What you get on this side.

AI Diagnosis in every plan

Trouble codes and photos in, an ordered test plan out. It checks NHTSA recalls, complaints, and service bulletins, and it never invents OEM specs.

One price with everything in it

$199 / $329 / $479 a month. Every feature in every plan, and annual billing gives you one month free.

Built with working techs

Technician logins see the job, the clock, and the specs, never your prices. Techs flag the desk in one tap, and My Hours shows credited hours and a paid mark when the ticket closes.

Your data stays yours

Import from Tekmetric, Shop-Ware, Mitchell 1, or any CSV. Download a full JSON backup of your shop whenever you want.

The Follow-ups list: declined work and failed inspection items, each with Text, Book, and Dismiss buttons.

Declined work and failed inspection items wait on the Follow-ups list.
