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.

The Tekmetric Mobile App now does more than fast digital vehicle inspections.

The newest update introduces Mobile Check-In, giving you or your service advisors the ability to greet customers in the parking lot, scan a VIN or license plate, and instantly start or pull up a repair order, all from a phone. It’s a faster, easier way to begin every job and keep things moving.

Speed Starts at the Curb

Check-in is one of the most visible — and often most frustrating — parts of a shop’s day. Whether it’s a walk-in with a flat tire or a scheduled customer with missing info, time is lost bouncing between the lot and the desk, retyping data, and waiting to begin.

Mobile Check-In simplifies all of that.

Now, you can confirm arrivals, start new ROs, and begin helping customers the second they pull into the lot — without delays or extra steps.

A Mobile App That Does More Than You Might Think

The Tekmetric Mobile App isn’t just a tool for inspections — and it’s not just for technicians.

Technicians can use the app to:

  • Find their assigned repair orders
  • Complete DVIs with photos, videos, and markups
  • Track time and stay on top of work in progress

Service advisors can use it to:

  • Greet customers in the parking lot
  • Scan VINs or plates
  • Start repair orders right from their phone

All without logging into a desktop.

A Real Mobile App — Not Just a Website Shrunk Down

Tekmetric Mobile is a fully native app, designed from the ground up for iOS and Android. It’s fast, reliable, and optimized for real-world use in the shop — whether you’re in the bay or out in the lot.

While it doesn’t include every desktop feature, it makes the most important ones faster and easier when you’re on the go — like:

  • Starting repair orders
  • Performing inspections
  • Reducing back-and-forth between workstations and customers

And this is just the beginning. Future updates will continue to bring more mobile workflows into the palm of your hand.
