New! Tekmetric Multi-Shop Plan

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.

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?

“If you are interested in picking up a new hobby like boating, you’ll do everything you can to learn more and more and more. Why can’t you do that with your auto repair shop?

Is it because it’s boring?

Is it because it’s not the same?

It doesn’t excite you as much as your hobby would?

If you take a second and stop to think, you’ll realize you can have any hobby in the world if you focus on your repair shop and get it to where it needs to be.

There is no waiting for the right person to walk through the door. There is no waiting for the right technician."

"It has to happen right now, today."

Tekmetric Co-CEO and Co-Founder Sunil Patel recently joined Kelsey Outram on the LIFT Your Shop Podcast to talk tech, mentorship, and transforming your auto repair business.

From medical school to law enforcement, Sunil tried his hand at a variety of fields over the years, but eventually all roads led him to founding Tekmetric with Prasanth Chilukuri in 2016.

Tekmetric quickly became the preferred shop management system in the auto repair industry.

And if you ask Sunil why, he’ll say it’s all about mindset.

If you’re a shop owner who has been feeling stuck, here are six steps you can take to shift gears.

1. Define Your Goals

“When you really set your mind to something, it subconsciously changes how you behave as a human, as a person. And you hone in on what you’re trying to accomplish and you accomplish that task.”

Here are some examples of goals you might hear people talk about in the auto repair industry:

• “I want to make one million dollars in revenue this year."
• “I would like to add another bay to the shop by the end of the year."
• “I want to open another location in 2023.”

What do these goals all have in common? They are specific, achievable, and easy to track.

In the same way that it’s difficult to plan a vacation without having a travel destination in mind, it’s difficult to achieve a goal if you never set one in the first place.

Knowing where you want to go is the first step toward figuring out a roadmap to get there.

2. Accept That Change is Part of the Process

“Forget about the technology and software and all that for a moment, and ask yourself this: Are you happy with where you are today running your shop? And if the answer is no, then dig deeper.”

Whether your shop is looking to switch parts suppliers or invest in a new shop management system, change can be intimidating.

Many shops experience growing pains, but keeping an open mind is essential to driving your business forward.

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.
