Meet the Tekmetric Mobile App: Auto Inspections for the New Era

In the fast-paced world of auto repair, every minute counts, and your technician's time is your greatest asset. Managing a business involves orchestrating diagnostics, repairs, customer interactions, and team coordination. With so much on your plate, having a tool that speeds up the inspection process and builds customer trust is invaluable.

Available for free across app stores, the Tekmetric Mobile App is designed to streamline your inspection process, boost productivity, and build stronger, more trusting relationships with your customers—all while increasing your shop's profitability.

The Freedom to Do More, Right from Your Phone

Time is money in auto repair. Every second technicians spend away from their primary tasks—like running back to the computer to log information or upload pictures—is time lost. The Tekmetric Mobile App brings everything your technicians need right to their fingertips.

With the app, technicians can complete digital vehicle inspections directly from their phones (iPhone or Android). No more clipboards or back-and-forth to the computer. They can take high-quality photos and videos, accurately document vehicle conditions, and perform detailed inspections on the spot. This keeps your team focused on repairing cars.

Cut Time Spent on Inspections in Half

The Tekmetric Mobile App is a productivity powerhouse. It streamlines the inspection workflow, allowing technicians to move seamlessly from one task to the next. The intuitive interface means there’s no steep learning curve—your team can start using it immediately, saving valuable time from day one.

Faster inspections mean more cars serviced each day, which directly translates to more revenue for your business.

Increase ARO by Adding Photos

Trust is everything in the auto repair industry. Customers need to know they can rely on you for honest, accurate assessments. The Tekmetric Mobile App helps build that trust by making it easy to communicate with customers.

Technicians can document vehicle conditions with detailed photos and videos, giving customers a clear, visual understanding of any issues. The app’s photo markup feature allows technicians to visually pinpoint exact issues on images without slowing down. This transparency helps customers feel more confident in your recommendations and fosters long-term relationships based on trust and satisfaction.

When customers see that you’re being upfront and thorough, they’re more likely to approve necessary repairs and return to your shop in the future. The Tekmetric Mobile App helps you build that kind of loyalty, one inspection at a time.

Boost Monthly Revenue by $15k

Profitability is key for any shop. According to the 2023 Industry Index, Tekmetric shops that add an average of 25 photos and videos to their inspections see their Average Repair Order (ARO) increase to $2500. The Tekmetric Mobile App is designed to help you achieve this by enhancing efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Faster inspections mean more vehicles serviced per day, leading to increased revenue. When customers trust your assessments, they’re more likely to approve additional services, further boosting your sales. Improved documentation accuracy also reduces the chance of errors and costly misunderstandings.

Smart Jobs is a revolutionary new way to build jobs in Tekmetric with just one click. Shop management software is meant to help you build jobs, and Tekmetric streamlines that process as much as possible.

A typical repair order may have one or more jobs packaged together, often requiring multiple steps: finding the right labor rates, sourcing parts, applying markup matrices, and more. That means an extra click for every single step. Most shop management systems require too many actions for what should be a one-click process.

Tekmetric set out to revolutionize the independent auto repair industry by simplifying and maximizing the work your shop does. Smart Jobs is designed to speed up your service writing significantly.

"Smart jobs is a must have, it'll speed up your service writing by a huge amount.” - Chris Chagnon, COO at the Cardinal Plaza Shell

While focusing on customer service and reliable repair work is important, your shop’s entire repair process should be consistent from beginning to end. Stellar processes for greeting customers, writing estimates, selling work, and completing work should be matched by a solid checkout process.

If done right, your shop’s invoicing process will enhance efficiency and leave a positive, lasting impression on customers. Invoices represent your shop’s transparency, giving customers visibility into exactly what they’re paying for. The more they understand an invoice, the more they can answer the question, “Okay, what am I paying for?”

Make your shop’s customers feel more at ease with easy-to-understand invoices. Here are four ways to simplify your shop's invoicing process.

As a digital solution for auto repair shops, Tekmetric understands the importance of maintaining the highest security possible. Not only do we want to ensure that our customers receive full transparency anytime their vehicle is in the shop, but we also understand the value of keeping customer data protected and secure.

Last year, Tekmetric achieved SOC 2 Type I compliance, and this year, SOC 2 Type II compliance. By earning both, Tekmetric continues to promote trust, transparency, and security throughout the industry.

What is SOC 2 Type II Compliance?

SOC 2 Type II compliance is awarded when a system meets five principles:

• ​Security: Protects the system against unauthorized access, ensuring customer data is only accessible to approved parties.
• ​Availability: Allows for stronger capabilities in monitoring performance, disaster recovery, and handling security incidents.
• ​Processing Integrity: Ensures information processed through the system is complete, authorized, and accurate.
• ​Confidentiality: Assures that customer data remains confidential within your system.
• ​Privacy: Ensures data is used specifically for its intended purpose.

What is SOC 2 Type I vs. Type II?

• ​Type I: Describes how security and compliance controls are designed at a specific point in time.
• ​Type II: Describes the design and operating effectiveness over a period of time (typically 6-12 months).

What Does It Mean for My Shop?

With SOC 2 Type II compliance, Tekmetric keeps all information you put into the system secure, from your shop’s data to your customers’ information. This happens automatically—no need to track backups or review access. You can assure your customers that their sensitive information is safe.

Protecting Data in the Long-Term

Tekmetric is committed to driving positive change in the auto repair industry by promoting accessibility and transparency. Achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance demonstrates that Tekmetric meets and surpasses industry standards. By combining a leading shop management solution with top-class data security, Tekmetric supports you and your shop in protecting data—without slowing your team down.
