Auto adding tire fees in ARI (Auto Repair Software)

Stop Leaving “Tire Money” on the Table

If your shop does tire work, you know the drill. Every swap means manually clicking through to add levy and disposal fees. It’s tedious, it’s easy to forget, and—let’s be honest—when the shop is busy, those fees are the first things to slip through the cracks.

Here’s the math: A shop replacing just 20 tires a week at $3 per tire is leaving $600+ per month on the table if those charges are missed.

We just made sure you never miss another cent.

How it Works: One Tap, Zero Headaches

We’ve automated the “tire fee” friction. Now, when you pull tires from your inventory into an invoice, ARI is one step ahead of you.

  1. Select your tires from your Inventory.
  2. The Tire Fees prompt automatically pops up.
  3. Tap “Apply,” and you’re done.

The quantity automatically matches the number of tires you’re adding. No more manual calculations, no more forgotten line items.

Set It and Forget It

Every shop is different, and local regulations vary. That’s why the prompt is fully customizable. You can edit:

  • Fee Names: Match your local terminology (Levy, Environmental, Disposal).
  • Amounts: Set your exact dollar value once.
  • Tax Status: Toggle “taxable” on or off.

The best part? ARI remembers. Once you set your fees, the system stores your configuration for the next job.

Want it Even Faster? Go Full Auto.

For the shops that charge the same fees every single time, we added a “Fast Lane.”

Check the “Apply automatically next time” box. From then on, the moment tires hit the invoice, your fees hit the invoice too. You’ll get a quick notification that they were added, with a 1-tap Edit link if you need to make a one-off adjustment.

No prompt, no clicks—just accurate billing.

Bottom Line: Every Tire Job, Billed Correctly.

Tire fees are small per unit, but they are the “leak” in many shop budgets. ARI PRO users can now plug that leak instantly.
