Built in a working auto shop

Your whole shop, on one screen.

Loaner cars, inspections, special tools, time off and the day's work - TEKTUNE keeps technicians, advisors and managers in step on the shop computer, the wall display and everyone's phone.

No credit card to start. Cancel any time.

Task board

Everything that needs doing today, in one place everyone can see - on the shop computer, the wall TV and every phone.

  1. Loaners coming back from a rental show up as inspection tasks automatically.
  2. "Needs immediate attention" jobs go on the board for anyone to grab.
  3. Recurring daily chores reset every morning, on the days you choose.
  4. Finished work earns points on a weekly leaderboard, with a winner announced every Friday.

Rental turnover inspections

A guided turnover inspection makes sure every car goes back out clean, full and safe.

  1. Tap Start inspection - the car is claimed so nobody doubles up.
  2. Enter each tire pressure next to the car's spec; the cursor jumps to the next tire as you type.
  3. Record oil level, mileage, oil-change due and the fuel gauge, and add photos.
  4. Submit and the car is ready to rent - or Flag for Review to send it for repair.

In a hurry? Check-in can skip the inspection, at most twice in a row per car.

Loaner fleet & sign-out

See every loaner at a glance - ready, out with a customer, being inspected or in for service - with fuel and mileage.

  1. Sign a car out with the customer, phone, RO number, mileage and return date.
  2. Print the rental agreement, or send it for an electronic signature.
  3. Check the car in when it comes back; its inspection lands on the task board.
  4. Reserve cars ahead of time, and see each car's full rental history and notes.

Electronic rental agreements

Send the rental agreement to the customer's phone - they sign before they arrive, or after hours.

  1. Text or email the customer a secure signing link (or hand it over).
  2. They agree to sign electronically, photograph their license and insurance card, and read the agreement.
  3. When they sign, the car is signed out to them automatically and you're notified.
  4. Assign a lockbox and they see its code on the last page - only after signing.
  5. A signed PDF with a signing certificate is kept with the car's history.

Texts and emails go out from TEKTUNE under your shop's name - nothing to set up. Electronic signatures are included with paid plans.

Kiosks

Put an iPad on the counter. Customers go through their own rental paperwork right there - no clipboard, no copier, no retyping.

  1. Start the sign-out in TEKTUNE, send it for electronic signature without texting it, and open the signing link on the shop's iPad.
  2. Hand it over: the customer checks their details and agrees to sign electronically.
  3. They photograph their driver's license and insurance card with the iPad's camera.
  4. They read the rental agreement and sign it with a finger - the car is signed out to them automatically.
  5. The signed PDF lands in the car's history, just like a signature from their own phone.

Any tablet with a web browser works. Uses Electronic Signatures, included with paid plans.

Special tool inventory

Every special tool - the shop's and each tech's own - with who has it right now.

  1. Add tools with a photo, part numbers, what they fit and where they live.
  2. Sign a tool out and back in; a return photo shows the condition it came back in.
  3. Ask to borrow someone's personal tool, or reserve one that's out.
  4. Report a tool missing or damaged, and keep a shop-wide sign-in/out log.

Time off

Employees request time off from their phone; managers approve it and everyone sees who's out.

  1. Pick days (or part of a day) and a reason, and see your remaining balance.
  2. Managers approve or decline, and the employee is notified.
  3. The calendar shows who's out, paid holidays and shop events.
  4. Set yearly allowances and limits, and subscribe to the calendar in Google, Outlook or Apple Calendar.

Time clock

Clock in, take breaks and clock out from the + New Task menu - with a location check so punches only happen at the shop.

  1. Clock in and out, and start and end breaks, in one tap from any phone.
  2. Each clock-in and clock-out is checked against a circle around your shop (250 feet by default, adjustable).
  3. Managers see time cards by week and day, and who's on the clock now.
  4. Fix or add punches when someone forgets - every change is logged.

Message Center + Tekmetric

Keep shop conversations out of personal text messages - with your Tekmetric repair orders built right in.

  1. Direct messages and group chats, plus private notes to yourself.
  2. Type an RO number and TEKTUNE tags it automatically - it turns into an orange Tekmetric link.
  3. Hover or tap the tag for an RO card: customer, status, keytag and the loaner they have.
  4. Click it to jump straight to that repair order in Tekmetric.
  5. Search any RO number to find every conversation it came up in.
  6. Announcements with polls, assignments with points, and notifications on phones and the Windows desktop app.

