Ratings and reviews

I've been using ARI for about 3 years now. I started as a mechanic with tools in his truck, and have evolved into a fully fledged mobile mechanic business. I originally didn't care about any features and just wanted a place to keep my invoices. However, as I started to shoulder more responsibility on the business/service writer end of it, I discovered ARI has a feature for everything I need. canned jobs, labor rates, markup, ect. ARI has saved me thousands of dollars.

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.

Been using ARI for about 3 years + now. We have worked through alot of bugs but all in all we love it! All you get, the platform , how it's set up, it's great. We use to have 7 out of 10 invoices screwed up by the time it got to the customer but now it might be 1 or 2 out of 10. We are content with the product just not what the product is costing us! We do think the the cost is a little on the high side and should be lowered. If not then it needs to come with hourly labor guide for free!
