Automotive Services

Your shop software runs the front. Your books live somewhere else. We make sure the numbers actually connect.

Two Systems, No Connection

You’ve got shop management software. Work orders, estimates, customer history, parts lookups. It runs the business. Then somewhere else, maybe a shoebox, maybe QuickBooks nobody’s opened in months, there’s supposed to be accounting happening.

The two don’t talk. The shop software knows you billed $47,000 last month. Your books say something different. Or nothing at all. When tax time comes, someone has to reconcile the mess. Usually that someone is expensive.

We bridge the gap. Your shop runs the way it runs. We make sure the financial side keeps up.

Parts and Labor

Every shop has two businesses inside it. Parts and labor. You probably have a sense of which one makes more money. But a sense isn’t a number.

Are you actually hitting your labor margin or is unbilled time eating into it? Is your parts markup holding up or are you discounting more than you realize? When a tech comes back to redo a job, what’s that costing you?

Labor Tracking

Billed hours vs actual hours. Flat rate efficiency. Comebacks. We help you see what your labor is actually producing.

Parts Margin

Cost vs sale, tracked properly. Are you making the margin you think you’re making? The answer is usually lower than expected.

Inventory Eats Cash

You need parts on the shelf to do the work. But every part sitting there is cash you can’t use for something else. Order too much and you’re tight. Order too little and you’re running to the parts store twice a day.

The balance is hard to get right. Especially when you’re not tracking inventory properly. Stuff walks off. Cores don’t come back. Warranty parts sit in a bin for months. It adds up.

Inventory Management

What’s on the shelf, what it cost, and how fast it moves. Stop guessing and start managing.

Cash Flow Visibility

See how much cash is tied up in parts and plan purchases around actual need, not habit.

Who We Work With

Auto repair shops. Body and collision. Oil change and quick lube. Tire dealers. Detailing. Car washes. Towing. Each one has its own quirks, but the fundamentals are the same: parts, labor, cash flow, and books that need to reflect reality.

Repair and Body Shops

Work orders, parts, labor, insurance claims, supplements. We track it so you know what’s profitable and what’s just keeping the lights on.

Car Washes and Detailing

High volume, thin margins, membership revenue. Different model, same need for clean books and clear numbers.

Towing

More like trucking than a shop. Dispatch, fuel costs, truck maintenance, rotation lists. We understand the difference.

Quick Service

Oil changes, tires, brakes. Fast turns, lots of transactions. Easy to lose track of margins when cars are moving through all day.
