About

Third Gear Shop is shop management software for independent mechanics and performance shops. Most shop tools are built around the repair order: car arrives, tech fixes it, car leaves. That works for a brake job and falls apart on a build that lives in the bay for two months across forty parts orders and three technicians. Track every job on a visual board from intake to pickup. Log parts and technician hours against the job as work happens, so labor cost and margin are known rather than guessed. Keep full customer and vehicle history, and generate an invoice from the job with parts, labor and tax already filled in. Shop Pro adds branded invoices, a customer job status portal, reporting on revenue by technician and margin per job, and expense tracking. A free Garage tier covers enthusiasts tracking their own project cars. Starter is $79/month for up to 5 technicians. Shop Pro is $149/month, unlimited technicians. No per-seat fees, no annual contract, 14-day free trial.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • This software is great for shop owners and their customers. Easy, intuitive, lightweight, web based, and all the transactional data you’ll need to monitor your trends. -Customer portal allows customers to pay in a variety of ways on the web, and allows them to look at all service history. -Shop portal allows for streamlined work distribution -Parts portal can integrate to several softwares -Payment to account time is less than 3 days. -Amazing Customer Support with fast resolution times

Cons

  • I think the interface could be spiced up visually, and I would like a little more control over the data that goes in and what I can delete - as well as some general formatting options to reflect alternate data management systems.
