Auto mechanics have a lot of information to keep track of, including customer records, emergency and recurring inspection appointments, inventory, billing, quotes and estimates, and more. Paper-and-pencil record keeping and multiple Excel spreadsheets are not efficient methods for running a repair shop these days, especially for auto mechanics who want to streamline their shop management systems and become more profitable.
There are multiple technology tools and software systems available to address all of the auto mechanics’ repair shop management needs and challenges. Some of the tech tools also help auto mechanics diagnose issues with vehicles and repair them, reducing the amount of time spent on each customer’s vehicle driving profits up and expenses down.
