OWNER Used the software for: ### "Best Automotive software in the industry!!!" March 28, 2013 5.0 Great program. Easy to use. Extremely helpful staff. To describe my personality, I HATE CHANGES. ANY CHANGES. But I'm glad I purchased TABS! Pros We have been in the tire business for 9 years now. Over the years, we have tried a few different programs before TABS....all which were to exhausting to use. We purchased TABS because of a extremely high recommendation from another tire store owner(who TABS should hire as their salesman) It was the best thing that has happened to us. Besides being extremely easy to use, their Support staff are the best in the industry. This past week, our computers were attacked by a "worm" virus...and it literally contaminated all of our workstations. Troy and Glen of TABS both stepped up and help resolved the situation by doing a speedy analysis and quick reinstall. Unlike some of the Automotive Software Co out there, I was able to dial their Support number...and get someone on the phone the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th time I called. In addition, Glen even picked up the phone late after their closing time to assist me with a full installation after I reformatted the computers. Cons No cons. Product is great. Staff is great. Review Source LH Lisa H. Owner Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The system works well for invoicing and inventory control." May 29, 2018 5.0 Pros I like the simplicity of moving between quote and work order. Building invoices and being able to put notes is easy. They system as a whole is intuitive as it is much like my old system that was replaced by this one. Cons The search functionality for customers is not well done. You cannot simply put in a keyword like you should be able to. In fact if there is a period in a name (i.e. CA Dept. of Fish & Wildlife) you can't find that name if you don't put in the period. That make me crazy! Review Source Response from TABS June 13, 2018 Thank you for your review! Now that our support staff has shown you how to do a wildcard search the system should be even more efficient for you. MM MUHAMMAD M. OWNER Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "TALKING ABOUT A SOFTWARE I HAVE BEEN USING ALMOST 7 YEARS NOW " December 8, 2016 5.0 BEEN USING SINCE 2010 ITS EASY AND COMPREHENSIVE.SUPPORT TEAM IS ALWAYS THERE WHEN I NEED THEM.OVERALL PERFORMANCE IS GREAT Pros EASY Cons ENROLLMENT FEE Review Source Response from TABS December 8, 2016 We really appreciate the great recommendation! We took the advice of you and others and now have both a purchase, and a lower enrollment fee subscription option, which we did not offer 7 years ago. LM Liberty M. Salesman Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "InventoryFluent" May 27, 2023 5.0 Pros The functionality and performance of this is exceptional, my inventory has never been more fluent than it is now. Cons i am 100% happy with it i have no complaints at all Review Source SS Sharon S. Owner Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The software is great. I wish I knew how to utilize all it's features " July 17, 2018 5.0 As stated in review; consumer data base Pros The Customer Data Base is the most useful thing for me so far. It's really the only feature I know how to use proficiently Cons I still can't figure out what else it does or how to send out emails for services that are pre set....or do projections for coming years ect Review Source JJ Joshua J. Vice President Used the software for: ### "The only way to run an automotive business" August 13, 2010 5.0 When I purchased my tabs software I had tried 4 different companies repair software. After trying tabs I knew it would be the best value. It was not until I needed help understanding an aspect of the program that I really understood what I had just purchased. The support team is very knowledgeable and eager to help in any way they can. I plan on only using TABS autobiz for my growing business. If you own a large or small auto repair shop you don't know how much you need this software untill you have used it and then try to work without it. Pros Extremely comprehensive. Very intuitive and easy to use repair software. The way parts ordering, looking up labor times and everything else that goes into writing repair orders is seamlessly put together in the tabs auto biz software is by far the best. Takes advantage of new technology with the ability to email receipts and automatically let customers know when the are due for their next service. Customer service is superb. Cons I would not know how to opperate my business with out TABS autobiz. Review Source JC Jim C. President Used the software for: ### "TABs Rocks!" June 23, 2011 5.0 TABs has exceeded my expectations and I have recommended it to many of my colleages. Pros At C&R Tire, we have 2 retail service centers that do tires and complete automotive service, plus a local wholesale division with 4 delivery vans. We went live with TABs on November 1, 2010 at the begining of our busiest 2 months. TABS is so intuitive, we were operating more efficiently with TABs within 2 weeks than we were after 2 years on our previous software. Four months in were were using enhanced intergrated features like Wholesale Web Ordering, Carquest, Wenchhead, Alldata, Customer Link. OEConnections and Recommended Services. TABs has also been very receptive to my suggestions on how to make their system even better. I looked at about 10 POS packages before chosing TABSand TABs is hands down the most comprehensive and efficient. Oh, and the price is pretty good too. Cons I haven't found any yet. Review Source JP Jerry P. Business owner/construction Construction Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Knowing