Shop management + customer marketing · independent repair shops

Shop software
is a racket.

The big systems don't cost $600 a month because they're better. They cost $600 because their sales team, their Vegas booth, and their investors' boat payments are hiding in your invoice. We think that's wrong. So we built what an independent shop actually uses. For $199 a month.

We got ahold of your bill

Where the $600 actually goes.

The big systems price like an all-you-can-eat buffet. The 30-location franchise running every module is getting a steal. You, running three bays and the same nine features every day?

You're paying full buffet price for one plate. Most shops overpay to subsidize somebody else's subscription. We charge for what you actually use. $199 isn't a discount. It's the actual price.

Rest in peace, expensive nonsense

The software graveyard.

Everything below died so the price could be $199.

Here lies Investor Returns, 2013-2026. Keep raising the price and cut support. Here lies The Annual Contract, 2012-2026. But you signed a contract.

How do you write repair orders?

Your options out there are old garbage or new bloated stuff. Tell us which one you're holding, and the rest of this page talks to you like we're standing at your counter.

Good. Paper never crashed.

You're overpaying in operations and underspending in marketing. It doesn't have to be that way.

Estimate, not a promise. Automotive-repair Search benchmarks: $3.90 average CPC, 5.56% CTR, and $28.50 cost per lead. The revenue scenario assumes half of inquiries become customers at the repair-order value you entered. Your market, campaign, website, and close rate will vary. Benchmark source.

KC AUTO · TULSA, OK
Our founder · Tulsa, Oklahoma

Meet the entire corporate hierarchy.

Our founder, Ben Morrison, started Allen Wrench inside KC Auto, our first partner. He built it sitting behind their counter, beside the people answering phones, writing repair orders, and trying to remember which customer wanted to wait on the brakes.

KC Auto was running one of those big cloud systems, full of features they didn't use. When Allen Wrench was ready, they dropped the $600 system.

$600 what they paid
$199 what they pay

They know both. They stayed.

We're self-funded. Our founder answers the phone. Ben keeps the company lean so your bill can stay lean. Our roadmap is whatever made a service writer swear last week.

Lubricating the American Dream.

Bringing the best jobs back to the independent auto repair shop. That's the actual sentence we run the company on.

Know a good shop?

If they sign up, you both get a free month, and Ben shows up with a six-pack for the crew. After closing time. We shoved our insurance guy in a locker.
