AUTOMOTIVE MECHANICAL WORKSHOP
MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE REVIEWS
We have discovered that it can be a mine field out there! There are so many
programs with various features and options some costing up to around
$20,000.
Unfortunately the price tag does not always reflect the quality of the
program.
So far we have found no program that is really easy to use (idiot proof) and
there does not appear to be anything as intuitive as mobile phone software
especially something like an I-Phone.
We would like to see something that is so easy to use that anyone with
basic computer knowledge could sit down in front of it and start using it
straight away and able to have it all figured out after a couple of hours of
usage.
Unfortunately there is nothing that we can find out there so far, many make
promises but so far we have seen none that deliver!
OUR MISSION
It's very simple, within this site we will review and discus the pros &
cons of various software related to the Automotive and Machinery repair
industry in Australia.
We would like to set a challenge! If you have software that you think fills
this void, whether you have created it or by chance you have found
something that fits the bill please let us know so we can test and review it.
Below is a sample of some companies that claim they have the answer,
what do you think?

Not exactly tailored to workshops, but quite effective and reasonably priced.

Don't get ripped off!
There are so many high pressure salesmen out there and they always say
that their software is perfectly suited to your business and that it will save
heaps of money and time, but before you know whats happening you have
some over complicated program that you can't use and you are being told
that is you and not them and that's assuming you can actually talk to
someone that can help you and even then you will find it will cost extra every
time you make contact with them.
Warning- Don't get caught out!!
You must find a real business using the software you are considering and
go and see how it works first hand before you agree to hand over any
money or sign anything.
Don't Sign anything!
If the software company can not give you a free trail version of the software
for you to use and test in your own time, then do not sign anything or hand
over any money. If they can't give you a free working trial then do not
consider their software.
Most Accounting software is not set up to suit mechanics
Or machinery sales and service workshops, there are actually none that we
have been able to find.
Normally software does not come with free support as in
someone on the other end of the phone to help you make it work, you will
generally be asked to pay extra on top of the cost of the software for that
privilege.
Make sure your free trial is actually a free trial
many companies are keen to suck you in with a promise of a free trial with
no intention of really giving you one. Just high pressure sales pitches.
