Monthly's will cripple your efforts during the dry months, some will even say free download! but they still come with a monthly fee (eventually).
Locating a viable alternative can be an exhausting endeavor, we designed a workbook using simple spread sheet layout that can carry you through the lean times. When your shops volume increases to a point you can handle large monthly payments, you will be ready to make the transition to Collision Estimating Software.
Ours is available as an instant download and we make a labor rate calculator for only $10.00, combine the 2 and you're in a good position.
We found it simple to use, easy to manage and your customers will love the look of their computer printed estimate. The spread sheet workbook can be run from any computer with Excel installed (recommended) but can be used with any spreadsheet application if you have a little experience (or know someone) to modify the file for your use. My teenage son can do it...

Just remember never purchase Audatex ADP. They will rip you off. They have you sign 3 year agreements with automatic renewals. If you already hav a ADP contract send in a cancel letter. Tell them not to automatic renew you but rather contact you 90 dates before you contract end date. At that point do what large companies do. Shop for the best deal. Call CCC, Mitchell, and Audatex and take the lowest offer. Don't let them fool you they all use the same Motors database. It is all about he lowest price. CCC has the best Customer service, Audatex has the worst.
