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

Great software

Overall rating5.0
I can't believe such app exists at the price they charge for it. It has all the bells and whistles of major platform but I fund it much easier to setup and use. They even have licence plate decoder and car service history, Just that service alone will cost you a fortune on other platforms.
We are very happy with this app. Kudos to the owners!

Perfect for my repair shop

Overall rating5.0
I've been using this software for 6 months and it's a real game-changer. I love the features they keep adding all the time. The last one was POs and vehicle inspections. That gave me the idea to offer 50-point inspections as part of our services and we had great success. Really good app at a very good price!
