Scan the VIN, skip the typing

Point a phone at the door jamb or windshield barcode. Year, make, model, and engine fill in on their own.

Recalls and mileage services

See open safety recalls and what's due at this mileage before the car even hits the lift.

Digital inspections

Techs mark each item, attach photos and videos, and add recommendations right from the bay.

Approvals by text

Send the customer a link. They see the findings and approve the work from their phone.

Our commitment

Built by someone who's worked the counter

I've worked in the auto industry for over 20 years and used just about every form of check-in and inspection process out there. The idea behind this app is simple: a cheap, seamless tool that's user-friendly and easy for small shops, while staying cost-effective.

Goal: simple, affordable software for small shops

  • Priced for small shops

    One fair monthly price, not dealer-level software costs. Keep more of every repair order.

  • Seamless from check-in to approval

    VIN scan, inspection, estimate, and customer approval flow into each other. No double entry.

  • Easy for the whole crew

    Built so advisors and techs can pick it up on day one, right from the counter or the bay.
