Real shop floor. Real brake job. Nothing staged.

The repair orders, estimates, and scheduling you have now. The difference: the writing, sending, answering, and remembering run on their own.

02  Less typing

Say a little. It writes the rest.

Four hand-offs on one repair order. Each one takes a few words from a person and the system does the typing, the pricing, and the follow-up.

01 · CallThe phone gets answered
AI answers

Nobody is free, so the assistant picks up, gets the vehicle and the concern, and books the slot.

No typing line items, no calling around for prices. Labor time comes from Mitchell1 book time. Parts come from the shop's own suppliers, priced live inside the repair order: pick one and it lands on the estimate, ready to order.

Vehicle: 2019 BMW X5

1. You reported issues with the brakes. During our inspection we found the front brake pads are worn down to 2mm. This is below the safe level, so they need to be replaced.

2. We also discovered that the front brake rotors need to be replaced.

3. Additionally, we found a leak in the water pump, which could lead to coolant loss. This needs further evaluation.

4. The air filter is dirty, and we recommend replacing it.

5. The left rear CV boot is torn. This could let dirt damage the CV axle, so replacement is recommended.

Questions

Before you try it

How much does Wrench Node cost?

$79 a month for the whole shop. Unlimited users, no per-seat fees and no contract. The first 30 days are free.

Do my techs have to type inspections?

No. The tech says what they found, like "front pads at 3mm, both rotors scored", and Wrench Node marks each item on the inspection checklist good, needs attention or urgent, records the measurement and writes a comment for the customer. The tech reviews it before it is sent.

What happens to work the customer declines?

It stays on the vehicle as declined. Up to twice a day, Wrench Node looks for declined work from the last 12 months and customers who haven't been back in 6 months or more, and writes a text or email from the original repair order. You review it and send. Nobody gets a follow-up twice within 30 days.

Is Wrench Node available in Spanish?

Yes. Every screen works in English and Spanish. The shop switches languages in Settings.
