Description

Apex Mechanic is a cloud-based shop management solution designed specifically for independent automotive repair businesses, which includes general repair, tire services, performance upgrades, fleet maintenance, and quick-lube operations. This software seamlessly integrates customer and vehicle information, appointment scheduling, online booking, work orders, price estimates, invoices, inventory management, and customer communication. Employees can create detailed estimates that include costs for parts, labor, services, taxes, and additional notes, which can then be sent to customers for approval and easily transformed into invoices once accepted. Additionally, the platform provides features such as appointment reminders and prompts for Google reviews, enhancing customer engagement. Both shop proprietors and staff can utilize the web application and a mobile app to efficiently manage appointments, pricing estimates, invoices, and communication with clients. Furthermore, a dedicated Apex Auto app is available for vehicle owners, enabling them to locate repair shops, request estimates, schedule services, communicate with shops, and maintain a record of their vehicle's service history. This comprehensive system not only streamlines the daily operations of repair businesses but also fosters improved communication between shops and their customers, creating a more cohesive experience for both parties.

Description

A service writer hands Daedalus a rough note — "stalls at idle, new coil and plugs, 1.2 hr" — and gets back a structured draft: the symptom filed as the write-up, the parts and labor as priced estimate lines costed at the shop's own labour rate. Nothing is committed until a person approves it. Around that sits a full shop-management system for independent auto repair: repair orders, estimates, customer approvals, invoicing, payments and scheduling on one record. The same assistant answers questions against the shop's own data — pull a vehicle's history, check the day's schedule, update an order. Vehicle owners get a portal under the shop's branding — at a permanent address, so it is one link to keep — to follow the job, approve work and pay. They can ask it questions rather than phoning in, and it hands off to a person when it can't answer. Shop data exports in full at any time.

Auto Repair Shop Management

Daedalus is a comprehensive management solution designed specifically for independent auto repair shops. It consolidates various functions such as repair orders, estimates, customer approvals, invoicing, payments, and scheduling into a single accessible record. Service writers can provide the assistant with a brief outline, detailing the symptoms, parts used, and labor hours, and receive a preliminary priced estimate for review. No information is added to the repair order until it has received personal approval. Vehicle owners can monitor the progress of their repairs, authorize work, and complete payments via a branded portal that reflects the shop's identity. Additionally, the shop's data can be fully exported at any moment and is securely backed up each night, encrypted and stored in a dedicated bucket owned by the shop.
