About

Apex Mechanic is cloud-based shop-management software for independent automotive repair businesses, including general repair, tire, performance, fleet-service, and quick-lube shops. It combines customer and vehicle records, appointments, online booking, work orders, estimates, invoices, inventory, and customer messaging. Staff can prepare itemized estimates with parts, labor, services, taxes, and notes, send them to customers for approval, and convert approved estimates into invoices. The system also supports appointment reminders and requests for Google reviews. Shop owners can use the web application and mobile app to manage appointments, estimates, invoices, and customer conversations. A separate Apex Auto app helps vehicle owners find repair shops, request estimates, book service, message shops, and keep vehicle service history. This supports day-to-day repair workflow and customer communication in one platform.
