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

“While this may be a Pro for upper management, the feature that it tracks all sorts of metrics, including the amount of time to front line ready, which is important metric and valuable tool, some dealerships spend more time trying to use work arounds to game the system to keep their Time to front line number low because the upper management scores their efficiency and holds them accountable for these numbers - - that I believe they could use this time more wisely to just actually work on the reconditioning then trying to move the cars around to keep the time low.”

Michael C.

Photographer

“I have been a user of Rapid Recon for over 10 years and having experienced different methods of inventory tracking , this is by far the best way to keep track of all the vehicles and making sure every step of the reconditioning process gets done in a timely manner.”

Michael C.

Photographer

“Rapid Recon allows our company to move our inventory between two separate locations, without missing a step.”

Ariel T.

HR Manager

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

“Unfortunately, it doesn't integrate with COX products”

stephen d.

General Sales Manager

“The ring I don’t like is the pricing I know it’s a good software but it’s expensive”

Heng T.

Lawyer

“I buy several cars per month for our dealership and on occasion have to Arbitrate something on the the vehicle purchased. When submitting an arbitration, I have to send photos and detailed repair/damage estimate for reimbursement and Rapid Recon makes this part of my functions very time consuming.”

Keith J.

Inventiry/Reconditioning Manager
