Booking software for US vehicle inspection shops.

A pre-purchase inspection is the job a buyer books before they wire the money, and a state inspection is the one the calendar books for them. Both belong on your page.

Online booking

Buyers book the inspection themselves

Your inspections sit on your page at their real length and their real price, so a car takes a bay that is genuinely open instead of a promise.

Smart scheduling

Your bays, hour by hour, on one board

Every inspection on one timeline at the length it really takes, so two cars never share a lift and an open hour is easy to see and sell.

Deals close on a deadline. Say yes to it.

A buyer with an offer in has days, not weeks. When your page is full, the worst thing it can do is show them a wall and let them go elsewhere.

  • A request instead of a lost customer

    When nothing fits, they leave the vehicle, the date they are working to and a phone number, and it lands as a thread you can actually answer.

  • Answered right in the thread

    Accept and it becomes a real booking in the bay you choose. Decline and it closes politely. Neither one costs you a phone call.

  • Nothing gets sold twice

    Two cars cannot take one bay at one time. The database refuses the overlap however the booking arrived, so the board always tells the truth.

A booking request inside a message thread, answered with accept or decline without leaving the conversation.

A dozen short jobs, not four long ones.

An inspection day is built out of half hours. Move one car and everything behind it still has to work by closing time.

  • Drag it to a new time

    A car shows up late or an inspector goes home sick. Drag the job to another time or another person and commit all the changes together.

  • Only the hours you are open

    Hours come off each inspector, and the hours nobody is on are hatched out, so your page can never sell a slot after you have closed.

  • A no-show is its own status

    A car that never showed is marked as a no-show on the booking, so the slot reads as lost rather than quietly as completed.

Re-inspection

A fail books the next visit.

A pass ends the job. A fail starts a second one, and the re-inspection belongs against the same vehicle rather than in a fresh file.

  • Booked against the same vehicle

    The first visit, what it found and the quote you wrote from it are already on the record, so nothing is typed twice.

  • Both visits in one list

    The first check and the one it sent back sit in the same filterable list, so a vehicle waiting on you is never invisible.

  • The window is yours to hold

    Put the return visit in the slot you can actually give it, and it holds against everything else on the board.

What you book

Every check that comes through the workshop

Pre-purchase inspection for a private buyer

The big one. A long, thorough appointment for someone about to spend real money, priced as its own service and booked straight off your page.

An out-of-state buyer sending you a car

They are three states away and cannot come. The seller brings it in, the buyer talks to you in one thread, and the record holds it all.

A dealership trade-in appraisal

A lot that wants a straight answer on a car it is about to take in. Booked back to back under one customer, each car keeping its own record.

State safety inspection where your state runs one

Short, fixed and on a date the sticker already set. Its own service with its own length, so it never shares a slot with a long inspection.

Emissions or smog testing

A different program with a different length again. Give it its own duration and price and the page books the right amount of bay time.

Re-inspection after repairs

A second visit against the same vehicle, with the first inspection and whatever you quoted off it already sitting on the record.

Repairs quoted from what you found

Pads, rotors, a leaking axle seal. Itemized while the car is still on the lift and sent to the customer before they leave the lobby.

Fleet inspections for a local operator

A run of vehicles from one company, booked in sequence under one customer, each with its own history rather than one long note.

RV, truck and trailer inspections

Bigger vehicles, longer appointments, sometimes a specific bay. Each is its own service, so the board is not built from one block size.

A rush inspection before a sale closes

They need it tomorrow. When nothing is open they leave a request with the deadline on it, and you answer it in the thread.

A customer profile with their address, contact details, total spent and outstanding balance.

Every visit that vehicle has made.

The check, what it failed on, the repairs you quoted and the money that came in, in one line each and in order.

Pro

Everything you found, priced before they decide.

A buyer wants a number, not a verdict. Itemize what the car needs while it is still on the lift and get it to them before they call the seller.

  • Approved online, not on paper

    They type their name to approve and it is stamped with the time, so the go-ahead on a set of rotors is in writing before you touch the car.

  • Approval books the work in

    The approved quote turns into a booking carrying its own lines, so the car is back in a bay without anybody writing the job out twice.

  • A price that expires on its own

    Put a use-by date on it and the number lapses by itself, so a quote from the spring cannot come back at you in the fall as current.

The items a vehicle needs put right, itemised and sent from the workshop.

Get paid at the counter, or before they show.

A fixed-price inspection should never turn into a chase. Take it as they book, take it when the keys come over, or write it up afterward.

  • Cash and transfer are free, always

    Record a cash or bank transfer payment by hand with the date it landed, on any plan. We never charge you to write down money you were handed.

  • Cards come with Pro

    Card payments, on the booking page or at the counter, are the one part of the money story that needs Pro. Everything else is on the free plan.

  • It goes straight to your account

    Card money is paid out by Stripe into your own account. We never hold your money and never sit between you and it.

One app for every booking

Everything you need to run your vehicle inspection business.

Online booking

Your own page with the pre-purchase inspection and your short checks on it, each at its real length and price, taking a bay that is open.

Scheduling

Every inspection on one day view, so a lift never takes two cars at once and a walk-in drops into the first gap that is genuinely free.

Bookings

Every car you have in today, from the one on the lift to the one coming back for a re-inspection, in one list you can filter and sort.

Estimates

Itemize the pads, rotors and tires the car needs, send it while it is still on the lift, and let the customer approve it from a phone.

Customers

Every customer and every vehicle they have brought you, with the plate and each inspection you have run on it kept on the one record.

Inbox

The buyer three states away and the lot that sends you cars each keep one thread, and their booking requests get answered inside it.

Email reminders

Switch on a confirmation as they book and a reminder the day before, so the bay you set aside is not sitting empty at eight in the morning.

Team

Each inspector with their own hours and the inspections they are set up to run, so a slot is only offered when somebody can take it.

Payments

Cash and bank transfer recorded by hand cost you nothing. Taking the fee by card at the counter or on the page is the Pro part of money.

Common questions.

No. Where your state runs a program, the result is filed by you through that program, exactly as it is today. Bookables holds the appointment, the vehicle, the quote and the money.

Yes, and it is the one worth putting up first. Give it its real duration and price, and the page only offers slots a bay can genuinely turn around.

Yes. Most of the business here is the pre-purchase inspection, the fleet run and the repairs you quote from what you find, none of which needs a state program.

Each is its own service with its own duration. A full pre-purchase inspection takes the time it takes, and the page will not sell it as a quick check.

Yes. Cash and bank transfer are recorded by hand on any plan. Card payments, at the counter or on the booking page, come with Pro.

They book, the seller brings the car in, and you talk to the buyer in one thread that stays attached to the vehicle and everything you quoted.
