What it is
Auto Repair Manager (ARM) is shop management software for auto repair, tire, quick lube, and full-service businesses. It runs in a web browser on PCs, Macs, tablets, and phones, and supports multi-location shop groups. The All-In-One Plan costs $325 a month, billed month to month without annual prepayment. It includes unlimited users and workstations, along with unlimited invoices, estimates, inspections, and media uploads.
Shops can create estimates, convert them into invoices, and send those documents to customers by text or email. Digital vehicle inspections can include photos and be sent to a customer’s phone. Inventory features cover FIFO stock tracking, reorder alerts, vendor credit tracking, and cost-of-goods reporting. Fleet tools support multi-vehicle tracking, consolidated billing, and fleet-specific pricing. Other listed capabilities include work order management, estimate approvals, technician time tracking, and vehicle history.
ARM lists integrations with CARFAX, Motor Information Systems, PartsTech, QuickBooks Online, Kukui, AutoOps, Cinch, Throttle, DripDrop, MyFleetCenter, Dynamsoft, and PlateRecognizer. The maker describes ARM as cloud-based and says it uses encryption, role-based access controls, daily backups, and redundant servers. Support includes phone and email assistance, onboarding, training, data migration, and setup; prospective customers can request a personalized live demo using their shop data.
Who it suits. ARM suits auto repair, tire, quick lube, and full-service shops that need estimates, invoices, inspections, inventory, and work order tools in one system. Its fleet features and multi-location support also suit businesses managing multiple vehicles or shop locations.
