Preventive Maintenance Software That Keeps Customers Coming Back
Set maintenance intervals for every vehicle. Mechanics automatically reminds customers when service is due. Result: 30-40% more return visits and predictable revenue.
THE PROBLEM
Customers Forget. Revenue Disappears.
Most shops rely on customers to remember when maintenance is due. They don't. Oil changes, tire rotations, fluid checks, filter replacements — customers skip them. Then they miss deferred work, fail inspections, and switch shops. Shops that send preventive maintenance reminders see 30-40% more return visits, stronger customer loyalty, and revenue that doesn't depend on breakdowns.
MAINTENANCE AUTOMATION
From Intervals to Automatic Reminders
Set Maintenance Per Vehicle
After service completion, set oil change interval (3,000 mi / 3 mo), tire rotation (5,000 mi / 6 mo), and other maintenance items specific to that vehicle's make/model.
Automatic Tracking
Mechanics logs every visit, tracks mileage and time elapsed. Counts down to next due date automatically. No manual updates needed.
Scheduled Reminders
When service is due (or 1 month before), customer gets a text and email reminder. Includes quick booking link. One-click approval schedule.
Overdue Tracking
Mechanics shows you which customers are overdue. Follow-up campaigns can target overdue customers with special offers.
