AllsystemsMax

Pros: Very straightforward and highly functional software for running our auto repair shop. Now with the cloud version we are browser-based too and can access from anywhere. Perhaps the strongest aspect of the software is the developer himself. Willing to listen to your perspective, talk things through, and make changes to fit your needs. He considers the user base so as not to negatively impact other's experience.

Cons: We struggled with the workflow sometimes; it can be rigid. Sometimes it is just a matter of learning it the first time; other times we were able to develop workarounds to accomplish what we needed to do. Initial training could be stronger; we were trial-and-error for the most part. Attachments of digital photos and inspections to repair orders could be improved; I believe this is being worked on.

Overall: Allsystems Max has done a good job bringing feature enhancements to the market such as emailing and texting customers from within the software. Our overall experience with both the software and with the developer has been very positive; highly recommended.

Pros: easy to use

STAND ALONE, No online or monthly payments/yearly payments required

able to email and send text messages directly from the software

able to brake down cost per item

the system overall has a good feel to it, useful information like what your sales are at, cost of people, parts, tax, ect.

worldpac connect makes my life easier

the links to carfax provide very useful information and the vin decoder is a plus.

tailored to the needs of an auto repair shop

I would highly recommend this software to any mechanic shop looking for an upgrade. it has a great data base set up, and the functionality keeps increasing with every update.

Cons: I Run the newest version as somewhat of a beta tester, at first like any new product, we found some flaws/ bugs that would sometimes slow us down. now that the final version is out, and updates come frequently, we were able to tailor the software to what is useful for us in the mechanic industry. once all the bugs were gone, the software runs very very well and very smoothly.

Pros: ITS EASY AND SELF EXPLANATORY, ALL THE REPORTS THAT ARE NEEDED TO TAX PURPOSES IS AT MY FINGER TIPS. MOST OF THE INFO THAT IS NEEDED FOR AN INVOICE IS ALREADY THERE I DON'T HAVE TO ADD MUCH TO IT. I'M ABLE TO ASSIGN WORK TO THE TECH'S, SO THAT WAY THE BOSS KNOWS HOW MUCH WORK ALL HIS TECH'S ARE DONG.

Cons: NOT ABLE TO PRINT AN INDIVIDUAL PAGE MUST SAVE TO DESK TOP THEN PRINT. IF A MISTAKE IS MADE PUTTING IN VENDOR PRICES OR THE VENDOR ITSELF AND THE INVOICE IS CLOSED I CAN'T GO BACK IN UNDER ADMIN TO FIX IT.

Pros: The software has been evolving since the mid-80s and it has many features added to it to make the shop owners life a lot easier. I started using this software in DOS version in Windows 3.1

Overall: Let me put it this way. The software is a boon sent from heaven to Auto Repair Shop Owners and it does meet everything a shop owner needs.

Since the customer service is incredibly fast and efficient any suggestions made by the users is addressed and handles at the earliest.

Pros: I have been using this Software from the early 80s and seen it go thru major changes with add-ons, customization and with every change improving the software to become extremely user-friendly.

Cons: Nothing. Actually, nothing at all. Personally, I like the lack of bells, whistles, and chimes most other Softwares seems to have.

Overall: I will give this software a 10 without any reservation.

Pros: It is very easy to use. I can teach my employees to use it and thy learn it very fast.

Cons: Would like a picture feature of failing items on car to chow customers.

Overall: When ever i had questions or a software issue it was addressed fast and with friendly help.

Pros: The software is easy to use, paid for upfront so no monthly payments.

Cons: Would like to have more options, The labor guide is off on the times.

Overall: Allsystem Max is always there to help with issues.

Pros: Very easy format to create work orders and navigate through the system.

Cons: I wish there was more integration with parts suppliers. Also when applying a discount, a function to apply the discounts to an individual line rather than the total work order.

Overall: Great valued software that is continually being updated.

Pros: easy to use and very affordable professional tool

Cons: high price update and gets old too fast

Overall: Overall good tool and easy to use.

Pros: Very easy to learn, and excellent support! They were very help full with set up, and were able to answer every question I had.

Cons: Needs a better mobile counterpart. I tried it a couple of times, but think they need to work out some of the bugs.

Overall: It helped to better streamline my productivity.

Pros: It is an easy to use software. I was able to purchase it through monthly payments with an end in sight. Unlike most software you can actually purchase and use this software without a monthly recurring fee. I use this incorporated with real time labor and and it is a huge time saver!

Cons: I would like just a little more freedom in the invoice section. I think in adjusting the layout and adding graphics. Overall it is great though.

Overall: I have used it for a few years now. I've used others at different shops and this is by far the best bang for your buck!

Pros: easy to use and affordable price. I like that it connects to parts suppliers and Carfax service. after some invoices made just hit similar jobs, its fast and easy

Cons: I'm still learning a lot with the software and some parts i don't use often are tricky but online help is quick and easy to refresh my memory.

Overall: nice price easy & quick to use
