Pros

“From estimating to sending customers invoices- it makes everything such a breeze.”

Casey E.

Owner

“I love that this was designed by a shop owner.”

Christopher P.

Consultant

“Fairly easy to use.”

Christopher P.

Consultant

Pros

“The organized layout and detailed diagrams make it easier to understand complex systems, and having factory‑approved procedures all in one place helps repairs go more smoothly”

Mike A.

Manager

“We signed a contract with alldata for a year to be paid at a set amount monthly on a friday and was charged that amount on that day.”

Justin G.

Fleet maintenance supervisor

“I enjoy it a lot even though it is expensive i would say the Oem data benefits it since it provides a lot of information on analytics for compatability and monitor performance and it's coverage .”

Ivan A.

Automotive shop technician

Cons

“I can’t get my own card processor to integrate because Shop-ware won’t let them.”

Christopher P.

Consultant

“Not being able to change customer name on a repair order once its open is inconvenient”

Josh W.

Advisor

“This is even an issue with parts we use daily for estimate building.”

Austin S.

service manager

Cons

“On top of that, their promised 1–2 hour response time for information requests routinely takes incredibly long, causing massive delays to my daily work.”

Eugene W.

Mechanic

“However, the most shocking part is their billing practices. When I requested to cancel my subscription because the software does not perform as advertised, they refused.”

Eugene W.

Mechanic

“Sometimes it takes too many clicks to find a specific part location, and the subscription cost is quite high for smaller shops.”
