How it works
Set up your shop
Enter your labor rate, sales tax, shop supplies and parts markup once. Load sample data if you want to look around first.
Write the work
Create the estimate, inspect the vehicle, get approval and move it to a repair order for the tech on the bay board.
Get paid and close the books
Post the invoice, take payment and send your accountant QuickBooks-ready files — no retyping.
Made for the way shops actually work
At the counter
Explain the work, get the yes
Show the customer exactly what’s needed and what it costs — labor, parts, fees and tax are already worked out. Record the approval line by line so there are no surprises at pickup.
Under the lift
Inspect it once, sell it right
Techs mark each inspection point Good, Soon or Now right from a tablet. The findings land on the repair order for approval, and the customer gets a tidy PDF report.
In the parts room
Know what’s on the shelf
Every part used on an invoice comes off inventory automatically. On Business, low stock turns into a purchase order in one click and cores are tracked until the credit comes back.
On the shop floor

The bay board shows who is on which car and what’s next. Job punches show where the hours really go, so you can schedule tomorrow with confidence.

Frequently asked questions
What is auto repair shop management software?
It runs a shop’s daily work in one place: estimates, repair orders, invoices, appointments, technicians, parts and payments. ShopTorque also keeps the books and exports them to QuickBooks, Quicken and OFX.
How much does ShopTorque cost?
Pro is $89 a month ($890 a year) for shops with up to 3 technicians. Business is $159 a month ($1,590 a year) with unlimited technicians, purchase orders, cores and returns, and accounting-software exports. Every account starts with a 15-day trial with every feature and no card. There are only paid plans.
What happens when my trial ends, or if I cancel?
If you haven’t subscribed when the trial ends, your account becomes export-only: you can still sign in, download all of your data (CSV, Excel, PDF, QuickBooks, Quicken, OFX and a full JSON backup) or subscribe to pick up right where you left off. 7 days later the account and all of its data are permanently deleted. Cancelling a paid plan is one click on the Plan & billing page; you keep access to the end of the period you paid for, then the same 7-day export window applies.
What should an auto repair invoice include?
The customer and vehicle (VIN and mileage), the concern, cause and correction, labor, parts, sublet, shop supplies and fees, taxes and payments. ShopTorque builds the invoice from the repair order and produces a PDF.
What is a digital vehicle inspection (DVI)?
A checklist-based inspection that rates each item Good, Soon or Now, with measurements, notes and estimated prices. ShopTorque’s 33-point DVI pushes red and yellow findings onto the order for customer approval and prints a PDF report.
How do I track technician efficiency?
Compare flagged hours with clocked job hours. ShopTorque’s time clock records shift and job punches and reports efficiency, productivity and labor cost for flat-rate or hourly pay plans.
Does ShopTorque work with QuickBooks?
Yes, by export. Every plan exports Excel, CSV (including QuickBooks Online bank-upload files), PDF and a JSON backup. Business adds QuickBooks Desktop IIF files with invoices split into labor, parts, sublet, supplies and fees, plus QBO Web Connect, Quicken QFX and OFX files.
Can ShopTorque decode a VIN and track parts and cores?
Yes. It validates the 17-character VIN including the check digit, decodes the model year and maker, and can look up more from NHTSA’s free vPIC service. Parts inventory has bins and reorder points; Business adds purchase orders with partial receiving, cores from on hand to credited, and parts returns.
