### "Auto dealer DMS"

November 30, 2018

4.0

Pros

Format is simple and easy to use. Function finding is intuitive.

Cons

Glitches are more common than I would like. Has resulted in some loss of data. Over all still a good program.

### "Why I like Autosoft"

June 14, 2023

5.0

I really like the support team that I have, from \[sensitive content hidden\] to all the accounting, hardware, inventory support staff..they are always willing to help and are very interested in helping solve my problem

Pros

It's user friendly, and very logical in my world...

Cons

on days when our dealership is open...sometimes they are not.Isn't really a problem, this would not let me submit without writing something here, it's optional

Reason for choosing Autosoft DMS

We felt it was a good system, we didn't have to pay for all the bells and whistle, cause our management team didn't always want to use all the options available....we didn't pay higher prices, for things we didn't use

### "Old software"

June 13, 2023

2.0

It works (mostly) and is very inexpensive. The help line people are very nice and helpful.Could not recommend to anyone in todays I.T. environment based off the reason listed above. Having to make our I.T. environment less safe to get a program (ASI) to properly run is not a good sign of proper coding and testing. This should at the top of the priority list to fix.

Pros

Its cheap and the employees are nice and helpful.

Cons

Constant crashing. Failure to run more than one instance. Have to turn of UAC for the DMS to work (this one is huge. We have to turn off integrated windows controls to get ASI to run, this should illegal).

### "Autosoft review Lamb Motor Co."

June 30, 2023

5.0

I have been able to find mistakes of things that have happened in the past and move forward in an attempt to correct those errors. And when I run into an issue, I have been able to call and get assistance rather quickly and easily from the support team.

Pros

For my position I like that I can easily make required entries and be able to find past entries to look back on if I need to wrap my head around what I need to do.

Cons

I'm not sure, with time as I continue to get more acquainted with the software I would be able to find something.

### "Easy to use software, excellant customer service. "

June 14, 2023

5.0

While there are changes I would like to see, I can honestly say that Autosoft does what I need it to do and the customer service is fantastic.

Pros

I love the simplicity and ease of use of this software.

Cons

I dislike that I have to update customer data in more than one location. I would also like the capability to upload all reports to excel.

### "No way to see its problems until you purchase. "

November 4, 2020

3.0

Good Idea, Good Price, Poor Delivery, Stagnant Development, Deficient on Functions

Pros

Was able to view a bit more reporting than what we were used to. It integrated well with some providers we couldn't before.

Cons

The constant glitches and computing errors the system produces. There's many functions that should be standard across the DMS world that you're unable to do in this system. They're not end of the world but there are MANY and they're a constant nuisance. Support will always say that a fix or feature is "in development" but its just an attempt at putting fire out. It's cheaper than many others we looked at, but you get many headaches along with it. Spend the money and get a DMS that will work for you.

AutoSoft is ok, It is very basic & simple.

### "President of an auto group"

February 1, 2019

5.0

Training was excellent. The training staff from AutoSoft was very good, and actually stayed on-site to make sure that we didn't have any additional questions. They were extremely knowledgeable about dealership operations and how we could utilize every aspect of the software program. The support at their corporate headquarters has been excellent. They contact us frequently to see if we have any questions, but we haven't needed them. If we ever have to call them in the future for questions, it is nice that they don't charge us for talking with someone, like our previous software company did. I truly believe that the training experience and smooth transition that we had with AutoSoft was in large part, due to the fact that each one of our employees embraced the new system, and knew ahead of time that there would be changes and to go into this with our eyes wide open, not with blinders on. With that being said, our conversion went extremely well, with very few glitches. It was important that we held meetings before we converted and explained to everyone what to expect and why we were making the changes. Everyone came together as a team, and the conversion went smoothly. Even our 40-50-60 year old employees adapted well.

Pros

Overall, we are very satisfied with this software. We have been using this software for 3 months now, after coming from one of the major national software brands. It is very easy to use, and our employees all seemed to train and adapt easily. There were a few small glitches, but nothing major. The glitches were on our part, not Auto Soft. All departments integrated and worked well with each other. Accounting was easy and payroll especially, was very easy to run. Accounting has some nice features. The Parts, service and F&I departments all integrate well. The monthly software fee is very reasonable, and has saved our company a lot of money, (several thousands of dollars each month).

