### "Best software for the price, still feels clunky. "

July 12, 2025

4.0

It was overall okay. Writing invoices was very easy and they presented a very professional feel. Navigating the software was king old of clunky and awkward. Sometimes the vehicle I wanted to add just wasn’t there. The vin decode did work well and the integration with Carfax was nice.

Pros

It’s got everything an automotive shop would need to survive in the digital world. It offered all these features at a fraction of the price of its competition.

Cons

It’s kind of clunky. I used it primarily as a mobile mechanic and the phone interface leaves a lot to be desired. It is function, don’t get me wrong, it’s a scaled version of the web app. I’d like a slicker, easier to use and navigate interface.

### "The BEST Bang for Buck Automotive Platform"

April 29, 2026

5.0

Overall experience with ARI has been a blast, super responsive and in the time I have used ARI I have seen 2 UI updates. Just showing how much they are wanting to update and improve their platform.

Pros

The thing I like the most about ARI is how organized everything else. I mean from customers to vehicles to tax information. It is all super easy to find and navigate.

Cons

I think maybe the thing I like the least about ARI is the M1 integration. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't it really is just kind of hit or miss sometimes with how the M1 labor time integration works

### "High Potential"

April 28, 2026

3.0

I feel it has potential and I will hang on until improvements are made because I feel it is going in the right direction overall.

Pros

Value for money is the major pro with this software. I like features that make things easier. The Labor Definitions. Invoices take less time than with other software.

Cons

Interface, Slowness, Syncing, Integrations and Invoice template are in need of some upgrades. Emailing feature has had some hiccups with customers. Major information that should be more visible or prominent.

### "ARI is the perfect partner for a small mechanic business "

April 29, 2026

4.0

ARI has been essential in making my business easier to manage and saves me tremendous amounts of time making my business more profitable and giving my customers better service.

Pros

I love the AI labor guides. They are fairly accurate and the small changes that I do have to make save me hours over what I used to spend to create quotes from scratch.

Cons

It also deals with the AI labor guides. Occasionally it will create a guide that is incorrect for the vehicle. That is selected. There is no way that I have seen to get the AI to correct the guides.

### "Great software for starters in a small business. "

April 28, 2026

5.0

Overall, this is a great software solution for small shops. It offers great value for the price, and I was impressed by how easy it was to get started. The software's capabilities are well-matched to its price.

Pros

You get human customer support. Replies to question fairly quickly. Bugs and issues usually get fixed fairly quickly. Always continuing to improve the software. Great value for money compared to the well-known companies in the same field. Lots of extras are included compared to the large companies. It has pretty much what one may need to start out without breaking the bank or contracts.

Cons

Still lots to improve in the accounting and integration with QuickBooks. Purchase order numbering is still not working 100%. Inventory management in keeping records of what you order, how the inventory gets into the system and creating duplicate parts in inventory where one should be able to trace back to the work order/invoice is not available.

### "DONT BE IN DOUBT BY THE PRICE!!"

April 28, 2026

4.0

OVERALL IM SATISFIED WITH IT AND PLAN IN THE FUTURE TO GET THE FULL ACCESS TO BE ABLE TO LOOK UP REPAIR INFO.

Pros

THE PRICE POINT IS NUMBER 1. BUT EASE OF ACCESS IS GREAT AS WELL. WOULD PROB WORK BETTER IF I HAD TIME TO SIT DOWN AND FULLY LEARN HOW TO USE ALL ITS FUNCTIONS. MY CUSTOMERS RAVE ABOUT IT TOO! SMS INVOICES ARE DETAILED FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IM DOING TO THEIR VEHICLE.

Cons

IM POSITIVE THERES MORE IN THE SOFTWARE TO MAKE THINGS RUN EASIER BUT FIGUREING THEM OUT IS A LITTLE CONFUSING.

April 29, 2026

The software demonstrates commendable functionality. While customer support could benefit from enhancement, the product offers significant value for its cost.

Pros

The cost-effectiveness of this service offers exceptional value. The bookkeeping software is built right in

Cons

It appears that some of the labor times are slightly inaccurate. The system could use an update to reflect the proper labor time

### "Honest review from a mobile brake repair service owner"

April 29, 2026

5.0

I'm extremely satisfied with ARI during the period that I have been using it and I plan on continuing to use it in the future. I look forward to the future updates!

Pros

What I like the most about ARI is the amount of features if offers for the price point, I like the integrations that ARI offers, it makes everything much easier and I don't have to navigate to multiple software which is a huge plus. Another aspect that stood out to me is the customer support, the response time is extremely quick and very open to feedback, they have been really helpful and the response time makes work so much smoother and quicker. I also love the fact that ARI offers a client portal and customer relationship management features. Overall I'm very impressed with the quality and service that ARI provides.

