What is Third Gear Shop?

Third Gear Shop provides specialized management software designed for independent mechanics and performance garages. Unlike many shop applications that center around the conventional repair order workflow—where vehicles are delivered, serviced, and returned—this system proves beneficial for extensive projects involving multiple parts orders and various technicians. With Third Gear Shop, users can visually track each task from the moment a vehicle arrives until it is collected. As the job progresses, users can meticulously record both parts and technician hours, yielding accurate labor costs and profit margins instead of relying on rough estimates. The software also keeps thorough records of customer and vehicle histories while automatically preparing invoices that detail parts, labor, and taxes. The enhanced Shop Pro version offers bespoke invoices, a customer portal for tracking job status, in-depth reports on technician revenue and job margins, as well as tools for managing expenses. Additionally, there is a complimentary Garage tier available for car enthusiasts interested in managing their own projects. The Starter plan is available for $79 per month and accommodates up to five technicians, while the Shop Pro plan is offered at $149 per month, permitting an unlimited number of technicians. There are no extra charges per seat, no binding contracts, and a 14-day free trial is provided to newcomers. This level of adaptability makes Third Gear Shop an attractive choice for various automotive enterprises, catering to both small shops and larger operations.

What is Garage Partner?

The implementation of serial numbers for products, coupled with advanced search capabilities, significantly improves organizational efficiency. Customers are given the choice to either accept or decline the services and products that appear on their invoices. Moreover, vehicles can be registered as temporary entries, which is especially useful for dealerships and walk-in customers who wish to avoid tracking. Technicians have the ability to clock in and out for each task, facilitating accurate time tracking for all labor-related efforts. The system also features the capability to send text messages directly to both pagers and mobile phones from Garage Partner Pro. Users can conveniently fax or email invoices and work authorizations right from the software interface. Additionally, PDF versions of invoices can be attached and sent via email within Garage Partner Pro, enhancing user convenience. The platform supports an unlimited array of predefined service requests and job descriptions, along with the ability to incorporate supplies into the invoicing process. There is a provision to apply a percentage fee on invoices for parts and labor, complete with visual aids through screenshots. Invoices can be temporarily held if required, offering flexibility in billing. The program generates estimates that can subsequently be converted back into invoices at any time, and it features a seamless archiving system that links these estimates to the customer’s profile for future reference. This capability is particularly beneficial for body shop estimates, as it allows for quick quotes. Furthermore, real-time tracking of vehicle progress is available for all cars currently being serviced, which ensures smooth operations and effective communication. This comprehensive system ultimately boosts both workflow efficiency and customer satisfaction, while also providing a more organized approach to handling service requests.
