The BOLT ON TECHNOLOGY team will be spending much of March on the road, traveling to several trade shows and hopefully meeting lots of independent auto repair shops and demonstrating our shop management software.

Following a trip to Kansas City for the Vision Hi-Tech Training and Expo, the BOLT ON TECHNOLOGY team will showcase its mobile technology software solutions at the ATI SuperConference, which is set for March 11-14 in Palm Springs, Calif. If you're attending, please be sure to stop by our table during the March 12 trade show to see live demonstrations of our shop management software and learn how to implement best practices into your shop's daily routines.

The following week, from March 20-21, we'll be exhibiting at the Automotive Training Expo at booths 59 and 60.

Why you should make time to see us

Hundreds of shops are saving 10 to 15 minutes per customer through the use of VIN and license plate decoding, canned tech notes and more as part of Mobile Manager Pro, a fully wireless digital inspection tool and auto maintenance software add-on. Incorporating mobile technology with text messaging capabilities, among various other functions, has helped shops boost average repair orders by 45 to 75% – and higher in many instances.

Our other leading mobile shop management solution, Welcome Station, is the first-ever service upgrading kiosk developed specifically for the auto repair industry. It is similar in functionality to kiosks in use at airports, grocery and convenience stores and cropping up in restaurant chains.

The tablet-powered tool is helping shops save time at the front counter and makes up-selling easier by empowering customers to check themselves in, update their contact and vehicle information and choose services they wish to have performed.