Cons

The only small downfall that we can see with Auto Soft, is in the Service Warranty area. When we enter a repair order for warranty submission, there are a few extra steps that we have to enter in order to close it out. There may be a short cut to what we are currently doing, so this may actually not be an issue. Our office manager and our warranty manager are currently working that out. For only being on this system for 3 months, actually everything is going smoothly.

### "Negative Stars"

April 19, 2022

1.0

Terrible.

Pros

Nothing. This software is all smoke and mirrors.

Cons

Everything. Don't waste your time. They lock you into a 3-year contract for a reason. You would not want to stay in a relationship with them unless you are forced to.

### "It does the job "

June 27, 2023

3.0

over the last 10 years it has be positive with very few negatives.

Pros

I like the fact that most of our F&I software is easy to use. It doesn't do a good job of decoding vehicles though.

Cons

The lag on the accounting, parts & service side is disappointing. We also seem to get kicked out a lot.

### "When something happens they can't explain, it's a "glitch". You have to watch your payroll closely"

May 31, 2018

2.0

easy program for someone new to company to learn.

Pros

Easy to use. Accounting side is easy to use. this is about the only pro I can give you for this software.

Cons

Too many things happen that they can't explain. Old vehicle sales show up in the sales journal and the only explanation is someone in sales was "looking that customer up & pushed the old sale back to accounting." Hogwash. Too many glitches happen that they can't explain. There for a while there were so many that I was wondering if a disgruntled employee might be sabotaging their software.

### "Worst DMS available"

January 2, 2019

2.0

Overall a bad experience in parts and service.

Pros

the only thing to like about it is the price and that's where it ends, works on the vehicle sales side but not at all in service

Cons

Everything, constant problems with losing information in RO's, not adaptable to other information systems. Horrible customer service. What else can I say?

### "Autosoft is an overall extremely helpful accounting system."

May 10, 2018

5.0

Effective management within the department I am currently in.

Pros

What I like most about Autosoft overall is how organized it is. It has individual accounts that help you keep track of the most specific things that in turn allow you to manage your business more effectively.

Cons

My least favorite thing about Autosoft is the change I understand will be taking place very soon. From what I was told Autosoft will merge with the internet, which I am not anticipating being as the system as a whole will more than likely change a great deal in the process. I'm not looking forward to re-learning everything there is to do with the system.

### "Get What you Pay for"

November 3, 2016

4.0

AutoSoft isn't the most involved DMS out there, and there are times when we need in-depth reporting that we're unable to achieve, but it's also one of the cheapest DMS's out there - hence my review title - you get what you pay for. For the most part, it gets the job done!

Pros

Cheap Cost, live customer care, easy to Use

Cons

Not very in-depth with their reporting tools, not always able to achieve what I need to

### "Autosoft crm is easy to use and affordable "

December 5, 2019

4.0

We are working much quicker to get customers in and out.

Pros

It keeps everything basic- but also includes all vital aspects of inventory management and sales. It is by far one of the best systems we use

Cons

When working in service the system is a bit confusing but with proper training it is easy to get familiar with

Frazier was good when we were smaller but with three locations this systems was able to handle our volume better and accounting is easier on back end

### "Doesn't integrate with anything"

November 16, 2016

4.0

Autosoft could be a great product, but it doesn't integrate with ANY of our other programs. We work constantly to keep everything running smoothly between databases, programs and vendors and our biggest (and truthfully only) road block is AutoSoft. By itself, it works great... but unfortunately in today's automotive age, your product has to be able to talk to other products. Also, the couple of times I called support they seemed to know only as much as I do about the product. It's a good price, but in the end, you get what you pay for.

### "Frustrating at times"

April 11, 2017

2.0

Information from Repair Orders sometimes will switch from one RO to another, Prices have been going up, up and up forcing us to look for a provider that we get what we pay for. It seems since the business has changed hands its value has plummeted
