Pros

GEM-CAR is a game-changer for automotive shop management. From seamless inventory tracking and customer management to efficient appointment scheduling, it's a comprehensive solution that's boosted my business's efficiency and customer satisfaction. Highly recommended!

Cons

GEM-CAR has transformed the shop's management. Its user-friendly interface and comprehensive features streamline operations impressively. Though occasional updates could be smoother, they reflect the team's dedication to improvement. Overall, an invaluable tool for any auto business.

I calculated the efficiency of my technicians manually. I save a lot of time with the electronic punch.

Pros

This software allows me to make an electronic turn in my business through inspections on the tablet, SMS, archiving photos and electronic signature.

Cons

I wish I could send photos or videos via SMS. Also, I would like to be able to link more than one code to another code to better automate and increase the speed of use.

Gem Car really cares about there job and about there software, and really makes us feel like we have a personal experience, even tho we are not that big of a company. The owner has even met with us personally, and has listened to alot of our improvement suggestions.

Pros

We love to use this software because it is loaded with features, at a reasonable cost. It checked off everything on our list and more for future expansion. They are the automotive specialists, and nobody has all the features Gem-Car has.

Cons

There is a learning curve to the software that everyone must go through, but they are there every step of the way.

About half of our Big O Tire locations in British Columbia are currently using GEM-CAR. The remainder are using a number of other software products. This gives me, as general manager of the organization, an excellent opportunity to compare the performance of the various software systems to each other. In almost every aspect GEM-CAR comes out on top. It's certainly the broadest repair shop management software available, but more importantly, it's designed to help the user to maximize the profitability of the business and improve the daily management. GEM-CAR quotes AC Delco "put simply it's the best shop tool you'll ever buy" and I think they're right. Our Big O Tire dealers love it, and wouldn't be without it. Easy to use......Canadian Product......Great support. I give it my full commendation...A giant thumbs up......

Pros

Easy to use.....Robust training program. Comprehensive system to run every element of your business

Cons

Size of Point of Sale window could be increased

Best investment!

Reviewed on 23/06/2021

Pros

I have been using Gemcar for 2 years and waited to see how it would preform before writing a review. The software is one of the best investments that I have made. Aside from being easy to use, very versatile and very stable it actually generates money. Gemcar allows you to streamline your workflow and increase your revenue. The software is always being updated with improvements based on feedback from its users.

Cons

The only feature that could be improved is the online FAQ module. It is difficult to find “how to”information online but this really isn’t a problem because the live support is very fast and efficient.

We really enjoy the software Gem-Car. It is really made to increase efficacity of our business. There is a lot to learn, but each little is giving an advantage.

Pros

We are using Gem-Car for only a month, so we are still getting use to it but we changed system because we knew it offers a lot more than the other software. We love the statistics we can do with all of the reports, it's really useful to increase our sales. The systeme is also really easy to use.

Cons

There is nothing that we dislike, but the only thing they could improve is one part of customer service. When we call because we have a question, I would rather wait on the line instead of leaving a message. But when we leave a message, they return the call really quickly.

We started using Gem Car 2 years ago for our automotive repair facility and car dealership. We chose Gem Car as it checked off all of the criteria we needed. It worked wonders from the time we started using it. We could schedule mechanics, barcode parts, trace back work orders, conduct proper inventory, and tie together all the aspects of automotive repair and part sales.
Our shop efficiency has increased, and so has our bottom line.
The support team is fabulous, and only a phone call away should we ever need them.
The trainers are thorough and trained us until we were comfortable going live with the software.
Cost wise Gem Car comes in more reasonably priced than most other software we looked at, making it the best deal for the most features!

Pros

Easy to use, lots of features

Cons

The interface is a little dated

After switching our shop over to GemCar we have finally been able to properly track sales and inventory. Our shop is not typical, so there were some complexities in setting up the software, but GemCar support was exceptional, and helped us out every step of the way. They are always a phone call away if we have a question or issue. The GemCar trainers also went above and beyond in helping familiarize us with the software and get it set up to optimize and streamline shop operations.
The barcoding system has helped us greatly increase inventory accuracy, and cuts down on tech time as they can easily scan all the parts they use. Parts quoting is easy and fast. Invoicing customers is painless. Generating sales and purchase reports is nearly 1 click.
GemCar has had a very positive impact our our business, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to every shop!