the source!" February 22, 2021 4.0 As it stands now the pros outweigh the cons for 1 very specific reason that I mentioned it before cracking last man repair that saves me a maximum amount of time Pros As I mentioned in the title knowing the source meaning I love the fact it can track last man repair so I don't have to try to track down who did what! What a game changer Cons Which again my only complaint that I found so far and briefly speaking customer service is not very responsive with Live help let me connect you here let me connect you there don't have time for that Review Source Response from TABS April 28, 2021 We primarily serve the automotive industry, not the construction industry, and we have no record of your business accessing any version of our software. We do track mechanics, but do not have a feature called "last man repair." Also, contacting our support connects you directly with our local support staff without going through transfers. Support is one of our biggest strengths, as you can note from our other reviews. KW Kevin W. Owner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Software is easy to use and has many benefits to assist our customers with their Automotive needs." July 13, 2018 5.0 Software and service provide exceptional value to anyone in the Automotive repair and maintenance business. Pros Ease of use, Integration with other apps and programs, reporting is great and inventory control is great. Cons Nothing disliked about this company, Any issues we do have, support will correct or make changes to system to eliminate out issues. Review Source gW gary W. owner Used the software for: ### "Tabs review" May 3, 2012 4.0 I believe the staff at TABS really cares to make their offering a success. Currently I feel it is good value and I expect that as they get more feedback the program will become even more user friendly. Pros We found the program to be the most cost effective solution available with all the features we were looking for. The program is relatively easy to enter data into, both customers and inventory. Work orders and quotes can be put together quite quickly and the feature to send quotes to the work order saves time. Sending email reminders to customers is a handy feature and can be set up in advance. Cons Although it has muliple report formats I found it difficult to do a month end spreadsheet with the info I wanted. I'm not an accountant so I don't know if the formats of the exsisting reports are useful to most shops. Review Source bM blair M. owner Automotive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "grate software easy to use " February 13, 2019 5.0 easy to order and set up easy to use program support all ways helps me when i need help over all grate software Pros easy for anyone to use easy to set up support all ways helps me when i need help Cons carfax / vin decoder needs vin decoder not tided to carfax Review Source MK MATTHEW K. Owner Used the software for: ### "Best Tire and Automotive Software" October 28, 2015 5.0 We found this company one day while google searching a problem with our previous software and Quickbooks. The free demo really looked good and so we opted for the free trial and fell in love with it. We were fortunate enough to be one of the first to install the multi-store version and it has been awesome. The part and labor guide intergration works great and saves time while building estimates. If a problem occurs or if help is needed the support staff are fast and really listen to what issues you are having. Autofluent has made a lot of changes for their customers since the release because they are really trying hard to make their software the best. We spent mega bucks on 3 other big software companies prior to finding AutoFluent and feel like this is the best value and feature rich one you can get. No other company will allow you a free trial period and Autofluent is growing and improving everyday to keep up with the demand of new and improved features. Review Source LR Lynn R. Office Manager Used the software for: ### "Review of AutoBiz" October 20, 2014 4.0 Not any one program would b a perfect fit for our specialized business, however AutoBiz comes the closest. The biggest benefit of AutoBiz is the program allows us to see profitability in a job from the start and helps us invoice customers quickly after the job is complete. We can see right away the profit in a job and adjust with ease if necessary. The inventory system is very useful and easy to use. Technical support is excellent. There are a few limitations in the AutoBiz program. The reports for customers, vendors, and inventory are a bit cumbersome to use and are limited options and there is no option to save reports you might use repeatedly. Also, once an invoice is finalized there is no way to adjust the pricing or add any charges. Overall AutoBiz is a good program. Review Source KD Kristin D. Office Manager Used the software for: ### "Impressive!" March 15, 2016 5.0 This program is everything that I had hoped it would be, and a whole lot more. It has taken a bit to learn my way around, but that is only because we updated from a simple, DOS-based system. It seems that every day I discover some new little feature that makes my life exponentially easier! Having the CARFAX feature to look up vehicles by plate number, followed by being connected to NAPA Prolink to directly look up and order parts for that specific vehicle, has streamlined everything around here. The program is easy to customize to work best for you. I was very hesitant to switch to a new program, after 15 years of being so familiar with what we were using, but honestly, switching to AutoFluent was the best thing that we ever did. Review