What is Daedalus Shop?

Daedalus keeps an independent auto repair shop on one record — repair orders, estimates, customer approvals, invoicing, payments and scheduling in one place. The difference shows at the counter. A service writer gives the assistant a rough note like "stalls at idle, new coil and plugs, 1.2 hr" and it works out which piece is which, and what to charge for it at the shop's own labour rate, returning a draft to approve or change. A person signs off before anything is written to a record. Customers follow the job, approve estimates and pay through a portal carrying the shop's own branding, kept at a permanent address they can return to. Questions there are answered without tying up the counter, and go to a person when the assistant can't help. Shop data exports in full at any time.

What is Apex Mechanic?

Apex Mechanic is an innovative cloud-based management tool tailored for independent automotive repair shops, covering a wide range of services including general repairs, tire changes, performance enhancements, fleet upkeep, and quick lube tasks. This software effectively consolidates vital functions such as managing customer and vehicle data, scheduling appointments, enabling online bookings, generating work orders, providing price estimates, issuing invoices, overseeing inventory, and facilitating customer interactions. Employees have the capability to generate comprehensive estimates that outline costs for parts, labor, services, taxes, and additional notes; these can be forwarded to customers for their approval and easily converted into invoices upon acceptance. Moreover, the platform enhances customer engagement through features like appointment reminders and prompts for Google reviews. Both shop owners and their teams can access the web application and a mobile app, allowing them to efficiently oversee appointments, pricing, invoices, and client communications. In addition, a specialized Apex Auto app is provided for vehicle owners, which allows them to find nearby repair shops, request quotes, book services, communicate with service centers, and keep track of their vehicle's maintenance history. This all-encompassing system not only optimizes everyday operations for repair shops but also significantly improves the lines of communication between businesses and their clientele, ultimately delivering a more seamless experience for everyone involved. By bridging the gap between technology and customer service, Apex Mechanic positions automotive repair businesses to thrive in a competitive marketplace.

Auto Repair Shop Management

Daedalus is an innovative management software designed for independent auto repair shops, streamlining all aspects of the business from repair orders and estimates to customer approvals, invoicing, payments, and scheduling— all consolidated into a single record. A service writer can provide the assistant with basic information such as symptoms, parts installed, and labor hours, and receive a preliminary pricing draft for review. No information is finalized on the repair order until it receives human approval. Vehicle owners can track the progress of their services, authorize work, and make payments via a customized portal that reflects the shop's brand. Additionally, shop data can be fully exported at any time and is securely backed up each night using encryption to a storage solution owned by the shop.
