Owner/Master Mechanic
5.0

Speaker 1: My name is Jesse. I'm the owner of DJ Integrity Mobile Mechanic here in Kansas City, and I give Real Time Labor Guide five stars. With Real Time, they pretty much dominate all the needs of my business. As far as any quotes go or any estimates go, I can go there and I can hop on there and I can get to it in a matter of seconds. It's lovely. I appreciate it very much. What I like most about real time is how they keep the prices and the labor estimates, they keep all them numbers updated and current, so you know you're going to get what you're looking for. Me, myself, I use Real Time on PC. I would try to make it more of an Android-compatible type thing for myself, because I like to use my phone more than I like to use my computer. So if I had to change anything, I would try to focus more on making it more of an Android software than a PC software.
