You may have gotten into this business because you enjoy turning wrenches, but to run a successful shop you need to manage the business as well. Day-to-day operations can take up much of your time. While the labor guide and customer management from Real-Time Pro are great, you need more advanced shop management software. You need features like accounts receivable, technician tracking, automatic parts markup, inventory, etc. You need Automotive Expert!

Real-Time Labor Guide is created by Real-World mechanics!

To us, mechanics are like “Repair Artists.” You deserve more than the minimum bare-bones time given by the manufacturer – times that don’t reflect the real conditions you face on a daily basis. The factory and manufacturer times are from tests performed on their own brand-new cars using specialty tools in a perfect environment. You (and we) know that, in the real world, repairs just aren’t that easy. Our times come from Repair Artists in the field – professional mechanics working in the real world under real conditions.

Don’t take it from us, here’s what our customers have to say:
