ARI introduces a new way for clients to pay for their auto repair services.

BLOCK ISLAND, RHODE ISLAND, UNITED STATES, July 27, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Auto repair shops can offer monthly payments at the touch of a tablet thanks to a new customer financing feature in Auto Repair Invoicing (ARI), a shop management app trusted by thousands of independent auto shops. To offer pay-over-time options, ARI partnered with Wisetack, a consumer financing company serving SMBs who deliver essential in-person services.

Auto shops that offer consumer financing often see ARO (average repair order) double and a 20% increase in business overall. With the integration, ARI shops can offer financing on estimates, invoices, and as a final payment option, all without leaving the app. Customers that opt to pay over time complete a short application on their personal mobile phone and can select from up to six monthly payment options, depending on their budget.

“Until now, the ability to offer customers a simple financing option has been out of reach for the small, independent shop owners we serve,” said Constantin C., manager at ARI. “With Wisetack, we’re giving them financing that’s integrated right into their ARI workflow. It’s also easy for their customer to apply and doesn’t have hidden fees. It’s a win-win for everyone.”

The ability to pay over time for essential repairs is evolving into a decision criteria for customers evaluating repair shops. Sixty-four million Americans can’t afford unexpected car repairs and 35% have skipped essential services, according to AAA research.

“Now ARI users can give their customers a way to afford the repairs they need, without the stress of paying for everything upfront,” said Bobby Tzekin, CEO and Co-Founder of Wisetack. “By offering this option, we’ve seen Wisetack help small businesses grow, and that’s something we’re proud of.”

In addition to financing, ARI’s app helps shops manage the full customer experience: setting appointments, work orders, invoicing, fleet management, parts inventory, forms, and payment processing.

ARI boasts high user ratings on Capterra, Sourceforge, and SoftwareSuggest, and earned a Top Auto Software award from GoodFirms. Wisetack has similar accolades with customers, with High Performer awards from G2 and a current NPS (net promoter score) of 78, compared to the industry average of 40.
