Auto Shop Software From Coast to Coast
Quotes, invoices, customer texts, AI part scanning — run your entire shop from your phone. Purpose-built for independent auto shops and multi-bay operations across Canada.
Everything Your Shop Needs
From work orders to customer texts — built for shop floor efficiency.
Work Orders, Simplified
Customer walks in, you open a work order in seconds. AI reads parts receipts, you dictate notes hands-free while you're under the lift, snap before and after photos. Every dollar tracked.
Estimates & Invoices in Seconds
Turn any work order into a professional estimate or invoice. Text or email it to the customer. Accept payment online through Stripe, or at your counter with Square or SumUp.
Text Your Customers
One tap to text "your vehicle is ready for pickup." Send service reminders, follow up on estimates, confirm appointments. Ready-made templates or type your own. Customers appreciate staying in the loop.
AI Receptionist
Never miss a customer call again. Your AI receptionist answers the phone 24/7, takes messages, and captures leads — even during winter emergencies when your lines are jammed.
Online Payments
Customers pay invoices online through Stripe. Send a link by text or email — funds arrive in your account. Accept card payments at the counter with SumUp, Zettle, or Square.
AI Diagnostic Chat
Consult AI about any vehicle fault. It knows the car's complete specs, service history, and common issues for that make and model. Like having a master technician available around the clock.
Dashboard & Calendar
See your entire day at a glance — scheduled jobs on a calendar, revenue charts, outstanding invoices, and vehicles awaiting pickup. Everything on one screen.
One App, Two Ways to Work
Owner-operator or multi-bay shop — Mekavo fits the way you already work.
Quick & Simple Mode
You're running a one-person shop. You turn the wrench, write the estimate, text the customer. Zero overhead.
Customer Calls
Create a job in seconds. Type the plate — vehicle details pulled automatically.
Do the Work
Add costs as you go. Voice notes under the lift. Before/after photos for documentation.
Invoice & Text
One tap to generate the invoice. One tap to text "your vehicle is ready." That's it.
Get Paid
Customer pays cash, card, e-transfer, or online. Mark as paid. Next job.
Full Shop Workflow
AI receptionist, front counter, technicians, service advisors, bookkeeper — everyone sees what they need, nothing they don't.
Customer Calls Your Shop
Customer dials your dedicated shop number. AI receptionist picks up immediately — greets them, takes their details, schedules an appointment. Your crew arrives in the morning with the job already on the calendar.
Front Counter Manages the Day
Your service advisor sees all appointments — AI-captured overnight bookings and walk-ins. Assigns technicians, manages the schedule, confirms with customers. The AI covers overflow calls during rush periods.
Technician Inspects & Reports
Technician sees their assigned work orders. Inspects the vehicle, records findings by voice — just speaks while working. AI converts the recording into a structured parts list with quantities and descriptions.
Service Advisor Sends the Estimate
AI-generated parts list becomes a professional estimate in seconds. Service advisor reviews, adjusts pricing, and sends to the customer for approval by text or email.
Customer Approves Online
Customer receives a clear estimate breakdown on their phone. Accepts with one tap. Authorization saved automatically. No phone tag, no paper shuffling.
Technician Gets to Work
Technician gets notified right away. Timer starts tracking labour per vehicle. Before/after photos captured as evidence. Customer notified when their vehicle is ready.
Bookkeeper Sees Everything
Invoice generated automatically from the approved estimate. Payments tracked — cash, card, e-transfer, online. GST/HST calculated correctly for your province. The bookkeeper sees all finances without touching the shop floor side.
Your Shop, Your Website
Launch a professional website for your auto shop in minutes. Custom domain, online booking, photo gallery — all managed from your Mekavo dashboard.
Your Own Domain
Register a domain like yourshop.ca or connect one you already own. SSL certificate included automatically.
Dark & Light Mode
Professional design showcasing your logo, services, gallery, and business hours. Looks great on every device.
Online Booking
Customers book appointments right from your page. Jobs appear in your dashboard automatically.
QR Code for Print
Download a QR code for your business cards, shop window, or receipts. Customers scan to visit your page.
