The tracking system inside of it is amazing and can’t be tampered with. > > **Cons**: I can’t get my own card processor to integrate because Shop-ware won’t let them. It is web based and doesn’t have everything I want but it’s a great tool for my shop. It does beat tech-metric. > > Fairly easy to use. Communicating with customers is super easy getting repair orders approved is amazing.Tech Support is on point. ----- ### "Love Shop-Ware\!\!" — 5.0/5 > **Casey** | *April 22, 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Shop-Ware is the easiest system to navigate. From estimating to sending customers invoices- it makes everything such a breeze. > > **Cons**: There is not a "set alone" button for estimating when customers call over the phone looking for a price- you have to enter ina name everytime just to look up labor to give someone. ----- ### "Very powerful tool for Auto Shop management" — 5.0/5 > **Ahmed** | *March 21, 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: Shop ware's interface and automation makes managing orders and customer's communication really, REALLY easy.

Managing customer's communications and issues and orders is very easy and simple to do with Shop-ware ----- ### "Very good automotive shop program." — 4.0/5 > **Annie** | *June 30, 2025* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The program is easy to learn and easy to use for technicians and service writers, as well as bookkeepers. The programs helps us communicate with transparency and efficiently with our customers. > > **Cons**: There are many days of lagging and the program not working, many many more days lately than when we signed on a few years ago > > It is still easy to use, a few features that seem necessary to our shop and have been sent off to programming? or design? have never been addressed. Although, customer service is still fast and friendly to work with \& they do help our whenever they can. It's very nice the program is cloud based so accessing shop info can be done off-site. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/153469/shop-ware?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/153469/shop-ware) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
