Auto Repair Shop OS

Most auto shops don't fail because they lack skill. They fail because they drown in sticky notes, WhatsApp messages, and "bro, I'll call you back."

This Notion system fixes that.

A daily operations command center built for real auto repair shops. The small, high-trust ones where the owner knows every customer by name, technicians wear multiple hats, and every minute wasted hurts profit.

Designed for 1-10 person shops who don't want clunky enterprise software or $150/month subscriptions. But also don't want a glorified spreadsheet pretending to be a "template."

What changes when you use this:

→ Every work order flows from quote to approved to in progress to paid to picked up. No jobs vanishing into the void. → Customer and vehicle history lives in one place. "Didn't we replace that last year?" takes 5 seconds to answer. → Profit, parts cost, labor cost, and margin calculated on every job. You know what you actually made. → You see what each tech is working on and who's overloaded. No more "I thought you were handling that." → "Waiting for customer approval" jobs stop getting lost. Flags surface them automatically. → Professional emails go out without typing from scratch. 15+ templates written in actual shop tone. → You start and end each day knowing exactly what's pending.

This isn't a cute Notion layout. It's a tool you'll actually run your shop from.

What's inside:

Dashboards:

• Shop owner control panel
• Technician "today's work" board
• Work order pipeline
• Customer and vehicle CRM
• Task manager
• Team and labor tracking

Smart databases:

• Work Orders with profit math built in
• Tasks linked to jobs
• Customers and Vehicles
• Team members and labor rates
• Status and priority rules
• Overdue flags and ready-for-pickup alerts

15+ email templates: Approval requests. Upsell messages. Apology emails. Follow-ups. Maintenance reminders. All written for how shops actually talk to customers.

Full setup guidance included.

Built for the middle ground:

Most shop software overloads you with features you'll never touch. Most Notion templates look nice but fall apart under real use.

This hits the sweet spot:

✅ Real business systems ✅ Affordable (one purchase, no subscriptions) ✅ Mobile-friendly for the shop floor ✅ No coding required ✅ Customizable as you scale

This is for:

• Shops with 1-10 technicians
• Mobile mechanics
• Startup garages
• Owners upgrading from Excel and WhatsApp
• Anyone who wants visibility without complexity

Not for:

• Dealerships
• Chains with 10+ bays
• Shops needing VIN decoding and integrated payments

Let's keep it real.

Bottom line:

Your shop deserves better than sticky notes and "I think he called yesterday?"

Run your shop like you mean it.