A Receptionist That Never Takes a Sick Day, Never Goes on Vacation, and Never Misses a Beat
How many customers have you lost because the phone rang and nobody picked up? Every missed call is a job that walked out the door.
Answers After Hours and Winter Emergencies
It's minus 30 and someone's truck won't start in a Canadian Tire parking lot. They call your shop at 6am. Your AI receptionist answers — calm, professional, ready to help. Takes their name, number, what they need, and books them in for first thing. You arrive at the shop with a new job already on your calendar.
Reliable, Every Single Call
Your receptionist is stuck on the 401 in traffic. Or home with the flu. Or on parental leave. Your AI receptionist doesn't have off days. It answers every call the same way — polite, patient, professional. January blizzard or July long weekend, it never wavers.
Free to Start, Pennies to Run
We give you a free local +1 phone number — yours to keep, it never expires. Top up a few dollars when you need it. A full-time receptionist costs CA$45,000+ a year. Yours works 24/7/365 for the price of two Tim Hortons coffees a week. We understand the work that goes into every repair you complete — we're here to support your business, not nickel-and-dime it.
Your Customers Will Love It
People have packed schedules. They can't always call during shop hours. With AI, your business is always open for appointments — early morning before the commute, late evening after hockey practice, holiday weekends. Customers book when it fits their life, not your hours.
Don't Take Our Word for It — Call It Yourself
Dial this number right now and speak to our AI receptionist. It's live, it's real, and it works exactly the way it would for your shop.

A Touch of Class That Keeps Them Coming Back
Want to show your customers you value their business? With their consent, send a personal letter — a printed invitation to book their safety inspection or scheduled service. Not an email that gets buried in spam, not a text that gets swiped — a real letter in their mailbox. One click to print, perfectly formatted for a window envelope. Just print, fold, slide it in, stamp it, and Canada Post handles the rest. It costs pennies but the message is priceless: "We remember you. We care about your vehicle. We'd love to see you again." This is how you build customers for life. And it's free — included in Mekavo because we believe in the power of genuine customer care.
How It Works
From appointment to paid invoice in three steps
Create the Job
Add costs with AI part scanning, dictate notes hands-free, snap before/after photos.
Text Your Customer
One tap to let them know their vehicle is ready. Use templates or write a custom message.
Invoice & Get Paid
Generate an invoice, share it via text or email, mark as paid. Done.
Bring Your Data. Take Your Data. We Don't Play Games.
Switching from another system? Got years of records in old spreadsheets? Written in a daybook? We don't care about the format — our AI will figure it out.
Import Anything
Messy Excel files, CSV exports from your old software, even photos of paper records. Our AI reviews your data, understands the structure, and imports it — customers, vehicles, job history. Completely free.
AI Does the Heavy Lifting
Got a spreadsheet with years of notes crammed into random columns? Our AI reads it, makes sense of it, and maps it into your Mekavo account. Zero manual data entry, zero frustration.
Export Everything, Anytime
Want to leave? Download all your data with one click — customers, vehicles, jobs, invoices, everything. CSV format, yours to keep. We never hold your data hostage. Period.
Your Data, Your Property
Other software companies make it intentionally difficult to leave. We make it straightforward. Your business data belongs to you — not to us, not to a third party. Bring it in, take it out, no questions.
Your Data is a Vault. We Engineered It That Way.
We know this matters — and it should. Your customer lists, invoices, AI conversations, your entire business lives in our system. So here's our commitment, plain and simple:
Every byte of your data is encrypted — at rest and in transit. Even our own engineers cannot read your business records.
Your account is protected by your personal email and phone number. If anyone tries to access your account who isn't you, we block them and lock them out of our servers entirely.
Your AI conversations — every diagnostic chat, every voice note, every email you write with our AI — stays between you and your screen. We never share it, sell it, or train AI models with your private data.
We don't sell your data. We don't share it with advertisers. We don't let third parties access your customer list. Your business data is yours alone — protected like it was our own.
Security isn't a checkbox we ticked. It's the bedrock we built everything on. Your trust is the one thing we can't afford to lose.
