Summary: Get your auto shop out of the dark ages. SmartFish Hub allows mechanics and tire shops to launch a branded website, schedule oil changes, and track customer repairs in a built-in CRM—all in minutes.
Digitize Your Auto Shop Without the Tech Headache
Independent mechanics often run their entire business on paper calendars and a ringing phone. This leads to double-booked bays, forgotten customer callbacks, and a disorganized shop floor. Building a complex website is out of the question for most busy shop owners.
SmartFish Hub provides an instant, mobile-friendly landing page where customers can find your hours, contact your shop, and even book routine maintenance appointments online.
Essential Features for Mechanics
- Online Appointment Booking: Let customers book specific time slots for oil changes, tire rotations, or diagnostic checks, reducing phone calls during busy hours.
- Clear Business Information: Ensure your location, operating hours, towing partnerships, and contact details are front and center on a sleek, professional layout.
- Customer Vehicle CRM: Every time a customer books or fills out an inquiry form, a CRM card is created. You can attach notes about their vehicle’s mileage, required parts, or repair history.
- Follow-Up Reminders: Set an automated reminder in the CRM to call a customer back when their special-order parts arrive.
