ARI vs Mitchell RepairCenter Comparison

This is a great alternative to other options. It does everything that Mitchell did for shop management

As of right now there's no way to add a set (shop supplies/hazmat) fee on new invoices.. Other software has this where is auto generated to a new order

The ability to message the support is very conveinent. easy to use. navigate is simple. sometimes you have a hard time finding where something will be but it is there.

I dont like mitchell, id like to see a generic labor time.

Please write us at contact@ari.app We have a better Labor Guides option right now!

Ease of use, Mitchell integration, inspections inventory and more included. Way more features to discover yet

None so far, everything seems to be ok with the software

Ari customer portal. And the oarts tech integration

A little cumbersome for getting new users onboarded

The most I like about ARI is my own profile setup and vendor selection.

The least I like about ARI is trying to get Mitchell to work.

ARI makes it very easy and handy as a mobile mechanic to make estimates and invoices on the fly! I love it for my business and it makes life a lot easier knowing I have everything I need at my fingertips.

I would like if there was built in labor times or if there was a partnership to access labor times without Mitchell.

Hello Please write us to contact@ari.app We have a better Labor Guides and Times offer at the moment!

Pricing is great..Easy to use scheduler. Seems to keep improving often

Little more difficult to use than other shop programs..Could possibly use training videos. Would be nice to have Labor guide without needing mitchell

Hello Thanks for your feedback! Please write to us at contact@ari.app so we can discuss Labor Guides! We have an option that does not require a Mitchell account!

Has pretty much everything the big software products have at an exponentially lower price. Easy to use and configure. Dev team is fast and responsive.

Overall UI could use updating. Appointments page only comes with red accent colour -- if your brand colours don't include red it looks pretty off-brand.

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 .

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

I used a free trial on My phone, My boss ended up purchasing the package but I didn't use the account. everything was available on the free trial mostly . I do believe you still need to get Mitchell which is an extra charge I think thru Mitchell. I like the detail In the parts estimates . Maybe How to used the paid version Maybe there would have been more of a layout for the hours completed for body work Like hazardous waste tape masking etc. Overall I was pretty satisfied with the app I printed it out and the pictures came out great everything that I had on there was able to be printed I was very satisfied

The work for body labor like including to charge for Premask tape Hazardous waste etc.

Very easy to navigate and get the hang of using it. Customer service is A1 with quick response time. ARI is a very affordable and helpful software. No large up front cost or contracts. Great for simple DIYers but still in depth enough to help repair shops keep track of the repairs and customers. Great Software for any leval mechanic or business. Unbeatable customer service. Always improving the platform and looking for better advancement while keeping the cost down and quality up.

The only thing I did not like was it did not have labor times and wiring diagrams like alldata. Mitchell, or identafidentified. But a message to them about this and my response from them was, that they are in the works of adding it and they were very thankful for my input.
