### "Great data tracking, and point of sale program"

March 29, 2018

4.0

Helped me gather and retain much more customer and vehicle information than I previously had. Much easier to search back through past services and repairs.

Pros

I like the options and functionality it offers. I need to go through more training to learn how to use the rest of it, but what I've used so far is great.

Cons

Occasionally changes pricing if I've adjusted it on a work order. So I invoice it out and have to go back and change it to what I had previously quoted.

### "Benefits of NAPA TRACS"

August 15, 2024

5.0

I really like Napa TRACS. Anytime i need to access invoices or estimates i can simply hook up to my laptop and move forward. I didn't need to buy any special electronics to utilize the product. Being able to let the consumer see how professional and sophisticated the software looked was a huge bonus and made my store even more appealing.

Pros

Being able to look up VIN's and license plate numbers really help in accurately identifying a vehicle.

Cons

Some small glitches may occur, so you need to check your invoices before you finalize anything. Really not that big an issue, since you should be double checking anyways.

Reason for choosing NAPA TRACS

When i visited the websites, it looked like AutoLeap was more concerned with dissuading people from using NAPA TRACS than they were about meeting our needs. NAPA TRACS clearly showed how they could help us from the beginning.

### "Mixed"

May 26, 2022

3.0

We have used TRACS since it was DOS based. We have seen a lot of bad features come and go, as well as the good. It is easy to use for the most part but can be a little daunting for a service writer in a hurry.

Pros

Inventory management is very useful and easy to use. We love that Repair Link and ProDemand links are now part of the screen. Being able to undo an invoice is a great add as well. Calling TRACS Support is always a great experience. Some of them even call back to make sure you're getting along ok!

Cons

Repair orders and invoicing needs a lot of work. If you have more than five items in your repair order, good luck maneuvering around. Switching over to the profitability screen or technician screen gives you a much easier view. However, they have taken away the ability to drag items around in these screens. There are also way too many columns in each of these two screens. Please bring back spell check!

### "Awesome Software"

May 26, 2022

5.0

I really enjoy the ease of use with the program.

Pros

My favorite feature about this software is the profitability worksheet. It clearly shows me what I set me goals to be and if we meet them.

Cons

The part I liked least is not being able to change the Invoice date. It is needed randomly and would be a useful feature.

Reason for choosing NAPA TRACS

Can't remember the name, it came down to customer service and knowing that I was going to be taken care of by the Tracs team.

Cost and Features. I was not getting the same benefit from Fullbay that I do from Tracs. I had been with Fullbay for the Inventory features and realized that Tracs are more suited for what we do here in our shop. Plus the price for Tracs and features they have are way more valuable to me.

5.0

Wonderful

Pros

I like the conveinence the service, and the simplicity of it!

Cons

Not ideal to what is being used now. Napa Tracs makes more sense

Reason for choosing NAPA TRACS

The way they take care of their customer from the napa store to napa tracs to corporate. The family environment it brings to my already family-owned business.

### "Love Napa Tracs and the support behind their product is amazing! "

June 6, 2022

4.0

My work orders and invoices look more modern, professional. We are able to search not only NAPA but all parts vendors on one screen and see their availability. I am able to run many reports and have help customizing to my shop . All the way from the TRACS rep, conversion team, daily access to the National Trainer and the support hotline, no other company offers that support. I have an amazing team behind me. Well done NAPA and NAPA TRACS!

Pros

It is up to date, user friendly, invoices and work order look professional with my customers, integrates well with many other software/products. As Tracs users, we have access to the National Trainer, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]DAILY (Mon-Fri). Also the support team behind Tracs is very knowledgeable and helpful. They are awesome. We used Mitchel 1 for 20 years and I am so happy we switched to Napa TRACS!

Cons

I have asked for some features with Accounts Receivable. I have been told they are working on those and it will be in an update soon. The best part is if you work with the National Trainer which to my knowledge no others have to offer, they listen, will help in anyway they can and they work to improve their product constantly!

Reason for choosing NAPA TRACS

The service, support and access to the National Trainer on a DAILY basis who can help you navigate any issue and work to customize specifically to your shop. No one else offers the support they have! We are able to search all parts stores for availability on one screen.

### "Upgrade"

June 1, 2022

4.0

I like the system but the service techs don't like the invoicing process as well because we really don't have canned jobs. So if there is something has to be done and you know stuff goes with it . It does not add you have to search for it.

Pros

I like a lot of the future possibilities.

Cons

tracking the history is a different process.

Reason for choosing NAPA TRACS

Pricing and more possibilities.

