Frequently Asked Questions
IntactAuto & Excel Downloads


Are these Excel spreadsheets really free?

Yes! If an Excel download says it’s free, it’s free; you’re only agreeing to the disclaimer of warranty listed below.
Why is it free? Because the owner and founder of the Website IntactAuto.com, an individual still working within a retail automotive dealership wants his and others Excel worksheets developed over the years shared within the Automotive Industry. Many of the free Excel downloads are simply beta tests, testing the level of interest they may generate. This in turn determines if additional programming time should be initiated to a specific data management idea and converted to a reasonably priced sellable product. This is why your questions and comments are always appreciated.

How do I use this spreadsheet?

Its a known fact, individuals do not like reading directions, but I've spent an extensive amount of time developing instructions and creating comment boxes throughout these programs, please read them. If they don't answer your question it's my fault, E-mail me and I'll be happy to help and update the program to reflect your question.
The intent of these automotive spreadsheets is to simplify the daily routines of managing an auto dealership.

Must I have Microsoft® Excel installed on my computer?

Yes, you must have Excel installed on your system to actively use worksheets, these are spreadsheet templates not the actual Microsoft Excel program.

When trying to make an entry, I get the message the cell is protected?

The usage of these spreadsheets has been simplified by incorporating color coding within the worksheets.
Only cells Yellow in Color allow you to input an entry, occasionally these cells may turn Red in color if an error entry occurs, these are the only cells that allow an entry. All remaining cells are either information or calculation cell.

I'm not able to access pages in a workbook I've downloaded, which said it's Macro driven?

The reason is, Excel has within its program a Security Setting for Macros - Visual Basic.
You will need to adjust your setting saecurity setting. This is simply done by opening Excel and on your Toolbar click on "Tools", next click on "Macros", then click on "Security" and set your Security Level to Medium.

Where are the Workbook - Worksheet Tabs?

Some of the more extensive programs incorporate "Forms Buttons" which simplify spreadsheet usage. Accessing different worksheets or reports is done by simply clicking on a forms button, not by selecting worksheet tabs.

Don't like reading instructions?

After speaking to hundreds of individuals who have attempted to use these free Excel downloads I’ve come to the conclusion; individuals just don’t like reading instructions. If your one of them? Make a phone call, I’d be more than happy to talk you through the initial setup of anyone of these Automotive Specific Excel worksheets so that you don’t become discouraged and miss the opportunity of utilizing these great management tools. Call, I enjoy chatting and you don’t even have to say your name since I don’t truly care to sell you anything, I merely take pleasure in sharing practical and hopefully money-making, profitable automotive dealership management ideas online.
Sincerely,

Charles Schruefer - IntactAuto Founder
