Auto Repair Shop Software vs MechanicKey

An auto repair shop does not fall apart because it needs another calendar. It falls apart when appointments, open bays, technicians, job status, customer updates, invoices, and payouts all live in different places. Workliner brings that workflow into one app built for auto repair shops: from the first booking request to a closed job, customer report, repair order, technician payout, and owner analytics. Not just a calendar — a shop workflow tool A repair shop schedule depends on more than a date and time. You need to know the location, service bay, assigned technician, estimated duration, current workload, customer details, vehicle information, and job status. With Workliner, you can view appointments by location and service bay in a timeline or list view. See booked slots, open windows, and customers who can come in earlier. When creating an appointment, Workliner checks for time conflicts on the selected bay. Appointments built for real shop work Each appointment can include the start and end time, shop location, service bay, services and prices, technician, customer name and phone number, vehicle, VIN, year, mileage, estimated duration, and notes. For returning customers, Workliner can suggest details from your company history, helping your team fill in appointments faster. Locations, bays, and team roles Set up your company, working hours, shop locations, service bays, and services. Add employees, assign roles for owner, service advisor/admin, or technician, and connect team members to the right locations. Online booking through QR and link Create a public booking link and QR code for each location. Customers can send a booking request, and your team can review it in the app, decline it, or turn it into a full appointment. Work reports without scattered chats Technicians can add text, photos, and videos to current jobs. Share the report with a customer through a link when you need to show progress, explain work, or send the result without digging through multiple message threads. Job statuses and service progress Appointments have clear statuses: pending, in progress, completed, and canceled. Inside an appointment, you can update the status and mark individual services as completed. Past appointments stay available in the archive. Invoices, repair orders, and technician payouts Create an invoice or repair order from an appointment, including labor, parts, fees, tax, discounts, and totals. Prepare it as a draft, issue it, preview it as a PDF, and send it to the customer. After a completed appointment, you can track technician payouts: amount, payout status, payout date, and notes. Each employee profile shows what has not been calculated, what is ready to be paid, and what has already been paid. Owner analytics Workliner helps owners see what is happening in the shop beyond the daily rush. Track average ticket, weekly revenue, cancellations, lost revenue, top services, leading employees and locations, and a shop utilization heatmap. Built for auto repair teams Workliner is made for shop owners, service advisors, technicians, and repair businesses with multiple locations, service bays, and a steady flow of appointments.