### "Be careful"

July 13, 2019

4.0

The base program is great-lots of changes from legacy to enterprise-some good some not-many useful features from legacy not in enterprise-NAPA doesn't seem to be interested in suggestions from users-would recommend test driving before buying

Pros

works pretty good to do daily repair orders-has some very nice features to run my business-help desk has some of the best people ever-they know the product-usually get things done properly and quickly so you can carry on

Cons

For over 8 years I have been promised that "soon Tracs will allow industry wide ordering that works well" Not true! Unless you order 99% of your parts from NAPA you will not be happy. Every time I contact Tracs to find out when there will be a fix I'm given another excuse-in their defense I am using the software at no charge right now but I would much rather pay them and have the product they promised to deliver.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing NAPA TRACS

As stated-I was told it would work with other vendors-turns out it's very poor at that function, but I'm an old guy and it's hard to change once familiar with a system

### "Training is Required"

February 4, 2025

4.0

Once you figure out the system and know how to find parts with partial part numbers or by a single word description it was much easier to use.

Pros

A simple screen layout makes it easy to navigate through the system to access information.

Cons

It is very hard to search unless you know the exact part number or unit number. It is very important to change the search options to match what is being entered, like the fleet number instead of invoice number.

### "Love Napa Tracs "

May 25, 2022

4.0

Finding warranties , old notes - the way it keeps track of vehicle history has been a huge blessing as opposed to going through papers in the cabinet, also it saving where the part came from. Its the best.

Pros

Ease of use is my favorite thing about it, though I would change 1-2 things if I could. Item history has got to be my favorite tab, also I love the convenance of transferring parts directly to the work order from Napa pro-link or parts tech.

Cons

I miss the freedom we had to enter something as simple as : Dump trailer , gooseneck trailer on the pre- 3.0 version of tracs , though it did still require a year to be entered in which I usually noted 0 year, but also sometimes the customer thinks it unimportant to provide info in which case I used to enter 0 year and Unknown Vehicle into the vehicle info.

We are napa car care, the owners love for Napa goes back to his Father working as a Napa Salesmen

### "Highly Recommend"

April 25, 2022

5.0

We have been using them for a long time and they are constantly updating and keeping up with the times. The support is great and have always been able to help me with whatever I need.

Pros

It is very user friendly. We recently switched to Enterprise so we can easily order from Napa, Advance, Worldpac, etc.

Cons

I do not like the coloring on the screen. I liked to be able to easily see when parts were following the pricing rules. I also do not like how the appointment screen looks. It would be nice to be able to see a preview of what the ro is for. I also hate that the RO numbers do not come up when you order from anyone except Napa. Instead it puts a generic purchase order number and you have to guess what the part is for when it gets here.

### "Workhorse Software with a broad range"

August 28, 2021

4.0

Our shop has used three other major competitor software systems. We are a NAPA Auto Care Center and after a ton of problems with catalog integration in a major cloud based competitor we switched to Tracs Enterprise. We have Integrated AutoVitals with text to pay features and did not miss a step.

Pros

As the title states TRACS is an application that will do heavy lifting for organizations of any size. The set of features and capabilities exceeds my ability to master them. I do know that when and if we need to extend the software or add a capability its likely a phone call or two away. The support folks screen share and work through issues very well.

Cons

I will welcome when TRACS moves to the cloud. The ability to login from the road and work up a quote or run reports is hampered by the server based application. Its not impossible but requires a 3rd party applications. We would also prefer to have more control over the appearance of invoices and estimates to create an updated look.

### "User Friendly Software"

June 1, 2022

4.0

We have been using Tracs for a few years now and there are additions/changes that need to be implemented, however we have been able to make it work for our business. We would like to see improvements made to the accounting/reporting side of things in the future.

Pros

The software for the most part is very user friendly for people of all skill levels.

Cons

There could be improvements on the back end of things as for reporting and some additional key accounting pieces that should be in place. Definitely geared towards a Mechanical type of business versus an Auto Restoration business that does both mechanical and auto body repairs.

Pros

### "Awesome shop management system. "

May 24, 2022

5.0

Pros

The ability to import parts from vendors other then Napa including Dealers is a great feature. Having all of my pervious repair order in one place that is easy to search is also great.

Cons

I would like the see the ability to set an item as bulk to save time on inventory. When I order bulk oil from Napa I have to order outside of tracs then manually enter the quantity. If I order the oil through tracs it will show that the bulk item's part number has 1 on hand with a total price for say 55 gallons. If you enter that number on a customer repair order it will sell them all 55 gallons when they only need 5-6 quart. I would be nice to tell the software that such and such a part number is a bulk item and to sell it by the quart and have the software calculate the price per quart from the total.

I got a better price being an Napa Auto Care Member
