Description
Third Gear Shop offers management software tailored for independent mechanics and performance garages. While many shop applications focus on the traditional repair order process—where a vehicle arrives, gets serviced, and then departs—this approach can falter during lengthy projects that involve multiple parts orders and several technicians. With Third Gear Shop, users can monitor every task visually, from the moment a car is brought in to the time it is picked up. As work progresses, both parts and technician hours can be logged against the job, providing precise labor costs and profit margins rather than relying on estimates. The software maintains comprehensive records of customer and vehicle histories and automatically generates invoices that include parts, labor, and tax details. The Shop Pro version enhances the experience with personalized invoices, a portal for customers to check job statuses, detailed reporting on technician revenue and job margins, and expense management features. Additionally, there is a free Garage tier available for car enthusiasts wishing to track their own projects. The Starter plan is priced at $79 per month for a maximum of five technicians, while the Shop Pro plan costs $149 per month and allows for unlimited technicians. There are no fees per seat, no long-term contracts, and a 14-day free trial is offered to new users. This flexibility makes Third Gear Shop an appealing option for various types of automotive businesses.
