What it is
ManageAutoShop is browser-based shop management software for independent auto repair businesses. It brings customer and vehicle records together with estimates, repair orders, technician assignments, job tracking, inspections, invoices, and reminders. Its dashboard summarizes appointments, repairs that are open or overdue, mechanic workload, and current revenue. Staff can find customer records by name, phone number, or license plate, review repair history, and attach unlimited vehicles to each customer. Digital inspections can include photos and be stored with a repair order. Inventory tools track shop stock such as oil, filters, and brake pads, and job recipes record parts usage. The product also creates PDF invoices and daily, weekly, and monthly revenue reports, including production by mechanic. Listed connections include QuickBooks invoice syncing and automatic Google review requests through the shop’s Google Business Profile link. Staff can send a one-click text when a vehicle is ready. It works in a modern browser on phones, tablets, and desktop computers without installation. Monthly service is $99 a month; annual service is $999 a year. A 14-day trial does not require a credit card.
Who it suits. ManageAutoShop is aimed at independent repair shops, especially those with about 1–6 bays. It suits teams that want customer records, repair workflows, inspections, inventory, invoicing, and revenue reporting together in a browser.
