AutoLeap

AutoLeap is another major player in the modern, cloud-native revolution of the auto repair industry. It positions itself heavily as an "all-in-one" solution, actively trying to eliminate the 5 or 6 different software subscriptions a typical shop owner pays for (one for estimating, one for marketing, one for fleet management, etc.). Its most unique advantage is its heavy focus on automated marketing and customer retention. After a customer pays their bill and drives away, AutoLeap automatically texts them a link to leave a 5-star Google Review. If they leave a bad review, the software intercepts it and alerts the shop owner privately to fix the issue. Six months later, the software automatically emails the customer reminding them that they are due for an oil change, actively generating recurring revenue for the shop. It also features a very strong "Technician App." Mechanics hate standing at a shared computer terminal in the middle of the shop. AutoLeap provides a mobile app where a mechanic can clock into a specific job, view the Digital Vehicle Inspection (DVI) checklist, and take a video of a leaking shock absorber, all from their phone while physically standing underneath the car on the lift.
