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.
Here lies Product Webinars, 2015-2026. Please stay for the Q&A. Here lies The Other 47 Features, 2017-2026. You never even clicked on me.

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.

No modules. No training week. If you can read that thread, you can run the shop on it.

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.

Two guys with a dream

We believe that small businesses are the fabric of America, and the people running them deserve a better quality of life and to keep more of what they earn.

After months sitting behind the counter at KC Auto and building for the people answering phones, writing repair orders, and trying to remember which customer was going to wait on the brakes until their next check came in, Ben found Steve. An industry veteran who shared the same mission and had years of experience helping owners get more customers.

We're self-funded. Ben answers the phone. Seriously. Try it. We keep the company lean so your bill can stay lean. Our roadmap is fixing whatever made a service writer swear at their software last week.

Lubricating the American Dream.

By bringing the best jobs back to independent repair shops. That's the actual sentence we run our company on.