The Tekmetric tags need your Tekmetric account connected (one link pasted into Tekmetric).

  1. Open History from any car.
  2. See every rental, inspection, service and repair, newest first or by mileage.
  3. Leave notes for the next person - new notes are flagged on the car's card.
  4. With Bouncie trackers, the Location History tab shows every trip the car took - where it went, when, how far, how long and its top speed.

Lockboxes

Track which key lockbox is holding whose keys, with the code hidden until you need it.

  2. Codes stay hidden on the wall display.
  3. Assign a lockbox while sending an e-signature and the customer gets the code after signing.

Wall display & phones

Put TEKTUNE on a TV in the shop, and install it on phones like an app.

  1. A dashboard sign-in turns any screen into a live wall display.
  2. Each person arranges their own dashboard - separately for phone and computer.
  3. Install it to a phone's home screen for notifications.

  1. Connect your Bouncie account and match each tracker to a car.
  2. See each car's location and whether it's moving, on the fleet board and a map.
  3. Review every trip, with a warning if a tracker was unplugged.

Your team, your rules

Turn on only what your shop uses, and decide who sees what.

  1. Five roles: Technician, Advisor, Manager, Administrator Manager and Dashboard.
  2. Every part of TEKTUNE is a module - you're free to turn it on or off whenever you like, for the whole shop or just one role.
  3. Add an employee with just a name, role and email. They get an invite, choose a password and a 4-digit PIN, and add a profile photo.
  4. PINs switch people in and out on shared shop computers.

Always getting better

TEKTUNE keeps growing with your shop

TEKTUNE is built and improved constantly by people who run a real shop floor. New modules and improvements arrive all the time - automatically, with nothing to install and nothing extra to pay.

New modules, regularly

The time clock, electronic signatures and kiosks all arrived as new modules along the way. More are always in the works.

Updates arrive by themselves

Every improvement goes live for every shop the moment it's ready. Open TEKTUNE and you're on the newest version - see what changed under TEKTUNE Updates.

You tell us what's next

Anyone on your team can tap Request Support to report a bug or ask for a feature. It goes straight to the people building TEKTUNE, and the answer comes back in Message Center.

Switch on only what you use

Every part of TEKTUNE is a module. New ones show up in Modules and Permissions, ready to turn on when your shop wants them.

Questions

How does the free trial work?

Tell us about your shop on the Get Started page and we'll set it up and email you an invite. You get the full app for 30 days. Before it ends, your administrator chooses a plan from the Billing page - or does nothing, and the trial simply ends.

What do we need to run it?

A web browser. TEKTUNE runs on any computer, tablet or phone, installs like an app on phones, and has a Windows desktop app for messaging. There's nothing to host, install or maintain - updates arrive by themselves.

Does it replace our shop management system?

No - it works alongside it. Connect Tekmetric and every RO number in Message Center becomes a link straight to that repair order, but estimates, invoicing and parts stay where they are.

How does the time clock know someone is at the shop?

When someone clocks in or out, their phone shares its location and TEKTUNE checks it against a circle around your shop's address - 250 feet by default, and you choose anywhere from 50 to 2,000 feet. The check happens on TEKTUNE's servers, not the phone, and a GPS reading too blurry to trust is refused rather than guessed. Managers can still fix a forgotten punch; those are marked as manager entries.

Can we turn off the modules we don't use?

Yes. Each part of TEKTUNE is a module - rentals, inspections, tools, time off, time clock, messaging, e-signatures, kiosks and more - and you're free to turn any of them on or off whenever you like, for the whole shop or for individual roles.

How does everyone sign in?

Each person signs in with their own email and password. On shared shop computers and wall displays, people switch in with a 4-digit PIN.

Who can see our shop's information?

Only the people at your shop. Every shop has its own separate database and private file storage, and photos and documents are only shown to people signed in to that shop.

How does billing work?

Month to month by card, through Stripe. Your plan renews automatically each month, so nobody has to remember to pay. Your administrator can change plans, update the card, download invoices or cancel from the Billing page in TEKTUNE.
