Every auto repair shop business we've worked with has a different definition of "broken". Business automations only earns its keep when it solves the specific definition you'd give it on a bad day - which is why our first call is mostly listening.
Auto repair shops-grade business automations, shipped by people who've done it before.
Our goal is to give auto repair shops a three-day weekend, so people can spend more time with their families and the people they love :)

What you actually get
Every engagement is scoped and quoted up front. This is what is in the box.
- A working pilot, in productionNot a prototype on someone's laptop. The first slice of business automations runs against real work within weeks.
- Your data stays yoursIt runs on your accounts and your tools. If we part ways you keep the system and everything in it.
- The workflow mapped before codeWe write down what good looks like for auto repair shops first, so nobody is guessing at handover.
- Support after it landsThe people who built it stay reachable when the business changes shape around it.
How business automations compares
The two things most businesses do instead, and where each one runs out.
| Hiring for it | An off-the-shelf tool | Kiwi Dynamics | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fit to how you work | Fits perfectly, costs a salary | You bend your process to suit the tool | Built around the workflow you already run |
| Time to something useful | Immediate, and permanent | Quick to switch on, slow to make fit | A working slice in weeks, then hardened |
| Who owns the data | You do | The vendor, on the vendor's terms | You do, in your own accounts |
| When it breaks | That person sorts it, if they are in | A support queue and a ticket number | The people who built it |
| What it costs | A salary, every year, forever | Per seat, forever, used or not | Scoped and quoted up front |
The pattern across most auto repair shops we work with.
- Mechanics quote from underneath a car and answer the phone from underneath a car, and one of those always loses.
- Booking, quoting, and parts follow-up are the admin layer that decides how many cars a workshop can turn over in a week.
How we build business automations for auto repair shops.
We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for an auto repair shop business, so value lands before the build is finished. End-to-end automations.
Talk to usHow the work runs
- Find the one workflowWe look for the job costing auto repair shops the most hours or the most leads, and deliberately ignore the rest for now.
- Ship a working sliceA narrow version goes into production in weeks, against real work, so the value shows up before the build is finished.
- Prove it, then widenWe measure it against what the work cost before. If it does not pay for itself, we say so rather than scaling it.
- Harden and hand overLogging, fallbacks and a real handover, so it keeps running when we are not in the room.

FAQ
How quickly can we see something running?
Week three for a clickable internal demo against real data. Week six for a slice your team can actually use. We hold ourselves to those numbers because they're what stops a project drifting into "endless discovery".
Is business automations worth it for a smaller auto repair shop?
Often, yes - and counterintuitively the ROI is sometimes faster than for the big end of town because there's less integration overhead. We'll tell you honestly on the scoping call if it isn't.
Can you walk us through a comparable build?
Yes - on the first call we'll pick the closest engagement we've shipped to what you're describing and walk through the outcome, the headcount and the time it took. Average client recovers 12 hours/week within the first 60 days.
What tools do you build business automations on?
For business automations we usually reach for n8n, Make, Zapier, Vercel Functions, Cloudflare Workers. We're tool-agnostic at heart - we pick what your auto repair shop team can actually run after we hand the build over, not what looks good on a vendor sticker.
