    ___2__ Other : We use Mitchell management. Would like to see on the monthly picture of the schedule an additional box at the bottom for planning. (this would include notes about closure due to natural disaster, snow, and the like) A place to note if we had any specific events such as car care seminar, open house, etc. Maybe even a spot for a quick look at promos run that month and a spot to identify which ones worked well. This would not be all inclusive, but somewhere to have quick reference when looking into the future.

    One thing Id like to see ( Im using Automotive Expert) is parts pricing for various categories (ie tires, batteries oil etc.  Currently the software only allows you to set up a pricing matrix based on cost. Since most of what I sell I get JIT, and dont stock, this would be a great feature to have
