We have been using this in our shop for several months as per recommendation from another shop owner. My techs like it as a great deal of the information they need is on the first page when they pull a vehicle up. They are still not ready to get rid of alldata. I really think it's because they are so used to using alldata. I think if I was to turn alldata off that they might whine for a bit but would learn to use Motologic even better and it is a cost savings over my current alldata plan. MotoLogic has or had a 3 month trial for $49 a month for several users. I would recommend you have them do a web demo and then try it. We are running it on i-pad minis, and chrome netbooks in every stall as well as on desktops with no issues whatsoever.

we tried motologic in hopes of switching, they have a long way to go. They are missing a ton of information. We found things like, looking for a knock sensor on a 4 cylinder car and it gave it for a 6 clyinder and where can you input the engine size? Dodge truck info missing and many others, i stopped writing them down. Motologics response was, we have that missing info but you have to call us to get it?? Said it was something due to licensing.

 

We run 350 to 400 cars a month and if we have to stop and call to get information its not worth it to us, wasted time waiting for information that should already be there. Mitchell had all of the missing information that motologic was lacking. We are staying with Mitchell.

      Most shop owners would agree that the independent auto repair industry has been too cheap for too long regarding its pricing and labor rates. However, can we keep raising our labor rates and prices until we achieve the profit we desire and need? Is it that simple?
      The first step in achieving your required gross and net profit is understanding your numbers and establishing the correct labor and part margins. The next step is to find your business's inefficiencies that impact high production levels.
      Here are a few things to consider. First, do you have the workflow processes in place that is conducive to high production? What about your shop layout? Do you have all the right tools and equipment? Do you have a continuous training program in place? Are technicians waiting to use a particular scanner or waiting to access information from the shop's workstation computer?
      And lastly, are all the estimates written correctly? Is the labor correct for each job? Are you allowing extra time for rust, older vehicles, labor jobs with no parts included, and the fact that many published labor times are wrong? Let's not forget that perhaps the most significant labor loss is not charging enough labor time for testing, electrical work, and other complicated repairs.  
      Once you have determined the correct labor rate and pricing, review your entire operation. Then, tighten up on all those labor leaks and inefficiencies. Improving production and paying close attention to the labor on each job will add much-needed dollars to your bottom line.

      Today, we simply cannot ignore social media, everyone is using it whether you are a fan or not. Personally, I think it has its negative and positive sides. 
      I have been looking at 100+ car repair shops and noticed that only a hand full are using social media marketing, for example, Facebook advertising. 
      Why are so few car repair shops making use of this, in my opinion, great opportunity to increase car count?
