You use a labor guide every day – whether it’s a book, computer program, or just what’s in your head from past jobs. Occasionally, those times are way off the mark. Our labor guide is accurate, inexpensive, and take lots of factors into account, like experience with the job, specialty tools needed, and vehicle condition. We understand your challenges and do our best to maximize your success. Either as your “go-to” guide or your second opinion, you need the Real-Time Labor Guide in your tool box!

As you become busier and more successful, you need new tools to help run your shop more efficiently and capture additional profit from your increased work load. You still need the Real-Time Labor Guide to give proper quotes, but you also need a way to manage customers and access the jobs and estimates you have given them in the past. You need reports to help spot trends and opportunities to grow your income. You need the tool you choose to be easy, reliable and secure. You need Real-Time Pro!

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!

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.
