Pros and cons

We love this, our customers love this, our techs love this. We are able to keep in touch with our customers, no guessing for them about the status our their vehicle.
Overall support and application is excellent. Monthly fees are very good.
The ease of use and customer service is great. I use in an educational setting and the students find it very easy to use.
The only downside I had was that it wasn't integrated into my shop management/billing program.
Sometimes miss notifications and lots of steps to change settings.
Some features that were more difficult have been sorted out through various updates.

Apple Clean Software

Reviewed 2 months ago

Great. People, software and support are all great.

Pros

Clean and intuitive. Very Apple/Tesla clean. Great feel to the software and back end. Makes AutoVitals look like child’s play.

Cons

Really no CONS. As a client you always want more features but they always try to accommodate.

Almost perfect

Reviewed 2 months ago

We are currently dealing with some connectivity issues between our devices and Autoflow’s server regardless of our network/cell tower speeds, but other than this new issue, we have had a generally great experience.

Pros

Autoflow’s DVI functionality is very streamlined. Its take next to no time get our new technicians acclimated with the system. Our customers love having a digital inspection that they can review at any time after their current work is completed as well.

Cons

The current state of DVIs does not include the ability for the customer to approve or deny work needed on the vehicle without having to contact the salerep and approve/deny vocally over the phone. We wish there was the ability to do this without having to reconnect with the customer when theyre no longer on site. This would save a lot of time.

Inspection King

Reviewed a year ago

Has been awesome, love being able to set the inspections up how we want with the wording and recommendations we want. Adding the predefined lines saves my staff times and increases production!

Pros

The repeatability is top tier, allows the staff to have very consistent inspections regardless of who’s doing it.

Cons

The reason vehicle here does not transfer between this system and tekmetric

Great product, would be a standalone shop management suite with a few additions.

Reviewed a year ago

When it was first released we were early adopters so we’ve seen it grow and blossom into a wonderful product.

Pros

It is easy to get up and running, integrates well with shop management software, has great inspection customization options.

Cons

We use tel metric and auto flow. Would be great if one or the other had all the bells and whistles so that we could just use one for it all. But it is a lot to ask.

Great Product

Reviewed a year ago

The support and product is great. We had tried a different DVI system and it wasn't as friendly to use or a support staff that went above and beyond to help work through issues.

Pros

The communication between the technician and the counter is great. We get notifications when the DVI is submitted which allows us to quickly write the repair order and send it to the client. Then we get notifications when the client has opened up the DVI which triggers us to give the client a call if they haven't already called.

Cons

What I like least is the fact that DVIs are locked down after so many uses. Doesn't matter how many times I ask for input as soon as I update our DVI, people find things that they want to be changed, and if it is after the

Transparency in automotive service

Reviewed a year ago

we use the digital inspections to provide transparency to our clients. It has also allowed us to provide a very consistent level of service; it is predictable for our clients. we also capture photos of the body of the vehicle to catalog any pre-existing damages.

Pros

The digital inspections, two way text communication, customer support

Cons

I mostly appreciate Autoflow, some of the set up was cumbersome, however, we were learning the system. Some features that were more difficult have been sorted out through various updates.

Vendor response

Mike ~ Thank you for the review. We're glad to hear how well our DVI is working for you and are grateful to gain you as our customer. We place a strong focus on continually striving to make the tool better and easier to use.

Autoflow Shop Management System

We love Autoflow!

Pros

It's difficult to pick the thing I like most because there are so many critical and highly important functions that it serves for our shop workflow as well as storage of historical data. It is vital to the success of our shop.

Cons

I am not aware of any features that would enhance the experience we have with Autoflow.

The Bees Knees

Reviewed a year ago

I have had [sensitive content hidden] to my location a couple of times for training, I try to attend all the video calls, I love this company and I am so grateful we get to experience this awesome change for the Auto Industry.

Pros

I love the customer support, the training, and I love that the platform is customizable. The platform is very easy to use, I get to customize each and every line item in my digital vehicle inspection. This platform is seemless with tekmetric, and several other software platforms. I love the texting options as well as the automatic messages informing the customer throughout the process. Plus [sensitive content hidden] is the Bees Knees!

Cons

It took a lot of playing around for adding options to the DVI, adding recommendations, and setting up the DVI. With all the training that is done, would it be possible to share some How To Videos?

Vendor response

Thank you for your feedback on our customer support and training, which we put great emphasis on and take pride in! Glad to hear how customizable our tool is for you and its seamlessness with Tekmetric. Thank you for choosing us!

Autoflow

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

Autoflow makes the process of managing RO easy. From the beginning of assigning the DVI to a technician to complete an inspection. It’s also an easy process to assign jobs or rearrange them when you need to. Auto fill also makes it easy to communicate and keep your customers updated with the status of each step. Auto fluids, easy to use with new employees getting them trained on how to use the DVI incorrectly, inspect vehicles when they brought in.

Cons

None at this time. I can’t think of any features that are negative integrates well with our system makes it easy to use.

Service Advisor's Hero!

Reviewed a year ago

Autoflow has helped increase revenue and customer satisfaction because it makes communication so much easier . The text feature helps with contacting guests for updates especially those hard to reach customers. The inspection with the pictures and motovisuals helps build trust and helps upsell needed work.

Pros

Autoflow makes scheduling, coordinating work, and customer contact so easy. Between the workflow management features, the real time process updates, the customizable inspection templets , and all of the other user friendly features really help make the days a breeze.

Cons

When new updates are relaease there is a lag between Tekmetric and Autoflow.

Great for more than just DVI

Reviewed 2 years ago

I used this for a recon shop, with little to no outside customers. But what made it perfect for me was the ability to share my dashboard with my sales department. They could track what new inventory was coming and when it would be ready. I also used the DVI to help the sales team sell the vehicle by showing the customer what was inspected, what was repaired, etc.

Pros

The ability to make tabs for all the steps in the process

Cons

The only downside I had was that it wasn't integrated into my shop management/billing program

Really good resource for our automotive shop!

Reviewed 2 years ago
Pros

My favorite function is being able to send customers real time updates with the click of a button via text message. I also really like the ability to upload pictures and videos to each recommended item.

Cons

I have not utilized the Work Order section of Autoflow because I feel it does not integrate well with our main DMS, TekMetric. Admittedly, I have not spent much time working through it because it is not our primary method, but I've been satisfied enough with the DVI portion, which is the main feature we utilize.

Cons

Inyergration was not difficult. Our POS,and autotextme worked great together,and gave us plently of traing,and support. If a blank DVI could be implemented would be great,so we can track lost opoourtunities.

You've changed the way we communicate to meet the demands of today! Thank you autotext.me!

Reviewed 8 years ago

We started using autotext.me about a year ago and it has literally changed the way we communicate with our customers. We've been in business for 27 years and as technology changes, we must change with it. The methods we used in the past to communicate with our customers are no longer the most efficient or most desirable methods today. With autotext.met we no longer need to wait on hold, leave voice mail messages, or play phone tag. Our customers know the status of their vehicle at all times. From start to finish, autotext.me enables us to communicate with our customers in real time and they have the ability to communicate back. We researched other similar software companies and we couldn't be more pleased with our decision to use autotext.me. From their software to support, autotext.me offers the best communication platform, a great value, and provides outstanding customer service. We made the best decision when we partnered with autotext.me

Pros

Ease of use, customer satisfaction, customer service, and the overall value.
