The replies we get are very simple to understand and not in computer speak.’ Tracy adds ‘I have been here the longest, but any one of our staff members can call the team and get the same reply from them, and that’s invaluable when you’re in a really busy situation or desperate for something to work.’
Tracy also recognises how important MAM Software and Autowork Online have been in the success of Grooms Garage. ‘It feels like a partnership, we wouldn’t have been here without the assistance of MAM, certainly.’ In conclusion Tracy summarised ‘Parts suppliers may come and go, customers may change, but MAM is an absolute mainstay and we’re very grateful for that.’
