GM and Ford EPC

[robmarshmill]

Just wondering what everyone uses for EPC for GM and Ford. We are a Ford and Gm dealership and looking at getting a different EPC possibly for both and just looking for everyone's opinion on what the best one is for the price. TIA

HAVE USED BELL & HOWELL (SNAP ON) MOST OF MY CARREER. MICRO CAT CATALOG FOR ABOUT A YEAR. MICRO CAT IN 06 SUCKED AND I SWITCHED BOTH OF OUR STORES TO SNAP ON CATALOGS. AFTER THAT I THINK THE MICROCAT CATALOG PEOPLE WENT TO WORK FOR SNAP ON. MICROCAT KWERKS WERE IN THE SNAP ON CATALOGS AROUND 2010. NO REAL PROBLEMS WITH SNAP ON CATALOGS. MAKE SURE THEY DONT RAPE YOU. THEY WILL IF YOU DONT WATCH THEM. THEY HAVE A STANDARD PRICE THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO BE SELLING TO GM DEALERS

We have been looking into using Ecat and currently have a trial on it to see if we like it. We currently use snap on for our Ford and GM catalogs. Just kind of looking to see what opinions are on Ecat or even Microcat to see if its worth switching or just staying with what we have. Snap on is okay to use but management wants us to see if there is anything cheaper that we like.

ECAT? CAN YOU TELL ME MORE ABOUT? MAYBE I'LL SWITCH

[robmarshmill]

We tried Ecat for a couple of days and didn’t really like it. We got a trial for microcat and we all seems to like that one the best. We were also told that Ecat is made more for Ford Europe so it doesn’t really work very well in the U.S. We wouldn’t recommend Ecat though, to many things that cost you a lot of time.

snap on is your only choice for GM

Found that out. Did some pricing on all of them and noticed that the GM snap on catalog is about $150 a month more expensive than the ford Snap on catalog.
