Ratings and reviews

Product is great and support is right there when you need them. I have used many other programs from much larger company's and ari is very easy and the price is very fair. Even with the labor guides cost (try any of the competitions pricing if you don't believe it)it can be inconsistent and not mobile friendly. I do not like the inspection report layout and that it isn't linked to the invoice in terms of adding it as a recommendation which I'm sure you guys will get there at some point.

Update: Last time I left a review that I found out later to not be quite so accurate. After emailing back & forth with a rep from ARI about our concerns, he took care of the issues in a timely manner. He is correct when he stated that they have very similar software compared to other Auto Repair Shop software, but at a fraction of the price. I can also say that I love, love, love the receipt scanning option for expenses. It would be awesome if they could do that with the parts inventory as well.

This is a great piece of software. As an independent mobile mechanic I can easily quote, invoice and take payment all while I'm on the road. With PartsTech I can even order parts once a ticket is approved. I'm even trying to get my full-time job to use this software. They are a small marine repair shop. If there was a little more tailoring towards the marine industy, I could probably push them over the edge. As well as more back and forth with QuickBooks.
