Pros

“I like the Technical Information that includes even specific data like fluids conditions and quantity, tires/wheels types and sizes for most of vehicles.”
CL

Christine L.

Owner

“My the most favorite feature in this app is Auto Parts & Inventory, where I can see the detailed information about parts purchase/sell in my shop.”
SJ

Sergio J.

Shop Manager and Lead Estimator

“I like the detailed list of customers and their vehicles, the ability to automatically add vehicle data by search with License plate.”
RR

Roy R.

Owner

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.”
TS

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.)”
AA

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. ”
CH

Chester H.

Owner

Cons

“Appointments scheduling form on the shop website does not allow clients to request an appointment for an exact worker.”
BL

Bob L.

Owner

“Quotes are not complete enough: impossible restore from Recovery, not available revert of Repair Order to Quote.”
MP

Melody P.

Owner

“The Сustom Reports feature seems incomplete to me: some important data fields cannot be added.”
BF

Boca F.

Owner

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.”
SG

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.”
DE

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.”
