In the fast-paced world of auto repair, every minute counts, and your technician's time is your greatest asset. You’re not just managing a business—you’re orchestrating a complex balancing act of diagnostics, repairs, customer interactions, and team coordination. With so much on your plate, wouldn’t it be great if you had a tool that sped up the inspection process and created more customer trust? Well, your wish just came true.

Available for free across app stores, the Tekmetric Mobile App is designed to streamline your inspection process, boost productivity, and build stronger, more trusting relationships with your customers—all while putting more money in your pocket.

The Freedom to Do More, Right from Your Phone

In the world of auto repair, time is money. Every second your technicians spend away from their primary tasks, whether they’re running back to the computer to log information or trying to send and upload pictures, is time that could be spent actually working on vehicles. The Tekmetric Mobile App changes all that by bringing everything your technicians need right to their fingertips.

With the Tekmetric mobile app, your technicians can easily complete digital vehicle inspections directly from their phones (iPhone or Android). No more clipboards, no more back-and-forth to the computer. They can take high-quality photos and videos, accurately document vehicle conditions, and perform detailed inspections on the spot. It’s fast, it’s efficient, and it keeps your team focused on what they do best—repairing cars.

Cut Time Spent on Inspections in Half

The Tekmetric Mobile App isn’t just a convenience; it’s a productivity powerhouse. It streamlines the inspection workflow, allowing your technicians to move seamlessly from one task to the next without skipping a beat. The app’s intuitive interface means there’s no steep learning curve—your team can start using it immediately, saving valuable time from day one.

Imagine the impact on your shop’s efficiency when your technicians are no longer bogged down by administrative tasks. Inspections are completed faster, data is recorded more accurately, and your team is free to focus on getting vehicles back to their owners quickly. This increase in productivity means more cars serviced each day, which directly translates to more revenue for your business.

Increase ARO by adding photos

Trust is everything in the auto repair industry. Your customers need to know that they can rely on you for honest, accurate assessments of their vehicles. The Tekmetric Mobile App helps you build that trust by making it easier than ever to communicate with your customers.

With the app, your technicians can document vehicle conditions with detailed photos and videos, giving your customers a clear, visual understanding of any issues. Instead of just telling them what’s wrong, you can show them. The Tekmetric mobile app takes this to the next level with its photo markup feature, allowing your technicians to visually pinpoint exact issues on the images without slowing down. This transparency not only helps customers feel more confident in your recommendations, but it also fosters long-term relationships based on trust and satisfaction.

When your customers see that you’re being upfront and thorough, they’re more likely to approve necessary repairs and keep coming back to your shop in the future. The Tekmetric Mobile App helps you build that kind of loyalty, one inspection at a time.

Boost Monthly Revenue by $15k

At the end of the day, your shop is a business, and like any business, profitability is key. According to the 2023 Industry Index, Tekmetric shops who add an average of 25 photos and videos to their inspections see their ARO increase to $2500. The Tekmetric Mobile App is designed to help you accomplish just that. You can maximize your earnings by enhancing efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Faster inspections mean more vehicles can be serviced in a day, which leads to increased revenue. Additionally, when customers trust your assessments and feel confident in their decisions, they’re more likely to approve additional services, further boosting your sales. And because the app improves documentation accuracy and reduces the chance of errors, you’re also protecting your shop from costly misunderstandings and disputes.

The Future of Auto Repair is Here—And It’s Free

The Tekmetric Mobile App is more than just a tool; it’s a game-changer for auto repair shops of all sizes. It’s designed to fit seamlessly into your existing workflow, enhancing every aspect of your inspection process while saving you time and money. And the best part? It’s completely free to download and use.

Whether you’re managing a single location or multiple shops, the Tekmetric Mobile App is ready to help you take your business to the next level. It’s intuitive, powerful, and it’s available right now in your favorite app store.

Running a repair shop takes more than turning wrenches. It’s booking appointments, reminding customers to show up, following up on declined jobs – all while keeping bays full and the front office running smoothly.

But for most shops, staying connected with customers feels like a second job. Some rely on a patchwork of booking tools, texting apps, and review platforms. Others don’t follow up at all. Either way, things slip through the cracks. The result? Missed appointments, lost revenue, and customers who never return.

That’s why we built Tekmetric Marketing.

Not another system to learn. Not another login to juggle. It’s built right into Tekmetric, the platform you already trust to run your shop. With online booking, reminders, campaigns, follow-ups, reviews, and even a professional website all in one place, Tekmetric Marketing helps you keep customers engaged and loyal automatically – without piling more work on your plate. And it’s designed so anyone on your team can use it. No marketing expertise required.

More Cars. Higher ARO. Steady Repeat Business.

Every repair order holds untapped potential. A declined brake job today can turn into tomorrow’s revenue. A routine oil change can become the start of a long-term relationship.

Tekmetric Marketing makes sure those opportunities don’t slip away. Customers can book online 24/7, filling bays while you sleep. Automated reminders cut down on no-shows and keep the calendar steady. Follow-ups on declined jobs and maintenance turn “not today” into approved work. Seasonal campaigns help you bring customers back when business slows.

And if your shop doesn’t have a website, Tekmetric can build one for you, giving customers one more way to find you, book online, and keep your bays full.

As Ryan Froats of Yorktown Auto Care put it:
“As an independently-owned shop, dedicating resources towards outreach and follow-up can be challenging. Tekmetric Marketing allows me to communicate with my customer base in a variety of ways, without tying up hours of my work week.”

That’s the difference between a full schedule and an empty bay. Between a one-time job and a loyal customer.

Turn Great Service Into Lasting Loyalty

Great service doesn’t stop when the car leaves the bay. Tekmetric Marketing makes it really easy to keep the relationship going. Post-visit follow-ups that check in with customers after service, showing you care and helping you catch issues early. Review requests that boost your reputation on Google, making it easier for new customers to find and trust you. Private feedback that gives you valuable insights to improve service and address concerns before they go public

Together, these touchpoints build trust, strengthen relationships, and turn satisfied customers into loyal advocates.

One Platform. No Missed Messages.

Because Tekmetric Marketing lives inside Tekmetric, all customer communication flows through one platform – from estimates and approvals to reminders, follow-ups, and promotions. No more bouncing between systems or wondering what’s been sent. Everything is tied to the customer profile, making communication clear, consistent, and professional.

Tekmetric Marketing also works in sync with your shop’s calendar, repair orders, and payments. Bookings instantly block off availability. Reminders align with scheduled work. Everything just works without syncing headaches or double entry.

And here’s the best part: Tekmetric Marketing is designed for busy shop owners and front office staff. It’s easy to set up, runs automatically in the background, and helps you grow your business without adding more to your to-do list – or requiring a marketing degree.

As Corey Hansen of Hansen Auto Repair shared:
“It’s so convenient having everything in one place, right inside Tekmetric. I already have Tekmetric open for managing the shop and invoicing, so I don’t have to switch tabs or log into something else to engage with my customers. Having it all together just makes things faster—and for me, saving time is huge.”

Auto Repair. Done Right.

Tekmetric has always been the all-in-one platform that helps shops run better — from managing repairs to taking payments. Now, with Tekmetric Marketing, it’s also the platform that helps you grow faster, keep customers loyal, and deliver a better experience at every turn.

Turn every visit into the next one. With Tekmetric Marketing, it happens automatically.
