How it works
Workshop Wrench guides your team through every stage of the repair, from first contact to final payment.
Customer books online or the service advisor creates the appointment. Vehicle history and notes are attached instantly.
Technician runs a digital vehicle inspection. Photos and findings are sent to the customer for real-time approval.
Advisor builds the estimate with labour and parts. Customer approves via SMS link — no phone tag required.
RO closes, a GST-compliant invoice is generated, and payment is collected by card or text-to-pay link.
Shop management · independents
Built for AU/NZ workshops running light-duty independents — not a US product with GST bolted on as an afterthought. Workshop Wrench is sold on workflow depth: a job board where stage transitions are enforced by the same rules the API uses, a DVI path where tech findings become priced estimate lines the advisor sends in one step, customer portal approvals that write back to the job without phone tag, inventory that gates production on parts readiness, and owner dashboards that show ARO and deferred revenue with the formula visible. Cloud-based, multi-tenant, AU/NZ GST-aware — early access with a working demo you can evaluate without a sales call.
This page targets the US/global phrase “auto repair shop software.” AU buyers may prefer our workshop management hub. Same product; regional language only.
Why this category matters
Category pages should not be synonym stuffing. Here is the operating rationale every serious shop platform must address.
Car count dies on missed calls, weak booking, and messy intake — the OS must own first contact through check-in.
ARO dies when findings never become priced, decided lines — DVI and portal approvals are margin features.
Throughput dies when AWAITING_AUTH and AWAITING_PARTS are invisible — board stages must mean something.
Cash dies when invoices are re-keyed and AR is a Friday spreadsheet — money path starts on the repair order.
Vehicle lifecycle
The Automotive Workshop Operating System (AWOS) maps every customer moment from first contact to retention — so software follows how workshops actually earn margin.
Capabilities
Live means in the multi-tenant product/demo. Integrations use Live / Stub / Dry-run / Planned — never Connected for stubs. Roadmap means not production-complete.

Structured for humans and search (FAQ schema). We update when ship status changes.
Table stakes: CRM + vehicles, scheduling, repair orders, estimates, DVI, inventory, invoicing, customer messaging/approvals, payments or payment partners, and reporting. Leaders also ship portal approve, text-to-pay, and multi-location.
Those platforms set a high bar on UX, SMS, and packaging. We match core workflow pieces in a live demo, publish transparent tiers, open REST APIs, and focus AU tax/accounting path. See our Compare pages — no fake “#1” claims.
