The whole repair lifecycle. One tool.
From the customer's booking to the post-service follow-up, Autodots covers every step of the auto repair workflow — and the customer marketplace on autodots.io fills the bays in between.
Five steps, one platform
Every car that comes into your shop touches all five steps. Autodots covers each one — and the data carries forward.
Booking
Customer books online from autodots.io or you create the appointment manually.
Intake
Vehicle photos, mileage in, customer concerns — recorded on the job card.
Estimate
Services + parts + tax. Sent for e-signature on the customer's phone.
Repair
Workboard + mechanic time tracking + inspection photos as the work progresses.
Checkout
Invoice, online payment, Vehicle Passport entry, follow-up campaign.
No re-typing. No copy-paste. No tab-switching.
Every field flows forward. The customer's phone from booking goes into the estimate. The estimate's line items become the invoice. The invoice's parts deduct from inventory. The completed job lands in the Vehicle Passport. All automatic.
- Customer + vehicle entered once, reused everywhere
- Estimate-to-invoice in one click
- Inventory deducts as parts get billed
- Vehicle Passport updated automatically
Made for the way auto repair actually works
Generic shop software treats every job as a transaction. Autodots is built around a vehicle and the relationships that come with it.
Marketplace bookings
Customers find you on autodots.io and 1,500+ city/service pages — bookings drop into your appointments.
Built for the bay
Workboard, mechanic phone app, photo inspections, time tracking. Made for the way repair actually flows.
E-sign + online pay
Estimates approved on the customer's phone, invoices paid online — same flow start to finish.
Vehicle Passport
Service history that follows the car and the customer. The reason they come back next year.
Built for the bay floor
Mechanics work the lifecycle from a phone — start time, upload inspection photos, mark step complete. Every action flows back to the workboard.
- One-tap step transitions (intake → repair → ready)
- Photo inspections attached to job cards
- Customer auto-notified at each stage
- Works offline — syncs on reconnect

“Every step from booking to follow-up is in one place. The bays don't sit idle anymore — when a customer walks out, the next one is already booked through the marketplace.”
“The Vehicle Passport closes the loop. Customers come back six months later because we sent them their service history with their next-due date.”
