The best out there, period.

I've had a few issues with my software since subscribing but support has gone above and beyond for me in helping solve them, emailing me in the middle of the night and on Sundays. That level of support is something you'd expect out of a $250/month software.

PROS

ARI is very reasonably priced for the amount of features. I don't know how I managed my business without it. It's perfectly simple and not overburdened with useless features for smaller shops. No hidden or extra fees is the best part.

CONS

3 months ago I would have had a few things that I disliked about the software but with their latest update everything I wanted and more has been added. Sometimes I stumble on weird, very minor glitches but I believe it's due to me using an iPhone as none of these exist on my tablets.

Reason for choosing ARI

The price and the fact that ARI had so many included features and functions that weren't either only available on the highest plan or cost a lot extra. ARI seemed simple and was cost effective.

Reasons for switching to ARI

I needed a software better aimed at auto repair while also not breaking the bank (quickbooks $10/mth)

Unhappy customer

Not happy, we’ve been complaining about slow software and highly glitchy that has been causing us major errors. We already submitted about 15 complaints. And the last one was multiple invoices are being created under the same number which will cause us so much trouble with our accounting. We hope those issues get taken in consideration or unfortunately we’ll have to look for different software.

PROS

Very difficult to operate. Only pros that it doesn’t automatically delete information entered

CONS

Unlimited Glitches, software is slow. Freezes most of the time.

Reason for choosing ARI

Still debating if it was the right decisions

Vendor Response

Hello Mida Thanks for your feedback. We are constantly working on improving the software. We believe the last update (V10) came with some great speed improvements. As for the Invoice numbers, we believe this may be related to multiple users inputing info at the same time. We continue to monitor for such issues!

I love this app

I've been using this product for months now and I like the way that it keeps everything organized for you it automatically makes tables with payments,it automatically notifies customers when jobs are completed, and it keeps track of assets for your business.

PROS

I like that it keeps everything organized and I can do anything I need right from the home screen. The best thing is the service reminders because they help me make more money!

CONS

The initial setup is a little tedious and confusing but once you get used to it it's easy.

The fonts size below the icons are too small to read. The icons used can be better and more relevant and they should all be same branding color.

Lifesaver

Ecstatic!! Within 24 hours I had the PC version and 3 phones hooked up with the apps. We purchased monthly access with 10 minutes of the first tech having his phone app open to a work order in progress.

PROS

30 day trial is way too generous! Within the first invoice you already know you need this program. Simply click a few buttons to see what other tools you have.

CONS

I love everything, so many options, you're excited to discover things at every stage. If I could have one thing available, I'd ask for pre-safety inspection sheets.

Reasons for switching to ARI

Beyond frustrated trying to figure out other program, blocked without purchasing, had to choose which sections I wanted to have access to, limited trial time, and more than double the price.

Diamond in the R

At first I thought it was a waste of time and deleted the app (tried the app first), then I came back to it after a couple months, and used it sparringly, but now we use it much more. The features have grown, and continue to grow. I think this software is going to be among some of the big name ones, so jump on board now and help make it grow to one of the great ones.

PROS

I gave this software a chance 3 different times, and I'm honestly glad that I did. The features have grown exponentially in the last year. They offer so much more than just invoicing and work order management. The marketing, financing, obd2 scanner, it's all great.

CONS

Could be more customizable all around, or more user friendly. I wish the customer and vehicle would sync a little more easier than they do now.

Reasons for switching to ARI

We were sick of using multiple softwares for everything we needed. Price was also a major reason we switched to Ari, the price is unbeatable.

Vendor Response

Thank you very much for your support over the years! We will continue to improve upon our customers' feedback while keeping the same price!

Love using ARI have since the beginning of the app

Very positive I have loved using it.

PROS

The mobility of the invoicing program. When I started my buisness it was mobile so the ability to write estimates on the go was a must.

CONS

Sometimes it's very slow to respond. Also the fact that I always need service to open estimates/repair orders.

Reason for choosing ARI

Great product

My overall experience with Ari has been pretty good thus far I will strongly recommend it to anyone who has a small repair shop and getting things off the ground it has been a great tool in my arsenal to be able to communicate with my customer's effectively and professionally

PROS

The things I like most about this product is how you can customize each estimate to supply your needs of Auto auto body or diesel repair I also like the fact that you can keep your customers updated via text message or email as well as send them pictures and allow them to be able to follow along with the repair process through the job card and updates I also like the fact that the VIN decoder pretty much breaks everything down for you as far as the vehicle information

CONS

One thing that I would like for it to have is labor rates and times for repairs and also a little bit of repair information for different procedures for jobs

Reason for choosing ARI

Because I could use it on my mobile device and it was in my budget range

J and M Auto

Overall, the program is great! It has a few areas I'd change, but that's not that much compared to the rest if the program itself. It's very easy to use and easy to learn. I have recommended this program to others already.

PROS

There's a lot that I love about the program. The value is great, it's very easy to learn and to use on most areas, and it's very easy for customers to view their invoices and pay them online.

CONS

The online booking for appointments is not the best. The job cards are a bit difficult to understand and work, causing us to use invoices and estimates only. If we SMS a customer on the system itself then we cannot retrieve messages back from them unless the message our personal numbers.

Great software for the price.

Great experience, hoping to soon integrate CAR FAX so i can start reporting to them. I truly love this product, has saved me a ton of time.

PROS

The ease of use of this software to make a RO, estimate, and invoice is great. The appointment set up and website is also great and my customers love it. I also like all the integration features as well as electronic invoicing and estimates that can be approved by customer through their phones. It is a great management program for the price.

CONS

The only thing I feel should be added is for the technician to be able to add to the 3 Cs "CAUSE and CORRECTION". I have to manually edit the RO in order to add the tech notes from the notes into the Cause and then the Correction. Would be nice for the technician to be able to type this in on his own rather than me making the adjustments.

Reason for choosing ARI

Price to feature comparison was better.

You don’t know what you’re missing!!!

My monthly taxes to the state, my customer counts, my monthly income before and after expenses, etc.

PROS

This entire program is fantastic. All of the added features are always surprising and welcoming. Whoever put this together either has shop experience or consulted with someone with great shop experience. It’s simple accurate and easy to use. I wouldn’t run my shop without it. I’m going into my third year with it.

CONS

I don’t like how you have to go back and change the outgoing mileage to a higher number. What I mean is the outgoing mileage comes up as the previous mileage from the vehicles earlier visit.

The best Automotive Repair software for the money

The software has made several fantastic improvements over the past few years. When you compare the features and ease of use and low monthly price you simply can't find a more comprehensive program. Other automotive shop management programs are well over $100b more per month.

PROS

Easy to learn a lot of features that are all included at no extra cost. I've tried them all and for the money this is the best software available .

CONS

In the past it was missing a labor guide. Although the recent update included options to use Mitchell labor guide a great addition to the software

Business problem solved is closing invoices digitally. Paper and pen was how I did it before. Double the work.

Mobility was the decision maker. With hotspot work orders and time tracking is important. With inventory, parts can be added. This is a powerful app. but I am not using all the features to its potential.

CONS

The least I like about this app. is certain times it locks up or long delays. I close and open the app to solve this problem. If it wasn't saved, you will have to input again.
