The Shop Commander® app brings your repair orders, customer texts, digital inspections, and appointments to your iPhone or Android — and puts the camera to work: scan a VIN, a plate, or the odometer and the write-up fills itself in. Push notifications land the second a customer approves an estimate, books online, or arrives at your counter.
Free on both stores · one account for app, tablet, and web · VIN, plate & odometer scanning built in


Point the camera at the VIN barcode, the printed VIN, or the licence plate — the vehicle decodes and the write-up starts itself. Scan the odometer straight off the cluster, with an optional photo attached to the work order. You confirm every result, and recognition runs entirely on your phone.
Every screen updates live. When a customer approves an estimate from their phone, your whole team knows the same second — on the app, the tablet, and the web.
Estimate approvals, incoming customer texts, new online bookings, job assignments, and customer arrivals — even when the app is closed. Choose exactly which alerts you get.
Document vehicles with your phone’s camera, mark up photos on-screen, and send customers a link with severity ratings and one-tap estimate approval.
Techs sign in and land straight on their own day — what’s next, what’s active, what’s waiting on parts or review. Start the Work Timer, run the inspection, flag a blocker — all from the phone in their pocket.
The full message center in your pocket. Reply to customers, send estimates and invoices by text, and attach photos straight from the camera.
Create repair orders, schedule appointments, assign technicians, and take authorizations from the service lane, the lot, or the couch.
Like everything in Shop Commander: every feature, every user, both apps. No tiers, no seats, no paywalls.
Set up your shop free on the web, then sign in on the app with the same account.
