A customer fills in a form, and it lands on the board
Text a form to the customer or put it on the counter iPad. The moment it's filled in, a card shows up in Needs Attention for your advisors, with every answer ready to copy into your shop system.
Built in a working auto shop
Your whole shop, on one screen.
Team chat, loaner cars, inspections, customer forms, special tools, time off, training, your website and the day's work - one connected system for the back of your shop, right alongside the shop management system you already use.

For the bays, the counter and the office

Built to work together
Not another shop management system - the rest of your shop, connected
Keep estimates, invoicing and parts where they are. TEKTUNE runs everything around them - your team, the loaners, the tools and the paperwork - and every part is tightly connected to the others.
Stays in your shop management software
- Estimates
- Invoicing
- Parts
TEKTUNE is back-of-shop software that works right alongside your automotive shop management software - not instead of it.
Watch one thing move through the shop
A loaner comes back, and its inspection is waiting
Check the car in and its turnover inspection lands on the task board. A tech claims it, checks tires, oil, fuel and your own checklist, and the car is ready to rent again - or flagged for repair.
A customer signs, and the car signs itself out
Send the agreement to the customer's phone or the counter iPad. When they sign, the car is signed out to them automatically, the signed copy goes on its history, and an assigned lockbox's code shows on their last page.
A Tekmetric repair order appears everywhere it's needed
With Tekmetric connected, every RO arrives live and is grouped by your status tags. Type its number in a chat or a task and it becomes a link with the customer, status, keytag and loaner.
An RO moves to Quality Control, and the road test is on the board
Move a repair order to Quality Control in Tekmetric and a road-test task appears in Needs Attention by itself, naming who moved it. Move it back out and the task leaves the board.
An employee gets an assignment, and nobody has to chase it
Hand someone a job once, every day or every week. It lands in their My Assignments chat with an unread count on every screen they use, repeating ones also send a push notification, and you're told if it runs late.
One system, not ten apps
Every module shares the same people, cars and schedule. Check a loaner in and its inspection lands on the task board; a customer signs and the car signs itself out, with their lockbox code on the last page; a form filled in at the counter shows up on the board.
Bought one tool at a time, chat, e-signatures, a website, loaner tracking and tool tracking alone run about $517 a month for a 15-person shop - TEKTUNE starts at $179 a month, with all of it. See each comparison
Message Center ties it together
Chat, announcements, assignments and notifications reach every phone, computer and the desktop app for Windows and Mac - so the whole team hears about it the moment something happens.
Standalone, better with Tekmetric
TEKTUNE works on its own. Connect Tekmetric and repair orders flow in live - into Message Center, the task board and your loaners' history.
Fits how your shop is run
Foremen, service managers, parts managers, porters - give everyone the roles they actually have and decide what each role can do. Already use something else for a module? Turn it off and keep the rest.

Walk through a working shop, one step at a time
Open TEKTUNE and follow a tour card from the board to the loaners, the paperwork and the shop TV. You'll see how one connected system handles a day at the shop - nothing to install, no sign-up.

Task board
Everything that needs doing today, in one place everyone can see - on the shop computer, the wall TV and every phone.
- Shop tasks go in Needs Attention - a drawer on the side of every screen - for anyone to grab, and add up points when they're done.
- The same list brings what needs someone now: a form a customer just filled in, a rental agreement being signed, a time off request to decide, training that's due, a request from your website.
- Daily tasks someone missed turn more urgent each day they're skipped.

- Loaners coming back from a rental show up as inspection tasks automatically, and a problem a customer reports becomes a vehicle concern for a tech.
- Daily tasks reset every morning, on the days your shop is open.
- A weekly leaderboard, with the winner announced automatically - plus a weekly and monthly points goal for each person, and their own points stats and records.

- Repair orders: every RO arrives live, grouped by your shop's own Tekmetric status tags.

- Quality control: an RO moved to Quality Control adds a road-test task on its own, naming who moved it.

Optional - TEKTUNE works on its own. Connecting Tekmetric takes one link pasted into Tekmetric.

