### "Shop Boss Pro is a MUST HAVE!"

August 16, 2016

5.0

There are so many things we love about Shop Boss. Most importantly it is extremely user friendly. It takes time and money to train employees on software. If you can navigate around the internet, you can effectively use Shop Boss!

Pros

User friendly, ability to access online (nice for us to check in while on vacation), quality, constantly adding new features to keep up with the technological changes, excellent price point. We also appreciate the customer service, often times the owner, Chris is the one to directly contact us to answer and questions we have or customize the software to fit our needs. Shop Boss has excellent reports that give us an instant snap shot of where our business is financially at any given time.

Cons

None, if ever there is a concern it is addressed immediately!

### "Automotive Business Game Changer"

August 16, 2016

5.0

When we started with SBP nearly 3 years ago my crew didn't see the need to move from our carbon paper based tickets, hand written estimates, and "I think we need" inventories. After we fully implemented the software everyone couldn't believe the hundreds of steps it saved us each day, and the value of the historical data it provided us. Since we started our little shop has had over 16,000 repair orders. I cannot even imagine doing all this on paper again.

Pros

Ease of use, responsiveness to our needs for assistance or feature improvements.

Cons

I haven't had time to implement so many of the most powerful features yet.

### "Best shop software to date!"

October 23, 2012

5.0

I cant recommend this enough

Pros

runs on any web device web based no software to install the support is amazing, problems are fixed immediately. good EULA I feel that my data is safe and customer information will not be sold or used by a 3rd party. I was looking for a way to run the shop without using the Windows operating system. I realized that I wanted a web based program. Shop Boss Pro is THE answer! Feature rich, easy to use and learn. With the best customer support I have ever received from ANY company hands down. I use it on computers loaded with Ubuntu Linux, with ipads and one windows machine. allows us to run the shop completely paperless, from vehicle intake to right before the invoice is printed, there is no paper. accessible from any computer online. Absolutely a 5 star system. can be run on older computers, no server costs or the costs of constantly upgrading computers. an absolute bargain!

Cons

honestly, none so far that the developer has not fixed within hours.

### "ShopBoss Review"

January 14, 2020

4.0

We decided Shop Boss took a lot of additional time trying to get everything typed up but other than that it was a great program.

Pros

The software was easy to navigate. Its functionality was great with its color coding.

Cons

We did not like writing in our labor descriptions or parts descriptions. We found that in order to re read what you wrote you would have to save it, look on the main page of thE repair order then go back in and scroll through the line that you type the description and find where the spot to edit. In that line only 10 words or so would fit so you had to use the arrows to get through the entire description.

### "online based software"

April 30, 2012

5.0

Very easy, and simple to use software. I came from a dealership that used "cause, concern, and correction" on there invoices. Shop boss brings that to the table. Very easy/simple layout. You type in your customers concerns, fill in the parts, type your story, and you're ready to print. We are a small shop that wanted simple and efficient software. No contracts, great customer support. Shop Boss will work with you and make any kind of changes you need, or want to add. To sum it up... shopboss is like an iphone compared to a blackberry. iphone's are simple, to the point, and easy to use. where blackberrys are crammed, and over loaded with pointless features.

Pros

Online based and can be accessed from anywhere, any computer, any smart phone.

Cons

none at this time

I would recommend shop boss pro to anyone with a repair shop, any size shop. it makes a hugh difference.

Pros

I have used several different programs and none of them compare to shop boss. this program has really made my business come together. the customer support is 110% above the rest as well.

Cons

i really don't have anything negative to say about shop boss. well, maybe I would like an quick estimate button and photos from all data

My needs were a little bit different because we are a fire truck repair shop, so Chris and the guys at shopboss made some changes specifically for us. I couldn't ask for a better customer support group. Thanks guys.

Pros

Very simple to use. Outstanding customer support. Very affordable.

Cons

None...ready for a shopboss app!