Cons

Some things that I would like to note are the limited invoice template options (enabling qr code for custom invoices, editing certain fields, like moving phone number below email for the default template, etc.) The license plate decoder is also buggy at times when pulling vehicle information.

### "Competes with other shop management software for a fraction of the price."

April 29, 2026

5.0

Overall, I have been very impressed with ARI. They are on par with the more expensive guys for a fraction of the price. They are always making improvements.

Pros

ARI has been a great investment for my business. As a startup, I needed shop management software to keep my on track, but couldn't afford $300 per month or more that other companies charge. I settled on ARI and am so happy I did. For a fraction of the price, I can track customers, vehicles, payments, and workflows. ARI has inspection sheets, The best AI labor guide I have used, reports to show me what my business is doing, and sends my customers service reminders. ARI also integrates with Square, QuickBooks, Mitchell 1, and Parts Tech. I love the parts tech integration because I can order parts right from my estimates. They are also quick to respond to customer support.

Cons

ARI offers A LOT for the money, and as a result, there is some stuff I don't use. A good example is the Invoice status menu. ARI offers 11 different statuses for invoices but I only use four or five. I wish these features were customizable.

I'm very pleased with the tools provided. They are all essential for business operations. I would highly recommend Ari.

Pros

This software is easy to use and saves me time by eliminating the need to switch between different programs. The QuickBooks integration is seamless and works perfectly.

Everything is awesome with the app. Easy to navigate, editing seems to be one of my biggest needs as of late and the app makes it extremely easy to accomplish when I need it. I love the platform. Very happy with my decision to choose this program.

Cons

Not that I have any dislikes I would say, more of a disappointment. I am not able to link Identifix with the program nor my scan tool for dtc data straight to the repair order.

April 28, 2026

5.0

Love the app, can’t see switching anytime soon. It’s an amazing all in one app with amazing tech support and intergrades into the app like Michell and tech pro

Pros

It’s an all in one app, I can have my inventory, invoices, reports, and the added labor guides is a huge bonus, and LOVE the live links for customers so I don’t have to send them multiple times if they want to change something, love have I can enter the vin and the vehicle information come up. Customer support is great and fast when I have issues. And love how I can order parts from it and have them put into the invoice automatically.

Cons

Starting to take longer to load app since last update, but they usually fix things fast. Would be nice to intergrade Vinmo or Cash App. Lots of customers ask if I have that.

FYI, You can already use both Venmo and CashApp with ARI. For Venmo, just make sure you connect your paypal account to ARI in settings and Venmo will show up automatically as a payment method. ForCashApp make sure you use Square and that cashapp is activated on your Square account!

### "Great Automotive software "

May 1, 2026

5.0

Pros

I’ve been using ARI Automotive Repair Software for my shop, and it’s honestly been a huge time saver. The estimating and invoicing process is quick, clean, and easy to understand, which helps me stay organized and get customers taken care of faster. What I like most is how straightforward everything is—building estimates, converting them into invoices, and keeping track of jobs all in one place without jumping through hoops. It’s made my workflow smoother and cut down on a lot of wasted time. If you’re running an automotive business and want something simple but effective to keep your paperwork tight, ARI is definitely worth checking out.

Cons

One downside I’ve noticed with ARI Automotive Repair Software is the inconsistency in labor times and pricing within the system. For example, on certain jobs you’ll see multiple options like “remove and replace engine assembly” and “remove and replace engine,” and depending on which one you click, the labor time (and price) can be completely different. It can feel like every time you go back in, the numbers shift around, which makes it a little frustrating when you’re trying to keep estimates consistent and accurate. It’s not a deal breaker, but it does mean you have to double-check your selections and not rely 100% on the first number that pops up. If they tighten that up and make labor operations more standardized, it would make the software even better.

April 28, 2026

5.0

Pros

Value for Money: Offers a high-end feature set at a fraction of the cost of enterprise-level software, making it an excellent investment for independent operations. ​Workflow Management: Streamlines the daily grind by making it easy to convert estimates to invoices and manage appointments, which helps reduce administrative "desk time." ​Car Information: The VIN decoding and vehicle database are highly accurate, ensuring you have the right mechanical specs and service history before starting a job. ​Repair Status: Provides clear visibility into the lifecycle of every project, ensuring that no task falls through the cracks and client communication remains professional. ​Security: Cloud-based storage and secure multi-device syncing keep customer data and financial records safe and accessible from anywhere. ​Customer Support: The support team is industry-savvy and proactive, offering helpful guidance when navigating the software’s more technical features.

Cons

Bugs and Issues: The most significant drawback is the current state of template management. I encounter formatting glitches and data field errors when attempting to use either the built-in ARI "custom" templates or my own custom-designed versions. This lack of reliability in the document system can lead to unprofessional-looking outputs that require manual correction.
