The software your shop needs.

We built it because our shop needed it. We're sharing it because we know other shops have the same pain points.

Why this exists

I built tekDrive for my shop. It worked.

No product team. No VC roadmap. Just one shop owner solving one problem at a time — the phone calls we were losing, the video editing my advisors were drowning in, the estimates walking out the door. When the numbers moved, I shipped it so your shop could run it too.

Same shop. Same advisors. Same customers.
The software they were fighting changed.

Customers don't trust what they can't see.

The American auto repair industry has a 66–78% trust deficit. It isn't because customers think mechanics are crooked — it's because they can't verify anything they're told over the phone.

When a shop shows them, that “no” flips — fast.

The shop day

Six ways your shop leaks time and money.

Click any step to see what's broken today — and how tekDrive fixes it.

tekDrive check-in — photos of the vehicle tagged to a repair order
The problem today

Manual everything. ~10 minutes per vehicle.

Advisor walks around the car with a phone, snaps photos, types the VIN by hand, switches to Tekmetric on the desktop, types the customer's info, uploads each photo one at a time, waits on the progress bar, checks whether the shot was blurry, re-takes it. Every single vehicle.

~10 minutes per vehicle, with typos and missed fields
With tekDrive

Check-in in ~3 minutes. Accurate. Uploaded.

Photos captured once on the phone. Tagged to the RO automatically. VIN decoded. Customer record synced to Tekmetric on the spot. No retyping, no waiting on a desktop upload, no switching screens — the tech is back on the floor before the coffee runs out.

~3 minutes per vehicle. Fast uploads. No missed fields.

The fix isn't more training. It isn't another DVI app. It's eliminating every step between “I see it” and “the customer approved it!”

The platform underneath

Shop day is the workflow. This is what makes it stick.

Four pieces of the platform that keep tekDrive running across every bay, every shift, every customer.

Chrome Extension

Docked right inside your Tekmetric window.

The whole tekDrive workflow — sidebar, AI, RingCentral calls — runs inside Tekmetric as a Chrome extension. No tab switching. No context loss.

Media Tracker

Nothing falls through the cracks.

Flags every RO missing inspection photos, videos, or onboarding shots. Your team claims it, gets nudged, finishes it — before it becomes tomorrow's problem.

Missing uploadsForgotten tasksAccountability
RO Search

Type any RO. See every photo, video, and doc.

Instant lookup across every repair order in your shop. Full-text search, media thumbnails, a complete audit trail. Nothing is ever "where did we save that?" again.

Roles & Access

Each role sees what they need — nothing else.

Admins see everything. Advisors see the customer side. Techs see the floor view. Feature flags, permissions, and dashboard layouts adapt per seat.

Advisors, owners, and techs — after their team has lived inside tekDrive.

“We couldn't do our job without it. It'd take too much time to compress a video, write in proper English or Spanish, write an estimate... I couldn't imagine not using tekDrive.”

Service Advisors
“Uploads are as fast as downloads. Before, we used Dropbox and Slack — ran out of storage or got restricted because we didn't upgrade. tekDrive keeps all our media in one place and easily accessible.”
J
J.J.'s Auto Service Center
“It's incredible. We no longer worry about 'what scanner did we save those codes on?' or 'do you still have that picture?' It's all documented with footprints. So cool!”
M
Management
“I love how tekDrive looks. It feels like such a well-polished and thought-out platform. Easy to use and guides you to what you're looking for. It's next level!”
