It started out as aftermarket accessories and snowplows and transitioned into general repair. We still offer those services but my focus is on general repair. 

Nice! Best of luck to you with your new business!

@CAR_AutoReports you’ve really done a nice job posting about your software, updates and enhancements. 👍

Congratulations and welcome to ASO! Was this a general repair shop before with all the plows and accessories or did you introduce that? 

@Mail Shark I added the coupon image into your post since PDFs do not embed 😉

Topic title changed to "Looking for some input into Advertising" and moved to Marketing, Advertising, & Promoting forum. 😁

Ac in the shop

Its definitely hot out there! Are you asking about A/C options for your shop?

You can also take a look at @Elite Worldwide Inc., @Joe Marconi.

Found a great reason to re-energize this topic...

@WomenAutoKnow just syndicated your Interstate video series under my blog 😀 

On a side note, I know Ralph for years 😉 but was informed about this from your WAK newsletter, so Kudos to you and the rest of the crew on this!

@Dakotaj96 not sure if it helps but check out these topics:

We now have a nice tool available to all premium and platinum members under the tools menu, where you can view labor rates entered by our members on an easy to use map, similar to our member map. This is designed to give you an idea of where you are vs the market in your area. As you zoom in, the circle averages open up to more specific areas.

If you aren't currently a subscribed premium or platinum member, you can upgrade here.

@CAR_AutoReports Looks good, thanks for keeping everyone updated on new features of your SMS. Personally, I always feel there should be a way to export your data automatically as a backup locally or a secondary location like Amazon AWS or other, an account set up by the user where the software just dumps a data file in sql, csv, excel, or other non proprietary format.  Just gives a warm and fuzzy feeling to owning your data..😉

So if I use an SMS system, create my own Amazon AWS account, maybe the SMS has some sort of export/backup section where I enter my AWS, S3 details, bucket, etc. and automatically I get a file dump daily of my data. Just an idea.

@tyrguy you can take a look at our member map here: https://www.autoshopowner.com/membermap/  just zoom in to get closer in.

@JustTheBest I created this new topic from the post you made in my topic regarding posting your website. I'd like to keep that topic central to members posting their websites and other members offering assistance. This is a good topic and your video is great, but in the future, please start a new topic. Thanks.

@NATURE I edited your topic title a bit, hopefully you'll get some responses from members who can help you out. 😉

@JimShelly I edited your topic title to be a little more specific to what you are asking. Hopefully you'll get some info from other members who have used or moved from bay-master. There are a few topics about bay-master on this forum: https://www.autoshopowner.com/search/?q=baymaster 😁

Our shop owner glossary of terms has been updated. This goes back many years from when we first started ASO. Thank you to @Joe Marconi for putting this together over  a decade ago. 😀

If you have any suggestions of terms to be added for reference, please post in this topic.

@BNC173 I edited your title a bit to be more descriptive and moved your topic to Credit Cards, Payments, Financing 😀
