What we are

The command center for independent repair shops.

Service Wrench replaces the whiteboard, paper ROs, spreadsheet, and phone tag with one fast workspace — from check-in to keys-out.

The job

How a job moves through the shop

Built around the real day of a service advisor and tech — not generic project management.

01 · Intake → board

Cars land on the board. Everyone stops asking.

Walk-ins and appointments become repair orders on a live board. Status is the source of truth — not the whiteboard, not a text thread.

  • Scheduled jobs show up before they arrive
  • Writers and techs share one queue
  • You can read the whole shop in a glance

02 · Inspect with proof

The bay tells the story. The PDF closes it.

Digital multi-point inspections with photos and flagged findings. Customers trust what they can see — and the writer isn’t retyping the tech’s notes.

  • Findings carry priority so the estimate is honest
  • Branded inspection PDF they can forward
  • Printable work orders for the tech

03 · Estimate & approve

Build it once. They approve from the parking lot.

The estimate is the same document the shop works from. Text the approval link. They tap yes. You watch it flip to Approved without picking up the phone.

  • One estimate, not a stack of revisions on paper
  • Approval in under a minute on a phone
  • The board moves the second they tap

04 · Parts in the flow

Inventory isn’t a side spreadsheet.

Parts, markup, and vendors sit on the RO. When you invoice, stock moves with the job — not in a binder after closing.

  • Catalog parts drop onto estimates
  • Markup you set, not guess
  • Receiving on POs updates the shelf

05 · Track the work

Techs punch the job. You see the hours.

Day clock and job punches so labor isn’t a rumor. Advisors see actual vs billed while the car is still in the bay — not at month-end.

  • Punch to the RO, not a paper time card
  • Who’s on the clock, on the dashboard
  • Efficiency that isn’t a surprise

06 · Collect & release

Ready for Pickup only means ready.

Invoices and payment status live on the last column. Keys stay put until it’s paid. The handoff is the close — not the start of collections.

  • One-click invoice from approved work
  • Paid / unpaid on the pickup card
  • The counter never has to guess
