Tablet Recommendations for Paperless Repair Orders

[5 Star Auto Spa]

What tablet did you buy, or what table do you WISH you had purchased, to use with Bolt On Mobile Manager or AutoVitals? We are planning on going paperless and would like to get some recomendations on potential tablets to purchase.......

We are using Auto Vitals. I initially purchased Assus Tablets and thought they worked well. I replaced one tablet with an I-Pad 3 and the difference in the speed of the application was very noticeable. We have since replaced all with the I-pads, the only down side is no internal flash on the I-Pads when taking pictures. Check with whoever you are using for their recommendations.

We use bolt on, happy with their service.

MSPEC....what types of tablets are you using with Bolt On? Are you happy with the tablets or do you wish you had gotten a different brand/model of tablet?

We use bolt on. Definitely get a tablet that has built in camera flash for the techs. It makes a world of difference (don't try to use a flashlight. It will look like crap and is difficult to hold both at the same time and take a pic).

 

We bought a Samsung 8.4 and a Nexus 9. The Nexus 9 takes better pictures. We use Gumdrop cases. Not cheap at all, but virtually indestructable

galaxy note, upgraded from nexus 7's. Samsung Galaxy notes are top of the line android tablets and we love them.

We use Autovitals and bought ipad minis from the Apple refurb site and Gazelle. We put cases on them and surprisingly, have not had one break or fail.
