Your customer approves the repair from a text message.
No more phone tag explaining what a worn brake pad looks like. Send the photo, they tap approve, the job moves — right from their phone.
Built for one-bay-to-ten-bay independent shops — not a chain-store platform you're paying to grow into.
Estimate. Job. Invoice. One line, not three systems.
Every repair order moves through the same three steps — no separate quoting tool, no spreadsheet for parts, no second app for the bill.
-
1
Estimate
Build it from your saved services or from scratch. Send it, and it shows up on your board as pending — not buried in a drawer.
-
2
Job
Approved work becomes a real job with the quoted price locked in. Techs log parts and hours as they go — nothing re-typed.
-
3
Invoice
A real, numbered invoice generates itself. Print it, email it, or let the customer pull it up and pay from their phone.
Everything the big platforms have. None of what you don't need.
Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, and AutoLeap were built for multi-location operations with a service advisor, a parts counter person, and a shop foreman all doing different jobs. If that's not your shop, you're paying for org chart you don't have.
Simpli Shop Pro has the same core: estimates, digital inspections, scheduling, invoicing, inventory, reports. It's just built and priced for the shop that's actually running it — one owner wearing four hats, a couple of techs, maybe a front-desk person.
The whole shop on one board
See every job, every bay, every technician — today's work and next week's appointments, all in one place. Click a job to see photos, notes, and the invoice without hunting through tabs.
Parts that actually track
Set a reorder point once. Get a warning before you're out of brake pads mid-job, not after. Every part used gets tied to the job it went on, so your margin isn't a guess.
Reports that answer real questions
Average repair order. Which tech is actually productive. Whether your estimates are converting or dying on the vine. Not a wall of numbers — the handful that tell you how the shop is actually doing.
A follow-up that isn't a sticky note
When a customer says not today to a repair, it's not gone — it's a deferred sale. We surface it again at the right time so someone actually follows up, instead of it living on a service advisor's memory.
See it running, not a slideshow.
We keep a live demo shop online with real jobs, real invoices, and real reports. Click around as staff or as a customer — no sign-up needed.
How it stacks up against the platforms built for bigger shops
Same core workflow. Different math once you add up what a comparable setup actually costs elsewhere.

Competitor pricing and features as published on each vendor's own site, checked mid-2026 — vendors change pricing without much notice, so verify current numbers directly with them before deciding. We're not yet integrated with a parts catalog or a distributor network for live ordering; if your shop leans hard on VIN-based fitment lookups or in-app distributor ordering today, that's a fair reason to stick with a platform that has it.
One price. Everything's included.
No add-on modules, no "call for enterprise pricing." Every shop gets the whole thing.

Simpli Shop Pro is built and maintained by a small team that would rather ship something a shop actually uses than a feature list that looks good in a demo. If something's missing or broken, tell us — that's usually how the next release gets decided.
