## What is Shop Commander?

Shop Commander puts your entire auto repair shop in your pocket.

Built for shop owners, service advisors, and technicians, the app gives you everything from the front counter on your phone: repair orders, the live job board, two-way customer texting, digital vehicle inspections with photos, appointments, and payments.

REAL-TIME, EVERYWHERE — Every screen updates live. When a customer approves an estimate from their phone, your whole team knows the same second.

PUSH NOTIFICATIONS THAT MATTER — Estimate approvals, incoming customer texts, new online bookings, job assignments, and customer arrivals — even when the app is closed. Choose exactly which alerts you get.

DIGITAL INSPECTIONS — Document vehicles with your phone's camera. Customers get a link with photos, severity ratings, and one-tap estimate requests.

YOUR WHOLE SHOP, ONE ACCOUNT — The app, tablet, and web are one system. Notifications, messages, and read-states sync across all of them.

Shop Commander is 100% free — every feature, every user.

### 1.3.0 — 2026-09-08

Improved call controls and device settings, with reliability fixes and refinements across shop workflows.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-26

This update hardens the app under the hood: in-app updates are now cryptographically signed end to end, photos and documents load through authenticated channels, notification prompts behave properly after sign-out, and your shop's data is hidden from the app switcher. Plus small fixes and performance improvements throughout.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-17

Scan a VIN, licence plate or odometer with your camera instead of typing it. Point the camera, check what it read, and confirm — you stay in control of every value that gets saved.
