Automotive Service Industry Management Software

MasterLink Software was formed in the fall of 1982 as owners and managers from independent repair centers met with our founder to share the technology needs of their industry.

The Auto Shop Writer design was based 100% on their input.At trade shows following its debut, the most repeated comment our staff received was "Now this works just like how I run my business"

The philosophy of MasterLink Software has always been to match emerging technologies with the real world, and to provide software that follows how successful companies operate, without requiring them to modify their business practices and principles !
