About

Auto Shop Pro

Read full description

Auto Shop Pro is your shop's board. Start a repair order from the plate. If the car has been here before, the customer, model and history are already filled in. Add parts and labor, close the price, hand over the receipt — without leaving the screen. WHAT IT DOES • A board by status: waiting, in progress, waiting on parts, done. Sorted by what has been sitting longest, not by what came in first. • Customers and vehicles with full history, specs and mileage. • Follow-ups: who is due for service, with a message ready to send. • Revenue dashboard: billed this month, still to bill, average ticket, and where the money comes from. • A priced catalog of parts and labor, so you stop typing the same lines. • Roles for your team. Mechanics log parts but never see prices — enforced on the server, not just hidden in the UI. • More than one location, with separate boards or a combined view. WORKS WITHOUT SIGNAL Everything is saved on the device and syncs when the connection returns. The shop doesn't stop because the internet did.
