Gap foundResearched 29 September 2026 for auto repair shops

What the search found

Who pays
Shop owner who pays flat rate technicians
The problem
The owner spends hours every pay period working out who gets paid what when two techs worked the same job or a comeback came back. Techs argue about whose comeback it is and the owner has no clean record to settle it.
The gap
Existing shop software like Garage Auto tracks jobs and P&L but does not split flat rate pay between techs on shared jobs or handle comeback pay rules. The pay calculation is left to the owner in a spreadsheet.
Already out there
People asking for it
The big assumption
Shop owners will pay for a tool that only does pay splitting when they already have a spreadsheet that works well enough.
Test it this week
Ask 10 shop owners who pay flat rate techs to show you their current pay calculation process and ask what they would pay to automate it.
