Smart Jobs is a revolutionary new way to build jobs in Tekmetric with just one click. Shop management software, at its core, is meant to help you build jobs, and we wanted to streamline that process as much as possible. So that’s what we did!
Your typical repair order may have one or more jobs packaged together. Usually that requires a lot of clicking around to find the right labor rates, and the right parts, sourcing the parts you don’t have, and applying the right markup matrices, over and over again.
That means an extra click for every single step. If you ask us, that’s too many clicks.
The reality is that all shop management systems require far too many actions for what really should be a one-click process.
When we set out to create Tekmetric, we set out to revolutionize the independent auto repair industry. We wanted to simplify, yet maximize the work your shop does.
We’re certain you’ll love how much Smart Jobs does just that.
"Smart jobs is a must have, it'll speed up your service writing by a huge amount.” - Chris Chagnon, COO at the Cardinal Plaza Shell
What's new with Smart Jobs?
Smart Jobs in Tekmetric will enable service advisors to add jobs to new repair orders in just one or two clicks per job.
That's right, no more digging around for the right fluids and filters, double-checking your inventory, and ordering out-of-stock parts. Smart Jobs does it all for you!
All with just one or two clicks, job builders can create a new job with an automatically generated name that also automatically:
Adds relevant labor line based on the vehicle selected for the job and labor matrix
Changes the required quantity of fluid based on the vehicle selected
Finds parts required for the job from your preferred parts vendors by tapping into the PartsTech catalog containing 15M+ parts, letting you order what you need right then and there (filters and fluids too!)
Applies a parts matrix to the parts of the job based on the cost
Last but not least, applies a total package price to the entire job
Spend less time clicking and more time connecting with customers. Smart Jobs makes everything that simple!

The automotive shop industry has grown tremendously between 2018 and 2023. It reached $59.1 billion in revenue, the result of a compound annual growth rate of .5%. Vehicle ownership drives a considerable amount of this growth, and it will increase through 2028.
This exciting, growing field offers tremendous potential for new auto repair shop owners. However, competition is fierce. Nurturing successful business growth comes down to running it optimally. In this guide, you’ll discover what you need to know about building an auto shop and how to thrive in this industry.
How Do You Run an Auto Repair Shop?
Running a profitable auto repair shop long-term revolves around establishing solid relationships with your customers. Over 60% of customers say that they like to get their work done at the same shop, and 96% go to three or fewer locations when they need to get work done on their car. Gaining customer satisfaction through expertise and communication plays an important role in keeping your customers happy so that they return.
Proper auto shop management and best practices, such as improving productivity and rewarding loyal customers, keep your business competitive. Many strategies that strengthen your business will also incentivize customers and encourage them to return. Since customers do not want to go to numerous auto repair businesses, proving that your business is one they can rely on encourages this loyalty which strengthens your ROI.
To build a quality business, a business plan that emphasizes customer service and retention will take you far. You can incorporate a few central strategies into your plan to keep your customers happy.
The holiday season is now in full swing, and as a shop owner, you’re probably thinking about how to best lead your team during this time.
Between the hot chocolate and the carols, there will be a lot you’ll have to navigate, including holiday pay and time-off requests.
By preparing and leveraging auto repair shop management software, all of this can be a piece of cake (or pie, if that’s your holiday dessert of choice).
