Overview

ARI is shop-management software for auto repair and auto body shops. Create estimates that clients approve or decline online, turn them into job cards with technician assignments and time clocks, and invoice on completion. Manage clients, vehicles, parts and tire stock, appointments, service reminders, payments and reports from the web, Android, iOS or Windows. The free version is limited to 5 invoices, estimates, inspections, clients, vehicles and other items; paid plans remove that limit.
