AI for Auto Repair Shops | TMI Technology
Auto Repair Shops

More cars through the bays. Less time on the phone.

Auto repair shops lose revenue to shop capacity management, parts ordering delays, and customers who never come back because no one followed up. TMI builds the intelligent infrastructure that maximizes bay utilization, automates customer communication, and keeps cars coming back without a service writer making calls.

The Problem

Auto repair shops run full but rarely at full capacity - and the back office is why.

Bay utilization, parts delays, and customer retention are all solvable with systems. Most shops don't have them.

01

Appointment scheduling doesn't maximize bay utilization

Phone-in booking creates uneven shop loading - some days are packed, others have empty bays. Intelligent scheduling fills the shop based on job type and bay availability.

02

Parts ordering creates job delays that push customers into other bays

Waiting for parts is the single biggest cause of extended job cycle times. Proactive parts ordering based on diagnostic data reduces wait time and gets cars out faster.

03

Customer retention depends on follow-up that rarely happens

The customer who came in for an oil change 8 months ago is due for a brake inspection. Without a system that tracks and follows up, that car goes to a competitor.
