Quotes, written approvals, scheduling, invoices and payment in one place. Plus a front desk that texts back the calls you miss at 2am. It was built in a busy repair shop, not in a boardroom.
A quote goes out. The customer taps yes on their phone. The job lands on the board. The invoice gets paid. That is the loop your shop lives in, and this is it running.
Real screens from a real shop. Names and plates are changed.
We would have loved to hire a camera crew. A good one costs a few thousand dollars and takes a month to schedule, shoot and cut. We used AI instead. It explains the software just as well, and it cost a rounding error.
That is the same reason Shop Desk is $149 a month and not $400. We build with AI, so we carry a smaller team, and the saving goes to you instead of to our payroll. You are not paying for our film crew, our sales floor or our office lease. You are paying for software that works.
We use AI inside the product for the same reason. It drafts your quote lines, it suggests a labor time for you to accept or edit, it answers repair questions, and it texts back the calls nobody could pick up. It never replaces your judgment. It removes the typing.
Better, and cheaper to you. That is the whole trade.
You are a good mechanic. That was never in doubt. What eats your week is everything around the wrench.
From the first ring to the last dollar. No second app, no spreadsheet on the side.
Build the lines, send one link. The customer sees the price, the parts and the labor in plain language. AI drafts the first version so you are editing, not typing.
One signature covers the price and the authorization to work. It is stamped with the time, and the lines freeze at that moment. No more he said she said.
Every job on one screen with its stage, its tech and what it is waiting on. The dashboard tells you what is stuck before the customer calls to ask.
The invoice builds itself from the job that was actually done. Send it, take the card, and the job closes when the money lands.
Your tech shoots the worn pad on their phone and it is on the quote. Customers approve faster when they can see the part.
Their own link showing the quote, the approval, the photos and the invoice. It cuts the where is my car calls to almost nothing.
Missed calls get a text back in seconds, day or night, in your shop's voice. It knows a returning customer from a stranger and it never quotes a price nobody approved.
What you paid last time, which supplier came through, and which cores are still owed back. Your buying history stops living in your head.
Flat rate, hourly or commission, run against the jobs your techs actually closed. Pro plan.
Look up the vehicle and get the service intervals, the specs and any open recall, without leaving the job.
Walk the car, tick the sheet, send it. The customer gets a green, yellow and red report they can read.
Export your customers any time. We do not hold your book hostage to keep you subscribed.
These are screenshots from the desk our own advisors work on every day.
Sign up, use it, and decide later. We do not ask for a card on either plan.
The first 50 shops keep this rate for life. The price is stamped onto your account the day you subscribe. When we raise it, yours does not move.
The full software terms are in writing. Read Shop Desk Software and Subscriptions before you subscribe.
Both of these are on our feature list, and both are easy to read the wrong way. Here is exactly what they are.
Shop Desk opens those guides from inside the job, so you are not hunting for a tab. They are links into your own account. There is no shared feed and no subscription hiding in your $149. What we do add is an AI suggested labor time you accept or edit, and it is only ever asked for hours, never for a price.
Taking cards means getting your shop onto its own payment gateway. That is a short call with us, not a checkbox at sign up. Shop Desk refuses to run a card against another shop's merchant account on purpose, because money landing in the wrong place is worse than waiting a few days.
Every Shop Desk account comes with a profile on MechanicRank, the directory drivers use to find an honest shop. It is free, and it is how a lot of our own work arrives.
On Pro you can also take jobs we have already booked. We answer the call, get the name, the plate, the address and the fault, put it on your calendar, and write it straight into your Shop Desk. You pick up a vehicle, not a voicemail.
Getting found is the cheap half. What you do with the lead after it lands is the half that pays. That is the part Shop Desk runs.
Yes. It is not a 14 day trial with a countdown. It holds 100 customers with their vehicles and history, and gives you 25 AI repair answers a month. No card is taken at sign up on either plan.
Most shops are quoting on it the same afternoon. Send us your customer list in a spreadsheet and we will load it for you, including vehicles and past work.
The tech side is a phone screen with the job, the lines and a camera button. If they can send a text, they can run it. The advisor does the rest at the desk.
Four things. It drafts quote lines from what you describe. It suggests a book time you accept or edit. It answers repair questions with the manual behind it. It texts back missed calls in your shop's voice.
It does not price the job on its own, it does not approve anything, and it does not talk to a customer about money you have not signed off on.
You do. Export it any time. We would rather keep you because the software is good than because leaving is painful.
Supercanic, a 24 hour repair shop at 1685 S State St in San Jacinto, California, built with Clickflame. Every screen exists because the shop needed it that week. We eat our own cooking every single day.
Free plan, no card, no call with a sales rep. If it does not fit your shop, close the tab and you have lost ten minutes.
