Shop Boss is a web-based shop management system for independent auto repair shops, built by former shop owners and launched in 2012 as one of the first browser-based platforms in the category. It centralizes day-to-day operations — appointment calendars, repair orders, inventory and vendor management, invoicing, and embedded payment processing — in a single dashboard (BOSS Board) that surfaces revenue, productivity, and customer-satisfaction metrics in real time. Higher-tier plans add BOSS Inspect for digital vehicle inspections with photos and automated customer reports, BOSS AI ProNotes for AI-assisted technician notes, a VIN scanner for instant vehicle lookup, direct parts and tire ordering from national distributors, an online service scheduler, and a marketing CRM with automated customer communication. Shop Boss is now part of Vehlo, an aftermarket software platform, with sales and support based in Tulsa, OK and corporate headquarters in Knoxville, TN.
Key Features
BOSS Board Dashboard — Real-time dashboard tracking revenue, productivity, and customer trends across the shop.
BOSS Inspect — Digital vehicle inspections with photos and automated customer-facing reports.
BOSS Pay — Embedded payment processing supporting cards, Venmo, PayPal, Text-to-Pay, and consumer financing.
Parts & Tire Ordering — Direct ordering from national parts and tire distributors inside the shop management system.
BOSS AI ProNotes — AI-assisted technician note-taking for faster, more consistent repair documentation.
Online Service Scheduler & Marketing CRM — 24/7 online booking with custom rules plus automated customer communication and email campaigns (higher tiers).
Pros & Cons
Pros
Purpose-built for auto repair shops by former shop owners, with direct parts and tire ordering from national distributors built into the platform
Digital vehicle inspections (BOSS Inspect) and a real-time KPI dashboard (BOSS Board) give shops visibility into revenue, productivity, and customer satisfaction
Higher tiers bundle marketing CRM, online scheduling, and even website design/maintenance, reducing the need for separate vendors
All plans include unlimited repair orders and users plus two-way customer texting and email
Cons
Pricing starts at $199/month and rises to $649/month, which is a meaningful monthly cost for very small independent shops
Key capabilities like the online scheduler and marketing CRM are gated behind the top Premier Plus tier
Built specifically for the auto repair vertical, so it isn't a fit for other field-service industries
