AI That Actually Learns

Every repair your shop completes is a lesson. Most software just stores it. We actually learn from it. So the next time you see a similar problem, you already know what worked.

Tech Submits Notes. Everything Else Happens.

When a technician submits their notes, AI takes over. No extra clicks needed.

1

Tech submits notes

Technician types their findings: "Front brake pads at 2mm, rotors scored, recommend replacement. Rear pads at 5mm."

2

Customer notes auto-generatedAutomatic

AI converts tech language into customer-friendly findings that stream into the advisor's section in real-time. No rewriting needed.

3

Parts & labor auto-added to estimateAutomatic

AI reads the findings, figures out what labor and parts are needed, and adds them as line items with book-time hours and estimated prices. The estimate is ready before the advisor even looks at it.

What used to take 15 minutes of back-and-forth now takes zero.

More Things That Just Happen

Less clicking, fewer mistakes. These workflows run themselves.

Inspection → Line Items & Tech Notes
Complete an inspection and flagged items automatically get appended to tech notes and become line items on the RO.
Estimate → Customer Email
Move an RO to "pending approval" and the customer gets an email with an approval link. They approve or decline items, no phone tag.
Customer Approves → RO Updates
When the customer approves, the RO status transitions automatically and totals recalculate based on which items they approved.
Completed → Vehicle Ready Email
Mark an RO as completed and the customer automatically gets a "your vehicle is ready" notification with pickup details.
Invoice → Pay Now Link
Mark an RO as invoiced and the customer gets an email with a Pay Now button. Stripe handles the rest: card, Apple Pay, Google Pay.
Payment → Auto-Close RO
When a payment comes in, a receipt email is sent automatically. If the balance hits zero, the RO transitions to "paid". No manual step.

What shops actually save

Real numbers from real workflows. This is what the AI handles so your team does not have to.

45 min
saved per repair order

AI writes the tech notes, builds the estimate, and populates line items from the inspection. No more typing the same things over and over.

$1,200+
recovered per month from declined services

Automated follow-up emails go out to every customer who declined a service. Most shops recover 15-20% of those jobs without a single phone call.

15%
fewer no-shows

Appointment reminders go out automatically. Customers confirm or reschedule before the slot is lost.

2-3 days
faster to get paid

Invoice emails include a Pay Now link. Customers pay from their phone with a card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. No more waiting for pickup.

100%
of customers followed up automatically

Manually, follow-up almost never happens. With WrenchNode it runs on every RO, every time, without anyone on your team lifting a finger.

Zero
phone tag on estimate approvals

Customers get an email with a link to approve or decline each line item. Their answer updates the RO instantly. No back-and-forth.
