Automotive 13 Work Board

Everything your shop needs. Nothing it doesn't.

From the moment the car arrives to the moment it's paid — one place, no double entry.

Work Board

See every car in the shop at a glance. Drag jobs between stages, assign technicians and keep promised times in view.

Repair orders in one screen

Customer, vehicle and concern together. Search by name, phone or plate, and decode the VIN in one click.

Estimates with jobs

Labor hours × your rate, parts with cost and retail, saved packages for common jobs, and approval per job.

Digital inspections

Technicians inspect from their phone with photos. Send the customer a link to review and sign. Red and yellow items become estimate lines.

Invoices & payments

Professional PDF invoices, deposits, split payments by method, refunds and a link your customer can open anytime.

Vehicle history that sells

Every visit, mileage and job in one profile. Work the customer declined last time shows up on the next visit.

Write estimates the way you think.

Group labor and parts into jobs, let the customer approve or decline each one, and keep a clean record of what was authorized.

  • Labor rate filled in automatically
  • Packages for oil changes, brakes and more
  • Approved, pending and declined totals at a glance
Estimate with jobs

Know the car before you open the hood.

The vehicle profile keeps every visit, inspection and mileage reading, so your advisor knows exactly what's due.

  • Visit history with jobs and totals
  • Mileage history and estimated miles today
  • Oil, tire and battery specs saved per vehicle
