Gap foundResearched 29 September 2026 for auto repair shops

What the search found

Who pays
Shop owner with one or two loaner cars
The problem
The owner lends out a car and then has to chase the customer for the return time and fuel level. Damage disputes happen because there is no photo record at handoff and return.
The gap
Connexion Mobility and other loaner software serve dealerships with large fleets and are priced for them. Independent shops with one or two loaner cars have no simple tool that works by text and photo.
Already out there
People asking for it
The big assumption
Independent shop owners with one or two loaner cars will pay for a tracking tool when a paper log and text messages work okay.
Test it this week
Ask 10 independent shop owners with loaner cars how they track handoffs and if they have ever had a damage dispute.
