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.
