How it works

From the tow truck to the test drive.

Every stage opens the screen for the work done there. Finish the work and the car moves on by itself, and the customer's phone updates. Nobody drags cards around or re-types notes.

Check inAt the counter

Ask the right questions. Intake asks what a good service writer would, scans the VIN with a phone, and records a stamped walkaround video.

InspectIn the bay

Show, don't tell. The tech records what they found with video, photos and voice notes. Findings become estimate lines in one tap.

Approve and repairParts, labor, paint

Yes, line by line. The customer approves from their phone. Parts get priced and ordered, and the tech's clock runs against the approved work.

Paid before they arrive. Passing the final check builds the invoice and texts the customer. They pay from the link, and the review request follows.

Three apps, one repair order

The counter, the bay and the driveway, in sync.

One repair order moves from the front desk to the technician to the customer's phone without anyone typing it twice. Every screen carries your shop's name.

Video approvals

Customers say yes to what they can see.

Put a short video or photo on every estimate line. The customer watches it on their phone and approves line by line, and you know exactly who said yes to what.

  • Evidence that holds upWalkaround and damage clips are stamped with the date, time, repair order, plate and mileage on every frame.
  • Fewer phone callsSee who watched, send a reminder in one tap, or record a yes taken over the phone.
  • Sign and pay from anywhereApprovals, signatures and payments happen in the same tracker, with Wisetack financing on bigger jobs.

Everything included

One system for the whole shop.

No add-on menus and no modules to unlock. Collision shops, mechanical shops and shops that do both get the whole system.

At the counter

Repair orders and estimatesSave your common jobs as bundles. One tap adds the labor and parts, priced with your labor rate and parts markup.

Digital vehicle inspection

Show them the car. Let them decide.

The full color-coded report lands on the customer's tracker. No pressure, and no more "can you explain it again?" phone calls.

  • GoodChecked and healthy. Saved to the car's history in My Garage.
  • Coming up soonNot urgent. Octane remembers it, so you're the shop that reminds them.
  • Needs attentionPriced from your job bundles and added to the repair order when approved.

For body shops

Follow every claim to the check.

Every repair order is customer pay or insurance. Insurance jobs follow the claim, bill the deductible and the carrier's share separately, and show what each carrier owes by age.

  1. 1Reported
  2. 2Adjuster inspection
  3. 3Estimate sent
  4. 4Approved
  5. 5Supplement
  6. 6Paid

Import the estimate from CCC ONE, Mitchell or Audatex and it becomes repair order lines and a parts list. Share photos and documents with the adjuster through a claim file that needs no login.

Every carrier, every personAdjusters, appraisers, desk reviewers, DRP reps and billing contacts, kept per carrier.
Supplements without the chaseHidden damage photos go to the adjuster from the repair order, and the claim status updates for everyone.
Two-part billingThe customer pays their deductible and anything they added. The carrier's share is tracked until it's paid.

Questions

What shop owners ask us.

Something else on your mind? Book a demo and ask us directly.

Do my customers see my shop's brand, not yours?

Yes. The shop floor app and the customer tracker carry your shop's name, logo and colors. Customers open their tracker from a text, with nothing to download.

Does it work for body shops and mechanical shops?

Both. Repair orders follow collision stages or mechanical stages, and shops that do both get both. Body shops also get the insurance and claims tools.

Can I move over from Tekmetric, Shopmonkey or Mitchell?

Yes. Setup includes bringing your customers and cars over from Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, Mitchell or a spreadsheet, so you're not starting from a blank screen.

Can I import estimates from CCC ONE or Mitchell?

Yes. Export the estimate file from CCC ONE, Mitchell or Audatex, and Octane turns it into repair order lines and a parts list.

Does it work with QuickBooks?

Octane syncs with QuickBooks Online. You can check the connection any time in Settings.

Can customers pay over time?

Yes, through Wisetack. Add your Wisetack link, choose a minimum amount, and a "Pay over time" option shows on estimates and invoices above it.

How much does it cost?

We'll walk you through plans on your demo, once we've seen how your shop runs.
