    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.

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.

    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.

    Great Tool to Increase Customer Understanding

    Date: Mar 30 2023
    Summary

    Autoflow is generally reliable and easy to use. Customers find the DVIs to be clear and easy to understand.

    Positive

    Autoflow provides a great platform for communication with our customers in a manner that allows greater understanding of the needs of the vehicle. It offers a way for us to be transparent with our customers about the needs of their vehicles.

    Negative

    Autoflow customer data seems to be based on phone numbers which makes it difficult to separate a customer's personal and business vehicles when they use the same phone number for both.

    Autoflow for Your Shop

    Updated: 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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Date: Mar 29 2023
    Summary

    There are quite a few similar systems that claim to do what Auto Text Me does, but we are very happy we went with this system.

    Positive

    We receive very valuable feedback from our customers. Our google reviews have also increased with the use of this system.

    Negative

    That the system doesn’t find the 10 and apply it to surveys.

    Positive

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

    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
