### "Amazing product"

October 17, 2019

5.0

WONDERFUL!!!!!

Pros

This is most comprehensive automotive billing and CRM software available. The support is outstanding. Its easy to use platform is wonderful for both in-house and customers.

Cons

One small recommendation would be a fee for service button instead of differentiated in only part/ labor/ tire/ subcontract.

Reason for choosing Shopmonkey

Its specialty in the automotive industry and easy of use.

August 22, 2019

5.0

Pros

The features were really good when I started. They have continued to get better and exceeded my expectations. The support is amazing. I feel the team at Shopmonkey are my partners in a more profitable shop.

Cons

There are no cons. Any issue I or my employees have had have been our own faults and the team has helpfully and cheerfully helped us resolve each one.

### "100% Would recommend to any shop"

April 21, 2021

5.0

We love using shop monkey, its like having a whole other person working (But ShopMonkey shows up on time and doesn't have an attitude!).

Pros

Shop Monkey is easy for anyone to jump in and use. Very easy to schedule and remind customers for appointments. Love the feature where I can put in the license plate in and it brings up the car info and VIN. Customer service is always friendly and extremely helpful.

Cons

The only thing that was frustrating was switching from our old system to ShopMonkey. We couldn't get all of our old tickets and data switched over. But that probably had to do with our previous system so I don't have any complaints for ShopMonkey

### "Wow! What a relief!"

December 10, 2018

5.0

I've been able to watch things closer than ever.

Pros

When I decided that we needed to make a big change in the shop, I demoed close to 20 different softwares. Shop Monkey seems to be the only one headed in a positive direction with lots of momentum. It’s 80% of what I need now and will work with them on the rest. They are doing something pretty incredible and I want to be along for the ride.

Cons

It's still new so there's a little ways to go..but that's what I like too. It isn't 20 years old with updates to make it 'modern'

### "A company that truly understands delivering on customer service"

February 2, 2021

5.0

This is a great company. The entire staff is truly friendly and responsive. They listen to their customer concerns and work hard to resolve any issues. Most of all they LISTEN to their customers which was a huge plus for me.

Pros

It is super intuitive. The software helped our office run much smoother.

Cons

We are an premium auto detailing company but the software is formatted towards automotive and auto body shops.

### "Happy VW Shop"

October 5, 2018

5.0

Pros

We really like be able to generate quote and forward those to our clients for review. Then being able to change that to an active work order and then a completed invoice. Also, its great to be able to track communications and activities by work order.

Cons

In addition to the VW service shop, we have our own fleet of vehicles. ShopMonkey is not really set up for fleet management - so we are on another system for that. Would be great to be able to integrate the two in the future.

### "We have been using Shopmonkey for our auto body and restoration shop. We LOVE it!"

March 16, 2018

5.0

We benefit from this program because it makes it easier to keep track of our orders, inventory, timesheets, payroll, profitability, reporting, and customer interactions. We searched high and low for a great program and are lucky to have found Shopmonkey.

Pros

We love that it is evolving with the needs of the industry. We also love that it can be used to practically run the paperwork and the shop without alot of effort. Any time that I need help with something, I can call, text, or email and the problem is fixed or the issue is addressed almost immediately with fast and friendly service. They continue to add things that I need and are very helpful with ideas that I hadn't thought of.

Cons

It is only compatible with quickbooks online and we do not use quickbooks online. Other than that, there are not really any concerns that we have at this time that haven't already been addressed.

March 24, 2021

5.0

Pros

What I like most about this software is the ease of use and the modern, simple design.

Cons

Still some features that could be added (especially for automotive industry) that would helpful. Still a newer company so I love the fact that they have product feature requests to suggest things.

### "Best Customer Service"

June 18, 2020

5.0

Pros

Chat with customer service, easily resolve problems and questions Organizes all of my customers and their cars Easy to set up and use They are constantly taking suggestions and improving the software Easily send texts, emails, and photos to customers

Cons

If I have to, I will say that there currently isn't a way to add business expenses like shop rent and utilities into Shopmonkey. Shopmonkey integrates with Quickbooks, and then you add those types of expenses also in Quickbooks. Not quite a one-stop-shop, but they did take my suggestion down and it could be a possibility on the future.

April 30, 2020

So far I’ve had a great experience with shopmonkey! I’ve already recommended it to a few friends! It gives a modern feel to shop management that most of the competitors don’t have.

Pros

Very user friendly and easy to use and navigate interface.

Cons

To change invoice/estimate numbers you have to contact support, it is not doable in an easy manner.

January 28, 2019

5.0

Pros

I use Shopmonkey to manage our high school automotive technology program. It works perfectly to manage all of our projects and gives my students real world shop expeience. What I like most is that it is easy to use with many diffent users set up as technicians and adminstrators. If I were to start up a professional reapir shop I would deffinelty stick with Shopmonkey.

Cons

We would really love to have a phone app.

May 13, 2018

Organizes all my customer's data!

Pros

I have evaluated many shop management systems and this by far is the best! If you own a shop you need this software! Just try it and use it and you will be glad you did!

Cons

I wish I could give the customer service more stars! Some recommendations I have made were already on the table and the ones that weren't were implemented quickly! you just don't get that from a software app company!

### "Motorcycle Repair Shop"

April 19, 2019

5.0

Effective and efficient. Thank you. Woohoo!

Pros

Customer support is my number 1 requirement. Shopmonkey has gone above and beyond with continued support since implementation, with quick responses to questions and willingness to accommodate feature requests. As for the software itself, I am satisfied with "package". Shopmonkey has replaced two separate programs we used before and is working on a third. Storage of customer communications and responses is a bonus. Kudos!

Cons

I'm not as adept as I'd like to be at this time. I will revisit this question, if applicable.