Source MM MELISSA M. OFFICE ASST Used the software for: ### "NOVEMBER 2012" November 9, 2012 4.0 I would recommend this software. Pros The customer service that Troy and Sean provide is exceptional and I couldn't be happier! Cons The only true frustration I have with the program is when I need to look at several Work Orders (looking for a vender on a part purchased, etc.) the system will take me back to the home page (and not stay on that customer's history) unless I use preview. If I use preview I can't view the vendor or list pricing. I would love it if the programers could make a "Done" button that would stay on the customer until I was "Done" with that customer. =) Review Source DD Diane D. Bookkeeper Used the software for: ### "When the Bookkeeper's happy, everybody's happy" August 16, 2010 5.0 Would highly recommend their software and support. We were on an old one-write system. TABS has saved hours of time on a daily basis with invoicing and monthly statements are a breeze. Pros TABS support did all the installation, so all I had to do was enter our customer base and outstanding invoices. Very easy to work with Glenn and our accountant to set up QuickBooks accounts. Support has been great! We've made some really creative mistakes, and support has always been available immediately to undo our errors and walk us through instructions. Cons Can't really think of any cons. Review Source YA Yusuf A. President Used the software for: ### "Great System" August 17, 2010 4.0 This is a great system and we love using it. Even my service advisor who isn't tech savvy is proficient with the system Pros Tons of features that help me watch my bottom line. I also like the invoice format and ability to integrate other systems such as credit card processing, ALLDATA, etc. Supports is awesome, if I have a question there is always someone available to assist me. Cons Tutorials don't cover all the features that are in the software. Some features are not inuitive but again support is great and usually solves my questions. Review Source J&CJ Joe & Charissa J. owner Used the software for: ### "Lincoln Avenue Smog & New Life Auto Salon " October 28, 2010 5.0 I would recommend TABS to any business Pros 1\. Customer Support is always there when you need them. 2. The updates are always helpful and what we as customers ask for. 3. Customer Support is always willing to advise ways for the program to fit your needs. 4. Training is wonderful where you call in and log on and go through each step with the trainer ask questions. I know I am forgetting things however, have been very happy with the TABS program and the staff. Cons 1\. Have not had any to date.

Office Manager Used the software for: ### "Best Auto Repair Shop Software!!!" October 20, 2014 5.0 We switched to Tabs Auto Biz from Invomax in June and it's been the best investment ever!

(Troy is Awesome!!!!) I highly recommend this software for your business, you will not regret the investment. Review Source GH George H. Manager Used the software for: ### "Best inventory system on the market." August 16, 2010 5.0 I recommend this system to all auto service shops and tire dealers. This system is the best for all your tire and auto service needs. Pros This program is very easy to learn and use. If your looking for a system that does almost anything from managing sales & customers, keeping inventory and also online inventory if your a wholesaler then this is is your system. Cons Honestly we have had this system for over 4 years and I haven't found any cons yet. Review Source DD DEBRA D. VP Used the software for: ### "TABS Autobiz is a great tool for small businesses" June 23, 2011 5.0 I would recommend TABS Autobiz to any small business repair/tire shop Pros The software is very easy to work with even for individuals that are not computer whizs. The support staff has always been very courteous and helpful when I have called with various questions, which in the beginning, was quite frequent. I still have support questions and have always been assisted promptly and successfully. Cons none at this time Review Source SD Steve D. Owner Used the software for: ### "Easy to use for new buisness owner, large or small !" August 21, 2012 5.0 Would recommend to any auto shop large or small! Pros Very fast install with good online intro to using the software. Was up and running in one session and using the program the next day. Extensive features make this a very flexible system to use. Cons A written users guide would help to explain what features should be used when and the best way to utilize the many reports that this program can produce. Review Source LK LaVerne K. Office Manager Used the software for: ### "Great Software" February 26, 2014 5.0 I have worked with this software since June 2013 when our company switched over. Thanks to a lot of work with Troy & Shawn we finally went live the beginning of August. I won't say that there haven't been some glitches, but overall the software is very easy to use & very adaptable to our needs. Troy is very good at taking the time to understand my questions (and they are not always very clear) & finding answers for me or helping to repair issues that come up due to the conversion. Review Source TM Tom M. Owner Used the software for: ### "AUto Biz software" August 12, 2010 5.0 My absolute recommendation; no hesitation whatsoever! Pros Extremely user friendly, would recommend this program to any shop, large or small. The Tech support is like none I have ever experienced. Their support people are not in some foreign country, where you need an interpreter to communicate. The support is second to none. Cons Initial layout of cash Review Source Talk to a Capterra advisor for free and get results within 15 minutes.
