Why Us
Most systems translate the interface. We go further - your entire operation runs in English, Spanish or Portuguese.
The app and public pages support English, Spanish and Portuguese so shop teams can work in the language that fits them.
Messaging settings, provider readiness and customer opt-out language are wired for estimates, approvals, reminders and service updates.
Approved, declined and paid line items remain tied to each work order, making final invoice closeout and history review straightforward.
How It Works
Create the work order, link the customer and vehicle, assign shop context and move the job into the operational board.
Advisor builds the estimate, marks required or recommended lines, and sends a digital approval flow to the customer.
Customer receives the estimate link, approves or declines each line item, and the decision is saved with an audit-ready trail.
When the car is ready, collect manual payment or send a Stripe Connect card link, then close the work order with invoice history.
