How to run your mechanic & auto repair business with TheCEOApp
TheCEOApp team ·
A workshop has several cars at once, each at a different stage, each with parts bought on the customer's behalf. The question "how far with my car?" should have an answer without a phone call to the apprentice.
TheCEOApp tracks each car as a job, step by step, with its parts and costs.
Every car, step by step
Each repair moves through your steps: diagnosis, repair, test drive, ready for pickup. You see which cars are at which step.
Parts and labour on one bill
Add the parts used, with part numbers, and the labour on the same sale, so the customer sees what they paid for.
Customers who pay later
Part payments stay on the customer's name, with a WhatsApp reminder for the balance.
Record every sale in seconds
Add what you sell once, for example engine oil (4L), oil filter and brake pads, and services like full servicing, engine repair and gearbox repair. Suggestions for a mechanic & auto repair come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.
Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the customer on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.
Keep stock the way you count it
Count stock by piece, set, pair, litre and gallon. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the customer wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out. You can record each product's part number, so you know exactly what is on the shelf.
Track each job from start to finish
Every job moves through your own steps (typically 1 day), with the deposit, costs and profit beside it:
- Diagnosis
- Repair
- Test drive
- Ready for pickup
