Lot Wizard Pro
Lot Wizard Pro is a daily asset for our business, keeping accurate financial records, inventory, sales and payment records and customer interaction notes. We are able to quickly review data and make adjustments necessary for used car sales. We use Lot Wizard for hours each day without glitches or problems! The software tech staff has remained a steady presence of support for our business questions or user errors! We appreciate the ability to work with the same talented staff over time!
Pros
Lot Wizard Pro is a comprehensive software that fits BUY HERE PAY HERE car lot organizations perfectly. The inventory feature, customer payment record keeping capabilites, sales records, reporting options make daily, quarterly and annual record keeping and analysis a breeze! This software is supported by excellent technology staff! They are highly knowledgable and responsive to customer needs!
Cons
Lot Wizard Pro staff has responded to every need Gateway Motors has had. They make frequent updates and upgrades that are often customer driven. I have experienced no issues with Lot Wizard Pro.
Reasons for Choosing Lot Wizard Pro
We chose Lot Wizard Pro for the comprehensive capabilities of the software to keep inventory, sales, payments and customer information in one system... and then have the capability to generate a variety of reports. Lot Wizard Pro allows us to analyze daily our business in an effective manner. WE LOVE THIS SOFTWARE!!
Reasons for Switching to Lot Wizard Pro
We weren't happy with the range of reports or professionalism of the looks of the reports. They looked like 1980's layouts and fonts. Our previous software was not as comprehensive as Lot Wizard Pro.

Used Vehicle Dealer using Lot Wizard Pro
I'm not using it to its full potential yet, but so far it works for my car lot.
Pros
When I call for anything there is only on prompt to press ( press 1 for this, 2 for that...). Almost and immediate answer most of the time after pressing a prompt. If I get the wrong prompt, the person who answers can usually handle the issue.
Cons
Not compatible with a northern state like Wisconsin. It gets cold here. When checking boxes for vehicle options (power windows, remote start, etc.), there is nothing to check for heated seats. There is also nothing to check for rear heated seats (yes, I have a car on the lot now with both front and rear heated seat). Having more option boxes to check would be helpful. Also, there are vehicles that have cold weather packages, which usually means you can plug it in to keep the battery warm. I brought it to their attention awhile ago, and still nothing to click on with heated seats to pre-populate that with my online feeds.

Needs a little work
Overall it’s okay for the money. Not impressed by any means but it works, albeit slowly.
Pros
What I liked most about this product was the low price.
Cons
I hate that the forms can’t easily be printed out on plain paper. Specifically LAW contracts. Also the software crashes constantly.

Great software for the automotive industry
Pros
I enjoy using Lot Wizard. It is very easy to navigate through and the availability of forms is helpful. I use Lot Wizard to structure all of my car deals and to maintain new and existing inventory. It is easy to find old deals, update vehicle or customer information, etc. The customer service team is easily accessible and has assisted me with any system glitches as well as customizing my Lot Wizard to work most efficiently for me.
Cons
I do not have any complaints. It would be convenient to be able to search a deal by stock number but that not really a problem since I can search by the year and model or the customer's name.

Great and easy
I learned alot of stuff. Like printing and downloading forms to print
Pros
Fast and no clitches , i have used the ild one before. The new one i much easier. It doesnt crash while using . And if it stops working you can just restarts the program.
Cons
Loading faster forms when printing . There is not alot of negative things aboit it other then when loading forms to print it does take a few seconds to load the form. I wish it is little faster to load them so the customer sit there in less time.

Thank you Lot Wizard!
I truly appreciate the integration with the website and the great customer service
Pros
Simple and quick to use right off the bat, to get us started immediately! Customer service has been such a blessing! I can either use an on line chat and OR call in. I always get a human to answer and they are VERY HELPFUL!
Cons
there are a lot of options that you see on the software but they are not available WITH purchase of software, they are "add ons" that are available services, but all at extra charge.

great bhph program
We are keeping track of buy here pay here customers.
Pros
Holds more information about your customer and is modernized.
Cons
I don't like that the writing is gray if you just want to bring a customers information up and read it. Its harder to read. You have to hit the remove completio button to see it clearly. Then complete the deal again and is time consuming.

Hi Donna. Thanks for your feedback. When you complete a deal, the font turns gray to indicate that the information is locked. We'll be happy to help you adjust your settings and make this data more visible if you'd like. Give us a call at 1-800-677-7160.

Great product. Second to none customer service.
Having a great product is imperative in today's business climate but what sets a company above all others is it's customer service and it's ability to follow thru on giving the customer what he/she needs to make their web site stand out. Highly recommend!

Great, easy to use software, and awesome customer service.
I have been using the Lot Wizard software for close to decade. The price is great for all you get, plus it's very easy for new employees to learn how to use it. Also their support staff is one of the best I have every encountered. I would definitely recommend Lot Wizard for any dealer looking for new software .
