Mechanic Shop Software Built by People Who Understand Shops

SHOP MANAGEMENT

What Makes Software Actually Work for a Shop

Generic service software forces shops to adapt their workflow to the tool. Real mechanic shop software speaks the language — ROs not "tickets", techs not "staff", bays not "stations", parts not "inventory items." Mechanics was built from day one for mechanics. Every label makes sense. Every workflow matches how you actually work. No translation. No friction. Just software that understands shops.

CORE MODULES

Everything Your Shop Needs

Work Orders

RO-numbered from estimate to invoice. Full job lifecycle, tech assignments, status tracking, time logs, and parts linkage.

AI Diagnostics

Enter symptoms. Get ranked causes. Network intelligence improves every diagnosis. Saves techs hours on complex troubleshooting.

Parts & Inventory

Stock tracking, reorder alerts, part-to-job linkage. Know what you have, what you need, and what you used on each job.

Customer Vehicles

VIN history, maintenance schedules, predictive outreach. Every customer's fleet is visible. Know when to call them.

Bay Management

Assign jobs to bays, see which bays are full, optimize assignments. Visual bay layout. Real-time occupancy.

Team & Roles

Assign techs to jobs, track hours, set labor rates. Owner, manager, and tech roles with different permissions.

REAL WORLD DESIGN

Built for the Real Shop Floor

Any Device

Tablet at the bay. Phone in the lot. Desktop at the desk. Mechanics works on any device. No special installs. No servers. Everything syncs in real time.

No IT Required

Cloud-based. Browser-based. No servers to manage. No infrastructure to maintain. No IT budget. Just log in and work.

Blazing Fast

Optimized for a busy shop. No loading screens between jobs. Instant searches. Fast data entry. Techs stay productive, not waiting.

GROWING VALUE

Intelligence That Compounds

Every job you log improves the network. Every diagnostic you enter makes the AI smarter. Every parts cost you record builds better supplier intelligence. Every customer outreach you send improves predictive accuracy. Unlike static software that stays the same forever, Mechanics gets better the more you use it. The longer you're on the platform, the more advantage you have over shops that use tools that don't learn.

QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked

Is Mechanics only for large shops?

No. Mechanics scales from solo mechanics to large shops. Personal mode is free for one-person operations. Shop mode is $79/month for 2–5 techs. Pro mode is $149/month for advanced features. Start small, grow, upgrade when you need to.

What's the difference between Personal and Shop mode?

Personal mode is designed for one person managing their own work. You get work orders, estimates, invoices, and customer history. Shop mode adds multi-technician assignments, bay management, team roles, and labor tracking. If you have employees, use Shop. If you're solo, Personal is enough.

Does it work without internet?

Mechanics is cloud-based, so you need internet. But we're built for reliable internet in shops. If internet goes down, work orders you've already loaded stay accessible offline. When internet returns, everything syncs. No data loss.

How is this different from generic service management software?

Generic service software (for plumbers, HVAC, etc.) doesn't understand auto repair. Mechanics speaks your language. ROs, not tickets. Techs, not staff. Bays, not stations. Every feature is designed specifically for mechanics. No translation needed.

Can I try it before paying?

Yes. Personal mode is completely free. You can manage work orders, create estimates, log parts, and track customer history. All features included, no credit card required. When you're ready for multi-tech features or AI diagnostics, upgrade to Shop or Pro.
