Mobile mechanic software that runs the whole job from your phone.
No shop, no counter, no back office — just you, your van, and a phone. That's what mobile mechanic software has to fit, and ShopOS does: bookings arrive with the address attached, you photograph the car and send the estimate from the driveway, and take payment on the spot. A front desk, from your phone.
Book jobs by where the car actually is.
A mobile job isn't just a time slot — it's a time and a place. Customers book you from a link, pick a service, and drop the address where the vehicle is, which opens straight in Google Maps so you can plan the drive.
- Customers book by service and address — where the car is, not a shop calendar
- The address opens in Google Maps — no copy-pasting between apps
- One shared schedule, so a second van sees the same board
Quote and inspect from the driveway.
Pop the hood, photograph what's wrong, and the customer sees it on their phone before you've said a word — then approves the estimate on the spot.
- Photograph each finding on the car and send it to the customer's phone
- The inspection becomes the estimate — no re-typing in a spreadsheet later
- One-tap approval, so you're not waiting on a callback while parked beside the vehicle
Get paid before you leave.
The worst part of mobile work is chasing money after you've driven away. ShopOS builds the invoice from the repair order and takes payment right there — before you pack up.
- Invoice straight from the job, on your phone
- Take card or a pay link on-site — no “I’ll send a check”
- Payment status updates the repair order automatically
Take a deposit before you buy the part.
You don't stock parts — you buy the exact part for the job in front of you. So when a customer changes their mind after you've ordered it, you're the one out of pocket. ShopOS lets you collect a deposit the moment they approve — before you buy anything — so that risk sits with the customer, not you.
Taken at approval
Collect a deposit at approval, before you order the part.
Sized to the job
Set it as a flat amount, a percentage, or parts-only — whatever fits the job.
Applied on its own
The deposit applies automatically to the final invoice — nothing to reconcile.
Fewer write-offs
Far fewer “I changed my mind” losses on special-order and non-returnable parts.
Don't lose the next job to a missed call.
You're under a car or driving between stops — you can't answer. The AI receptionist picks up, answers, and books the next vehicle straight onto your calendar.
- Every call answered, even mid-job or after hours
- New bookings land on your schedule automatically
- Keeps your existing number — nothing to change
Going mobile means no shop — but the front-desk work still has to happen. ShopOS is your front desk, from your phone.
Notebook, texts, and a card reader
- The address arrives in a text, and you retype it into Maps at every stop.
- You describe the worn part down the phone, so the customer is approving something they cannot see.
- The invoice gets written up that night, hours after you drove away.
- You order the special part yourself, and eat the cost when the customer backs out.
ShopOS on your phone
- Every booking arrives with the address on it, and the address opens in Google Maps.
- You photograph the worn part on the car, so the customer approves what they can see.
- The invoice is built from the job and paid beside the vehicle, before you pack up.
- The deposit is collected at approval, before the part is ordered, so the risk sits with the customer.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a shop or office to use it?
No. ShopOS runs entirely from your phone — booking, inspections, estimates, invoicing, and payment all happen wherever the car is.
Can I invoice and take payment on my phone?
Yes — build the invoice from the job and take card or an online payment on the spot, right next to the vehicle, no back-office step.
Does it work for a one-person operation?
Yes. Per-shop pricing with every login included, so a solo mobile mechanic pays the same flat price whether it's just you or you plus a second van.
Can customers book me by location?
Yes — the booking form takes the address where the car is, and it opens in Google Maps so every job comes in with where to go.
