Auto Repair Shop Management: How PIF PRO Builds Strong Customer Relationships with Auto Shop Software

The Profit Index Factor (PIF PRO) is used to determine the profitability of a job in real time.  What does this mean?  What is PIF PRO?  PIF PRO is an auto repair shop software that is specifically designed by auto shop owners for auto shop owners.  This program is completely accessible online, so there is no complicated installation to worry about.  Automotive shop owners and technicians use this software to generate detailed repair orders so that customers know exactly what is going into a repair cost.

Repair Orders (RO's) need to be more than a one line statement saying, "Transmission Overhaul" or "Engine Replacement."  A repair order needs to be detailed.  PIF PRO stands apart from other auto shop software because it is intuitive, easy to use, and uses beautiful pie charts and diagrams which show exactly where the money is being spent.  With a huge repair order such as rebuilding the engine or transmission, customers need to know where their money is going.  The PIF software accurately calculates the parts and allows the customers to view the projected bill in detail.  By using this auto repair software, customers understand why a bill costs what it does.  By giving them a complete repair order, the shop owners establishes strong trust with the customers, and a future partnership is built on a solid foundation of communication.

Being honest with customers is not the only important part in running a successful automotive business.  A shop owner has got to keep track of inventory as well.  There are certain parts that an auto repair shop should never run out of—such as filters and oil.  PIF PRO allows shop owners to set a minimum amount of inventory that should be in an auto repair shop.  By creating a Purchase Order through the software, any stock that is depleted will automatically be re-ordered.  PIF PRO is the leading internet based auto repair shop software that makes it easier for shop owners to stay on top of their inventory.  With an auto shop that is stocked and ready, the customers are never left waiting.

PIF PRO helps shop owners be the model of perfection among their competition.  Auto repair shops are equipped to manage and take care of their customers' cars, thus serving the communities in which they live.
