Smart Auto Shop by BriBeck Technologies, LLC. has a very limited feature set.  They do not interface with any parts catalogs or labor guides.  There are no online parts ordering connections.  There is no general ledger and they do not interface with any accounting programs.

Furthermore, their web site has an unacceptable advertising claim:

“Any mechanical repair shop from auto repair to small engine repair (and everything in between) can benefit greatly from the use of Smart Auto Shop Management Software.”

Subjective claims of superiority based on personal opinions of intangible qualities or vendor pride should not be made. Any claim of superiority should be based on accepted standards and unbiased comparisons. Vendors must be able to substantiate any such claim.

Its an early exit for Smart Auto Shop by BriBeck Technologies.  It is eliminated in the initial screening round.
