CoOwner Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Love Alldata......" July 19, 2023 5.0 It's been great since we signed up and we love it! Pros Excellent Program for fleet maintenance! Cons Has more options then we really need but it's worth it! Reason for choosing ALLDATA Shop Manager We found and tried Alldata and it was a done deal for us! Switched from [ARI](https://www.capterra.com/p/201737/ARI/) We lime the simplicity of Alldata more then ARI ! Review Source JL Joan L. Office Manager Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for large maintenance operations" November 15, 2024 4.0 Alldata was easy to use and had a lot of functionality, so much functionality that we were not able to utilize all of it so we ultimately switched to a lower cost provider because we are a smaller shop. Pros We liked how seamless the process was to integrate our Alldata repair data into our shop management software, the ability to easily switch between making estimates and invoices and reviewing repair procedures. For the most part, the program was responsive. Cons Alldata was not an all in one solution for us and we still needed to purchase additional repair instructions even though our shop is on the smaller side and works mostly on older domestics. Switched from [Mitchell RepairCenter](https://www.capterra.com/p/83653/Mitchell-RepairCenter/) Trying to consolidate our subscriptions and integrations Review Source HF Harlee F. Shop Manager Automotive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Alldata Review " February 2, 2023 1.0 Pros The only think I liked about Alldata was the ease of use.

Fleet Administrator Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Essential Software Program for Fleet Management" October 15, 2025 5.0 Extremely helpful. Worth the money if you have a large enough fleet and a shop that does your own repairs for the most part. Pros Extremely useful in helping us to maintain our fleet. Helps us to diagnose and find the best way to repair an issue and make our fleet healthy. Cons There is a lot to learn. Can be a bit confusing when you're first learning how to navigate the software.

Co-Owner Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good Program for the most part...." July 5, 2023 4.0 Overall I would put this as the second best program we have found to ARI which is what we use now. But for the everyday mechanic or shop manager who is experienced shouldnt be a problem. Pros I really like Alldata's general knowledge for troubleshooting but the was some minor complications such as trying to find the correct category for certain things. Cons Confusing on categories when billing or doing shop orders. Reason for choosing ALLDATA Shop Manager Alldata was our first Software for our shop it was recommended and installed by our computer technology partner cause of recommendations.
