What users like the most

  • What I love most about ARI is how user-friendly and customizable it is. Whether I’m logging parts, tracking labor, or managing payments, everything is seamless. The integrated features, like digital inspections and customer reminders, help me provide top-notch service while keeping my clients informed.
  • It's easy and simple to use, essential for all workshop staff. The response rate to a question or a problem is speedy and effective. Signing up for the monthly subscription was right, as they constantly upgraded the features. They also take feedback seriously and try incorporating it where it makes sense.
  • The software is user friendly. Easy to navigate. The clock in feature and vin decoder are amazing but what I really love is the online payment option and the fact that a client can electronically sign estimates is great.

What users like the least

  • I wish I could link Identifix like you can prodemand I wish I could link payment options like zelle and venmo
  • I haven't found anything i dislike yet, as every time I complain about something or need help, they deal with it instantly.
  • To be honest. There isn’t anything I dislike about it. I’ve used other shop management systems in the past but I truly enjoy this platform and that’s why I stay a subscriber

The planet is truly benefiting from ARI! We have shifted to Shop-Ware and are now almost entirely paperless. These days, we can use a desktop, laptop, tablet, or smartphone for anything we need. We no longer have to worry about arranging technicians' paper work orders because we can now "click and drag" to quickly reorganize tasks.

Customer communication is vastly improved. We no longer have to try to catch a customer on the phone before end of day. They can pay after hours and pick up keys in our key pickup system 24/7.

ARI streamlined everything. From the moment a vehicle rolls into the shop to the moment the invoice is paid, ARI keeps us on track. I especially appreciate how easy it is to manage customer history, track parts, log technician time, and send out professional-looking invoices all in one place. Even our mobile mechanics are now fully synced into the workflow.

The vendor invited me to write this review, and I’m glad to share my experience. As a current user, I can say the software has transformed how we operate. It’s intuitive for techs and front office staff, and the support team is responsive. We were incentivized to provide feedback, but this review reflects our real, daily use in the shop.

The biggest problem was we were only able to use it at the shop. Now we can access it anywhere. The reports also allow the book keeper to easily pull it all and import.
