About

AutoHound is cloud-based shop-management software for collision repair businesses. It coordinates repair orders from booking and vehicle check-in through production, parts ordering and receiving, quality checks, delivery, payment, and reporting. Shops can keep writing estimates in CCC ONE, Mitchell, Audatex, or AdjustRite; a Windows connector imports estimates and supplements into repair records. Staff document vehicle condition with photos and signatures, track assignments and blockers on a production board, manage parts and returns, and share private repair-status and payment links with customers. AutoHound includes English and Spanish staff screens and customer messages, QuickBooks Online sync, PPG PaintManager and PPG LINQ connections, mobile access, and multi-location controls. It supports independent and multi-shop collision businesses, fleet repair accounts, and heavy-duty repair workflows.

About

FixVault is cloud-based management software for electronics repair shops. Repair tickets record IMEI or serial numbers, unlock codes, device condition and photos, with multiple devices per ticket. Staff manage estimates, customer e-signatures, invoices and credit notes, repair-status updates, warranty records, after-sales service and online customer tracking. A point of sale includes a French fiscal journal, closings and Z reports. Parts inventory supports variants, barcodes and IMEI tracking, supplier records and purchase orders. The system supports device buybacks and police-register records, SMS, email, WhatsApp and Messenger, and AI estimate and diagnostic assistance. Shops can connect supported payment terminals and online payment services. Designed for independent repair shops and small chains serving phones, tablets, computers, consoles and e-scooters, FixVault runs in a web browser, hosts data in France and uses nightly encrypted backups.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • AutoHound has made managing our body shop much easier. One of our favorite features is the customer texting. We can communicate with customers directly from the software, automatically send updates about their vehicles, and keep everything organized in one place. The internal chat and vendor and sublet messaging is also very useful. The back office and the floor can communicate quickly without having to constantly find each other. The reporting is also really good. It’s easy to see what’s happening in the shop and see how the business is performing. Having all this information in one system saves us a lot of time.
  • We already use CCC ONE for estimating, so being able to bring that estimate information into AutoHound is useful for our shop. Once it is connected to the repair order, we can review it alongside the parts, photos, notes, and repair progress. I like being able to use the production board to follow the job after the estimate is written. The team can check the repair information and see what needs attention as the vehicle moves through the shop and keeps our customers up to date automatically. It gives us a practical way to connect the estimating side with the daily management of the repair.

Cons

  • We are still learning some of the features, but overall our experience has been very positive. The team has been helpful whenever we have questions.
  • We have not had any major problems with AutoHound in the work we use it for.