Questions
What is TEKTUNE?
TEKTUNE is back-of-shop software for independent auto repair shops. It runs alongside the shop management system (such as Tekmetric) and puts team chat, a live task board, loaner car fleet management with electronic rental agreements and GPS tracking, turnover inspections, customer forms with signatures, special tool inventory, time clock, time off, training and a shop website builder in one connected app for every computer, phone and wall TV in the shop.
How much does TEKTUNE cost?
TEKTUNE is priced per shop, not per person, and every plan includes every module: TEKTUNE STARTER is $179 a month for up to 15 people; Save 10% - TEKTUNE STARTER (1-Year) is $1,934 a year for up to 15 people; TEKTUNE PRO is $279 a month; Save 10% - TEKTUNE PRO (1-Year) is $3,014 a year. Every shop starts with a 15-day free trial with no credit card, and a monthly plan can be cancelled any time.
How does TEKTUNE compare with buying separate apps?
Bought separately, the single-purpose apps TEKTUNE replaces - Slack ($8.75 per person, per month), DocuSign ($30 per sender, per month), Kiosk Pro ($49.99 per iPad), Wix ($46 a month), Fleetio ($5 per vehicle, per month), ShareMyToolbox ($100 a month, plus $10 per extra person), Leave Dates (from £0.75 per person, per month), Trainual (a $1,000 setup fee) - come to about $517 a month for a 15-person shop for chat, e-signatures, a website, loaner tracking and tool tracking alone, each with its own login. TEKTUNE includes all of them, connected: a customer signing a rental agreement signs the loaner out, a returned loaner puts its inspection on the task board, and a form filled in at the counter lands on the board. Competitor prices are their own published prices, checked November 2026.
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 15 days. Before it ends, your administrator chooses a plan from the Billing page - or does nothing, and the trial simply ends.
Does it replace our shop management system?
No. TEKTUNE isn't a shop management system - estimates, invoicing and parts stay where they are. It runs the back of your shop alongside it: your team's messages, the loaner fleet, inspections, tools, time off and the time clock, all in one connected system.
Do we need Tekmetric?
No. TEKTUNE is complete on its own. If your shop uses Tekmetric, connect it with one link and your repair orders come in live: RO numbers in chats and tasks become links with the customer, status, keytag and loaner, Quality Control adds a road-test task by itself, and loaners link to their repair orders and history. It pairs well, but it's optional.
Do you have shops with more than one location?
Yes. Group your shops and Administrators open every one with a single sign-in. Each shop keeps its own work, plan and settings, and chooses what to share with the others - announcements, training, special tools and the time off calendar.
We already use another tool for some of this. Can we turn those parts off?
Yes. Every part of TEKTUNE is a module you can switch off in Shop Settings - for the whole shop or for individual roles. The modules are built to work together, so the more you use, the more they do for each other, but you only ever use what you need.
Can TEKTUNE match how our shop is organized?
Yes. Give each person the roles they really have - Technician, Porter, Advisor, Parts Manager, Foreman, Service Manager, General Manager, Shop Contact or Administrator - and one person can have several. Each role comes ready to go, and your shop can change exactly what any role can do. Foremen and service managers approve time off and fix time cards for their own team.
Can we use our own paperwork?
Yes. Build any form your shop uses - new customer, vehicle drop-off, repair authorization, pickup or feedback - with choices, dates, an agreement and a drawn signature. Text it to the customer, print it or put it on the counter kiosk, and the answers arrive on your task board.
Can TEKTUNE make our shop's website?
Yes. Build it in Shop Settings > Website from sections made for auto shops - services, specials, reviews, an appointment form, hours and a map - and your shop's name, address, phone, hours and logo fill in by themselves. Connect to Site puts it online at a free address or your own domain, and its appointment requests and questions land in Needs Attention for your advisors. It's included, like every other module.
What do we need to run it?
A web browser. TEKTUNE runs on any computer, tablet or phone and installs like an app on phones. There's also the TEKTUNE Message Center desktop app for Windows and Mac, and the TEKTUNE Kiosk app for a counter iPad. Nothing to host or maintain - updates arrive by themselves.
How does the time clock know someone is at the shop?
When someone clocks in or out, their phone's location is checked against a circle around your shop - 250 feet by default, adjustable from 50 to 2,000 feet. General Managers can fix a forgotten punch; those are marked as manager entries.
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.
