Tire shop software
Tire Shop Software Built for the Walk-In Counter
Tire shops live on walk-ins. Someone pulls in with a flat or wants two used tires, and they want to be gone in twenty minutes. Most shop software makes you build a customer, a vehicle and a full repair order for a $25 plug. Wrench Node has a separate counter for that, and the rest of the system for everything else.
Fast Lane: ring up a walk-in in about two minutes
- No customer form required. Open a ticket, add the tires or the service, take payment. Add a name and phone only if you want them.
- Your own quick buttons. Set up the jobs you do all day, like mount and balance, flat repair, TPMS or oil change, with your prices.
- Several tickets open at once for when three cars pull in together.
- Still a real record. Every Fast Lane ticket is saved, shows up in your sales and tax reports, and can be found later.
Tire inventory that understands sizes
- Search the way you talk. Type 2756518 and get 275/65R18.
- Tire size and load/speed fields on every tire, plus a warning when you're about to add a duplicate.
- Stock comes off automatically when a tire goes on a ticket or repair order, and goes back if the ticket is voided.
- Sell 4 in one tap. Tires added from inventory default to a set of four.
Tire fees, added every time
Disposal fees and state tire fees are where tire shops quietly lose money, because someone forgets to add them at a busy counter. In Wrench Node you set your fees once, and one fee line is added per tire whenever a tire comes out of inventory. In Florida, for example, state law requires a $1.00 fee on each new tire sold.
Know what you sold
The tire report shows tires sold by size and brand, plus the per-tire fees you collected, for any date range. That's the number you need when you file state tire fees. The sales tax report keeps taxable and non-taxable sales separate, and the month-end report shows average ticket and gross profit. See reporting.
And everything a repair shop needs
Most tire shops also do brakes, alignments and suspension. Those jobs run through full repair orders with digital inspections (including tread depth), estimates customers approve by text, parts ordering from your suppliers, and text-to-pay invoices. One system, one login, unlimited users.

Frequently asked questions
What is Fast Lane?
Fast Lane is Wrench Node's walk-in counter for quick jobs like tires, flat repairs and oil changes. You ring up the sale and take payment without creating a customer record or a full repair order, so a walk-in takes about two minutes.
Can I search my tire inventory by size?
Yes. Type the size however you say it, like 2756518, and Wrench Node matches 275/65R18 in your stock. Tires have their own size and load/speed fields.
Does it add tire disposal and state tire fees?
Yes. You set your tire fees once in settings, for example disposal and your state's new tire fee, and they're added per tire whenever a tire comes out of inventory onto a ticket.
Can I do full repairs too?
Yes. Wrench Node is a complete shop management system: repair orders, estimates, inspections, parts ordering, labor times on Premium, texting, payments and reports. Fast Lane is one part of it.
How much does it cost?
Pro is $79/mo with unlimited users. Premium is $129/mo and adds live supplier parts pricing and Mitchell 1 labor times. No contract, 14-day free trial, free data migration.
