost impossible for a customer to understand

saves a lot of time, syncs with google contacts and calendar

this software is neat, i really like how it connects with my google contacts for new clients and updates calendar with new bookings, its super sweet! auto complete on nearly everything makes invoicing and RO;s super fast. only flaw i can find is that there is not integrated ordering for parts, other than the order by email feature, but it would be need to use hella or other parts suppliers directly

up and running in minutes, joy to use

this program simply works! getting paid by paypal and being able to email invoices has made it easier for some of my customers to pay me. several customers commented on the professional look of these invoices too. i tried two other programs for running my shop, and both were plagued with problems and less than helpful support. this is a bargain, you find anything like this for this price!

Large service - could be or not?

great product great customer service and training, just not for us at this time!
