Motor Shop Software

As with any business, computer technology is now allowing motor shops to reorganize and simplify their clerical tasks so that they now spend less time on paperwork and have more time for car repairs and services.

Software can save money and time, and therefore increase a motor shop's results and performance.

Time Saving

Simple car service software permits the input and storage of information about every client that the shop deals with. When a client goes back to the shop for their next service or car check up, this information will be stored for instant and easy access and referrals on services done. The software automatically adds in the clients name and other data to billing statements and orders so that there is no need to write the same data “over and over again”.

Software can help with pricing and estimates. Once the problem has been identified and entered into the motor software's “work order” configuration, it can supply information on the time required to finish the work as well as make an estimate of cost for the service basing it on the repair shop's previous work history and records.
The software can also look up the prices of parts and then calculate profit margins with just one click.

Money Saving

Motor shop service software saves money by saving time on paperwork. Instead of doing paperwork the employees can spend the time on doing car servicing.

If an employee can get on with their work without having to spend time on clerical tasks they should be able to work faster and get more doneeach day. Even if a clerical task only takes just five minutes, it often disrupts the employees work “rhythm” and performance. It is when individuals are permitted to carry on uninterrupted that they get a better work “flow” and accomplish work faster.

Automotive software can usually do the following:

1. Should be easily configured by the user, to construct his own maintenance and work requirements for every vehicle that is in his shop or to revise pre-existing service requirements.

2. Maintain record of vehicle maintenance and repair for each car, such as parts, costs, pricing etc.

3. Advanced and complex algorithm to calculate when repairs or maintenance are due and reminds the shop owner.

4. Suppliy maintenance recommendation for each vehicle requirement and condition.

5. Car parts are automatically listed on work shedules and orders, and compile an individual record of all car parts that are used on vehicles that have been serviced.

6. Supplies a detailed and complete summary cost analysis for serviced vehicles (- cost/day - cost/mile - operating costs - investment value - accumulated costs).

7. Includes loan, purchasing and Insurance reports for each car.

8. Set reminders and alarms for car maintenance scheduled, repairs and inspections.

9. Graphically presents cost results analysis.

10. Predicts and tracks fuel usage then compares the actual versus the predicted.

Motor Shop software will cut costs. Inexpensive and user friendly, even inexperienced users should be able to manage it. Automotive software is a cost-effective tool that should produce beneficial results, improve efficiency, cut costs, improve customer service, improve profitability whether used in a small or large motor repair shop.
