Built for auto repair shops doing $1M–$5M
The phone rings while you're under a car, customers want status updates, and last visit's customers forget to come back. We build the tools that handle the front desk so the bays stay productive.
Built in two weeks. $1,500 to $6,000. No retainers, no long contracts — and a real person who knows your world.
Where the time goes
You didn't get into this business to live on the phone or write quotes at midnight. These are the things we hear about on almost every first call with an owner in Auto Repair.
If two or three of these sound familiar, there's a tool worth building.
What we'd build for you
Not a chatbot with a monthly fee. Small, reliable tools that do a specific job inside the workflow you already run — so your team is free for the work that grows the business.
Lead capture
Every call and form gets an instant reply and a booked appointment — service type, vehicle, drop-off time — so the phone stops pulling techs out of the bays.
Built on the tools you already run — you own it at launch.
Customer experience
Customers get automatic updates — vehicle received, diagnosis ready, repair approved, ready for pickup — so the front desk isn't fielding status calls all day.
Live in 1–2 weeks, with 30 days of tuning included.
Recurring revenue
It reaches back out when a customer is due for an oil change, inspection, or seasonal service — turning one-time visits into a steady repeat base.
A real person walks your team through it — no manual to read.
Daily brief
One text each morning: today's appointments, bay load, parts due, and yesterday's numbers.
Quietly pays for itself, then runs without you watching it.
What this looks like
These are illustrative examples of the kind of change these tools make — not named clients. The dollar and time figures are realistic, plain-English estimates of typical impact.
The phone constantly pulled techs out of the bays to answer status calls.
Customers get automatic status updates; bookings handled by an assistant.
Representative result: more productive bay time and a calmer front desk.
Customers came in once and were never reminded to return.
Service reminders go out automatically when a vehicle is due.
Representative result: a steadier base of returning customers.

Common questions
Yes. It captures the service type, vehicle, and drop-off time and books the appointment, so the phone stops pulling your techs off the work.
It tracks when each customer is due for routine service and reaches out at the right time, turning one-time visits into a predictable repeat base.
Yes. We build on top of Shopmonkey, Tekmetric, Mitchell 1, or whatever you already run.
We'll tell you. Honestly — plenty of our first calls end with us saying “you don't need AI for that, you need a better process” or “this is a $200 Zapier zap, not a $5k build.” We make our money on great fits, not by selling everyone an automation. The 15-minute call is free either way.
Every build has approval gates wherever the stakes are real — sending a customer message, processing a payment, booking a job. The tool drafts, you approve. For the first 30 days after launch we monitor it daily and fix anything that drifts. After that you can keep us on retainer or take it fully in-house — your call.
