Strata for Mechanic

For general auto repair shops running diagnostics, repair orders, and maintenance work.

What mechanic shops actually hit

The friction that slows mechanic shops down

Scope changes mid-job

You pull a wheel and find more than the estimate covered, and now you need a fast, documented approval before you keep going.

Maintenance customers forget

An oil change or brake job is due by mileage or time, but without a reminder the customer drifts to whoever texts them first.

Estimates from a parts-and-labor guess

Every repair is labor hours plus parts markup, and building that consistently by hand slows the write-up and risks underpricing.

Approvals over the phone

Chasing a customer by phone for a go-ahead stalls the bay and leaves no record of what they agreed to.

A day at the shop

A day at your mechanic shop, run on Strata

8:00am

A brake inspection comes in. You write the repair order with labor hours and parts, and send it for the customer to approve from their phone.

10:45am

Mid-job you find a seized caliper. You send an updated line and the customer approves it from their phone. Documented, no phone tag, bay keeps moving.

3:00pm

The repair gets logged to the vehicle with mileage, and Autopilot sets the next-service reminder for the interval.

5:30pm

A customer overdue for an oil change by mileage gets a reminder text. You approve it and it goes out.

Repair orders with mid-job approvals

Repair orders with mid-job approvals

Mileage & interval reminders

Oil, brakes, and services come due by mileage or time; Autopilot pulls those customers back on their interval before they drift to whoever texts first.
