Autoflow, a cloud-based tool, provides digital service solutions to your clients, technicians, and service writers every step of the journey to modernize your shop. Shops can use Calendar to manage and monitor their operations more effectively. Your schedule and tasks can be viewed in a day, week or month format. Kiosk allows shops to attach the scheduler on their website so customers can schedule appointments. This will be directly integrated into autotext.me. Customers can also use the Kiosk/Scheduler to check-in at their shop and avoid the queues and wait for a service advisor. Simplicity is key. Our UI makes it simple for technicians to use our software on their smartphones, tablets, and desktops.

    Transparent client facing inspections

    Date: Dec 08 2023

    Summary: We have been using digital inspections for some time, we started with different companies, which had unstable servers and repeated downtime, with little communication; this made it challenging. Once we switched to Autoflow we had minimal-momentary interruptions; if something was a miss the support team were on-it and quick to respond with a resolution.

    Positive: Seamless integration into our operating system. Solid responsive support. Forward thinking and ever improving.

    Negative: The program does have some learning curves to it, as they all do, however, support is available and willing.
    I would prefer that not all "red" marked items went to the "rainy day folder", only because we don't need to remind people about the scratches on their vehicle we noted if we were to use the "reminder" feature.

    Number One in Auto Shop WorkFlow. Free Yourself from AutoVitals!

    Date: Jun 23 2023

    Summary: Amazing!

    Craig came from AutoVitals and is absolutely an Epic team member. It truly is magical. The support is amazing. The system is FAST.

    Positive: Everything + the people.

    LIGHTNING FAST!

    They don't approve feature requests until they are tested!

    Free yourself from the garbage you are currently using.

    Negative: They don't make their own SMS or I would sign up!!!

    I really cannot think of any, honestly.

    Admin cannot change another person's profile image.

    Pictures are worth a thousand .... dollars!!

    Date: Apr 01 2023

    Summary: Overall the best inspection/ documentation tool we use. Easily adapted to allow for a very general inspection or a very pin-pointed one.

    Positive: being able to link pictures and videos is a priceless selling tool. Customers rave about this feature all the time.

    Negative: having to archive old formats is not convenient - be sure to update while the program is not in use or you'll erase any open dvis

    Franchise Owner

    Date: Mar 30 2023

    Summary: Backbone of our guest experience. Very impressed with the product and the DEV team is improving constantly.

    Positive: Great communication tool with customers. I get incredible reviews from all of my customers. I just started with the marketing tool and excited about the possibilities. Customer service with the company is fantastic. They always answer the phone and typically set up a same day zoom call to resolve any issues.

    Negative: Make sure you understand exactly when customers will get texts, you can send too much. This is easily avoidable.

    We noticed many smiles on faces over here to read you think our customer service is fantastic. Your encouragement goes along ways, thanks for writing that! Also, you bring up a great point... we're working hard on advancing our reporting capacity so it is easier to see how many texts are being sent through automated workflows.

    Boom Boom Pow

    Date: Mar 30 2023

    Summary: Overall I love it, just needs to be a bit cleaner when trying to gauge the status of customers' vehicles.

    Positive: I like the ability to perform DVI's, text back and forth to the customer and pull historical data. The ability to take phots and videos of issues customers have commented about that they love it.

    Negative: The screen view is too busy and messy. i would like to be able to get a snap shot of where we are on vehicles within a spilt second, vs having to navigate and filter the screen.

    Thanks for sharing your pros and cons. Pictures are worth a thousand words, right? Speaking of right... you are right, the balance of features and too many options is tough, and we don't always hit the mark. We'd love to hear your specific feature requests on how we can help reduce the clutter for you.

    Autoflow for Your Shop

    Edited: Mar 30 2023

    Summary: Very good. The more you use it the better it seems to help. Keep up the training webinars! Over all we are very satisfied with Autoflow.

    Positive: Features, design and support are top notch. Multiple design layouts you can customize to your needs or taste. Many features we are still learning to use.

    Negative: A little "wonky" to use at first. Seems a bit cumbersome from time to time. However, they are constantly working to improve and upgrade at a good pace. Slow to load and respond some times. That could be our internet though. a bit more training BEFORE we switched software wounds have been nice.

    Autoflow makes my job a breeze

    Date: Mar 30 2023

    Summary: Autoflow has helped improve the trust and overall guest experience. The many ways to communicate and educate a vehicle owner are endless. The webinars are short and to the point and very informational.

    Positive: The digital inspections that can be marked up and the visuals that can be added for guest knowledge helps build trust and really makes you stand out from other repair centers. The text feature makes communication with guests a breeze. The messaging feature helps with time management because you no longer have to walk back to the shop or pull a tech off of something just get a simple answer.

    Negative: The automated messages once a category is completed can cause some issues but not very often.

    Summary: Gamechanger for our business.

    Positive: Amazing to be able to show and prove what we see, as well as how we have dealt with issues with our repairs.

    Very professional looking

    Date: Mar 29 2023

    Summary: Absolutely love this program. The level of professionalism and value it gives our customers is awesome! Jobs practically sell themselves with this dvi. Techs can clearly see what jobs need to be done and retrieve past jobs as well.

    Positive: Easy to use and see where your tech is on jobs.
    Preformed annotations that can be added to pics with a short description.
    Automated maintenance reminders.
    Tech support is excellent and easy to reach when needed.

    Negative: Really the only con I have is that the DVI setup is a little tricky at first, But after watching a setup video a few times, it got a little easier.

    How you mentioned our DVI is difficult to set up, or at least tricky makes sense. Unlike some other entry-level digital inspections on the market, we've tried to give you enough options, so that none are missing. Of course in an effort to do this, you are right --- sometimes that can feel like an overload. We're thankful you took advantage of our extensive training and resources to jump the hurdle.
