Top events

SEMA/APPEX

This year, Tekmetric had a significant presence at SEMA and APPEX. Our primary focus was on mobilizing and engaging with our customer base, driving demand for Tekmetric solutions, and increasing brand awareness.

At SEMA, the largest automotive trade show in the USA, which attracts about 140,000 attendees, we hosted the 5th Quarter and Yeti Giveaway Happy Hour event in our booth on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. This event featured drinks, snacks, and a raffle for a Yeti Prize Package, creating a relaxed and engaging networking atmosphere during the last hour of the show.

Vision

VISION Hi-Tech Training & Expo, a premier automotive service event for over 30 years, annually drew over 3,500 attendees. Focused on employee training, it offered hands-on lessons for technicians, service advisor training, and management sessions. The 2024 conference, held from February 19th to March 3rd at the Overland Park Convention Center, covered technical practices, standard operating procedures, KPIs, and service advisor sales approaches.

Tekmetric had a booth at this event, providing valuable networking and learning opportunities. The event also served as a marketing platform for top automotive companies to host sessions, sponsor, and exhibit, connecting with dedicated professionals and contributing to industry excellence. Additionally, we co-hosted a happy hour with Steer on March 1st, which allowed us to interact with more attendees in a relaxed and engaging setting.

Shop Hackers

The Tekmetric team attended Shop Hackers in early August as a Platinum Sponsor. Shop Hackers was one of Tekmetric’s key strategic events of the year, with a large portion of attendees being Tekmetric customers. Our focus as a revenue team was to ensure we leveraged the event and overall investment to:

  • Mobilize and engage our customer base.
  • Drive demand and adoption of Tekmetric solutions.
  • Generate brand awareness and visibility for Tekmetric.

At this event, we had the opportunity to speak directly with attendees and presented Tekmetric Unveiled: Latest Features and Upcoming Innovations, showcasing our newest developments and exciting future plans. We also launched the MVP Customer Advocacy Program, which allows us to recognize and engage our most valued customers. To further enhance the experience, we invited four of our customer shops to attend the event and share their experiences with Tekmetric.

Well-written mechanic work orders help technicians stay on task and efficiently move jobs through to completion. With Tekmetric’s Job Board, mechanic work order templates, and Tech Board, you can craft and manage highly detailed work orders, strategically assign work, and track progress all from one intuitive shop management software.

If you're a service advisor, you probably know the ropes of preparing a work order like the back of your hand: you get the technician to perform an inspection, put together an estimate, get approval for the work, and then prompt the techs to complete the work. And if you’ve read our digital vehicle inspection guide, you know that Tekmetric makes drawing up mechanic work orders that much easier. But what happens when it’s time to assign work, and it seems like all the technicians are already stacked with jobs?

Without the right tools, assigning work evenly across your team of technicians can come with a serious learning curve. Fortunately, Tekmetric can simplify work order creation and job distribution, too. Small details and adjustments intentionally designed into our system can make a big difference in how efficiently the work is completed.

Technicians and service advisors, you know the pace and organization of a shop depends on the efficiency of its work order process. If you don’t know what to do, what to use, and how long you have to complete a job, it’s difficult to fix a car and get it back to the customer on time. And as your shop scales to take on more work, the management challenge increases exponentially. So let’s dive into how to streamline mechanic work orders and get more work done without it seeming like, well, work.

Navigating the estimate and repair process starts with an automotive repair order form. And a manual process may create more work for your team. Your service advisors are trying to move everything along quickly and accurately, but they're human and mistakes do happen.

With a manual automotive repair order form process, it can be easy for service advisors to get lost in the hustle due to typos, illegible handwriting, or estimates saved in the wrong place.

You might also find that it’s difficult to guide your business with a manual estimate and repair order process because data collection can become an enormous challenge.

Using traditional automotive repair order forms is kind of like trying to navigate a road trip with a paper map: it can be easy to get lost in the process, and once you’re lost, it can be difficult to get back on track. Nowadays, paper maps are just one of our endless choices for navigation tools, and how many drivers still use them?
