Version 9.33.23 has been released and will auto update to your computers.  Our clients have been busy with multiple suggestions to improve your experience with new features, new access to features from different locations, and even a few fixes.  If you want to know what is added in each version, just look at the Update Notes found under the Help menu.

Several times we have asked shops to send us a review of ASW and some shop photos for our website.  You can see how these are being used at www.AutoShopWriter.com .  Each shop will receive its own page and these will be expanded to provide links back to your own primary website.  Why ?  Because that improves your ranking on the search engines and may bring you more business. 

We have also asked for input on a new feature we are adding.  We have been asked to build a service inspection checklist that can be printed and provided to a client  after the service.  This is especially usefull since the release of Windows tablets.  The tech can simply check off the features on the tablet, or at the workstation, and the report can be printed.  We want your input on what should be added to the report.  You will have individual flexibility on this.  Why is it important ?  Because this type of report will improve your income.

You may have noticed a major change in the ASW website.  Keep an eye out for an announcement about new ASW websites.

Thanks for reading.

Our office will be closed Friday, August 9 through Monday August 19 ! 

Will you be without support ?  Of course not.  Please send your support requests to Support@MasterLinkSoftware.com.  Our email will be monitored, and we will respond, throughout that period of time.

Our voicemail system during that time will transcribe your message and send it to us by email.  However, the service is pretty poor, so you will want to speak slowly and distinctly.  Again, your best recourse is email !

If you have issues, and have delayed in reporting them, DO IT NOW !  This is your best time to get help ! 99% of the calls we get when we are out of the office are on issues that should have been handled earlier ( ie. a system hadn’t updated for 3 months … )

We hope your summer is going well.  Our current version is 9.33.11, and the next update will NOT be posted until after August 20th.
