Auto Shop Writer

Hi all,

 

We've been working on Masterlink's Auto Shop Writer for years and we're wondering if we want to keep working with them. Are there any opinions about that software? If you're familiar with it, are there other programs that work better?

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks,

Well...

 

It's temperamental. There is limited customer support. Poor data boxes, hard to input information.

I've owned Autoshop Writer since 1993. It was pretty good then. But when Y2K hit we bought the windows upgrade & Y2k fix. About 2 grand. The salesman Tom told us to wait a few months before calling for it because they still had "a few bugs to work out" . After being told the same thing and waiting patiently we finally asked if we could get what we paid for. Tom no longer worked for the company so we had to call "Tim" the owner. He told me that he had sent out postcards to the people that had paid for it and we never replied back so tough shit! He had done many "upgrades to the system and we would have to pay several hundred dollars to get any type of upgrade. I refused to give him any more money so I never got what I paid for, Be careful!
