I'm a Colorado car guy who works with data and builds software. I turn your repair orders into a list of work worth chasing, and I build the pieces your system is missing. Nothing to switch, and you get a written quote before any work starts.
Rather start in writing? Ask for a free checkup or a quote.

Reading repair orders
5 codes found
Your repair orders are full of work you haven't done yet.
Every declined repair, every customer who stopped coming in, and every car coming due is already in your system. I pull it into one page, in plain English, with real dollars.
The first checkup is free.

Every shop system does most of the job. The rest is where your week goes. Tell me what yours won't do, and you get a written quote before I build anything.
Every fix is quoted up front.
Get a quoteEvery RO says who came in, what their car needed, what they said yes to, and what they didn't. Put together, that's a list of customers and repairs waiting for a phone call.

You don't need new software. You need the one thing yours won't do, built around the system you keep, with a written quote before I start.
Concern“It won't remember my fleet's heavy-duty labor rate.”
CauseThe system can't set rates that specific.
CorrectionRate rules by customer, vehicle or job, applied automatically.
Concern“My bookkeeper fixes the QuickBooks sync every month.”
CauseThe sync doesn't carry every line the way your books need it.
CorrectionA sync that matches line by line, sales tax included.
Concern“I got a phone OK and wrote it on a sticky note.”
CauseThere's no clean place to log a verbal approval.
CorrectionApprovals logged the way Colorado's repair law wants them, with a warning before a bill runs more than 10% or $25 over the estimate.
Concern“I file sales tax for three different cities.”
CauseColorado home-rule cities each want their own numbers.
CorrectionParts and labor split correctly, totals ready for each city.
Concern“I need a report it just doesn't have.”
CauseBuilt-in reports stop short of what you actually ask.
CorrectionThe report you want, in your inbox every Monday.
Concern“Two of my tools don't talk to each other.”
CauseNothing connects them, so someone retypes it.
CorrectionI connect them, so nobody types the same thing twice.
When three shops need the same fix, it becomes a standard add-on anyone can switch on, so it costs less for everyone.
Get a quote on a fix
Book a call, or send an export of your repair orders and what your software won't do. I'll walk you through the export, or come by the shop.
What's in your numbers, what I'd fix, and a written quote for anything that costs money. Plain English, no dashboards to learn.
Work the lists yourself or get them every month. Fixes are built as quoted, around the system you keep.
I'm Bobby. I'm not a mechanic. I'm a car guy who does my own work on my NA Miata, and I work with data and build software for a living.
Your shop software holds years of repair orders and still makes you do things by hand. Making sense of the first and fixing the second is the part I'm good at.
I'm based here in Colorado, and I'd rather fix what you already have than sell you another app.
Fifteen minutes. Tell me what's going on at the shop and I'll tell you straight whether I can help.
Mountain time. I'll call the number you give me.
Ask for a free checkup or a quote on a fix. I reply within the hour during the day.
Go to the quote formTell me what you need. You'll get a written quote before any work starts, and the first data checkup is free.
No. I work with whatever you already run: Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, Mitchell 1, Shop-Ware, AutoLeap, even spreadsheets. Nothing to rip out.
Anything your system makes you do by hand: labor rate rules, QuickBooks and sales tax, reports, approvals, getting two tools to talk. If I can't do it well, I'll say so.
The first data checkup is free. Everything else gets a written quote before I start, based on what your shop actually needs. No contracts, and no surprises on the bill.
Your data stays yours. I only use it for your work, I never contact your customers without your OK, and I delete it whenever you ask. Happy to sign an NDA.
