Pros

“The customer portal is a huge advantage because customers can approve estimates online, view invoices, check repair status, and keep track of service history without constant back and forth communication.”

Tyler S.

Automotive Technician

“Some things that I would like to note are the limited invoice template options (enabling qr code for custom invoices, editing certain fields, like moving phone number below email for the default template, etc.)”

Albaraa A.

Owner

“It’s an all in one app, I can have my inventory, invoices, reports, and the added labor guides is a huge bonus, and LOVE the live links for customers so I don’t have to send them multiple times if they want to change something, love have I can enter the vin and the vehicle information come up. ”

Chester H.

Owner

Pros

“The Mitchell Repair program is user friendly and provides the training portal which comes in very handy”

Connie R.

Administrator

“I wish they would integrate Autoleap's texting and pictures into their write up and accounting system. ”

Doug S.

Owner

“Its easy to use, but LACKS INFORMATION about repair on 99% of the jobs ive done and used it for them.”

Val D.

owner/tech

Cons

“Also from time to time, it will glitch and not allow you to add appointments to personal calendar so you will have to log off and log back in for it to be fixed.”

Sandra G.

President

“I encounter formatting glitches and data field errors when attempting to use either the built-in ARI "custom" templates or my own custom-designed versions.”

Dustin E.

Owner Technician

“It can feel like every time you go back in, the numbers shift around, which makes it a little frustrating when you’re trying to keep estimates consistent and accurate.”

chris n.

Cons

“Integrations are a joke at best”

Caleb F.

Owner

“The fact that they wont break a contract when they have the owner of the business telling them that they dont have enough training to fix all the information that is missing from this software.”

Val D.

owner/tech

“This software is a joke. When i communicate my frustration with their lacking software, I am told I need more training.”
