Estimate the job. Sell the hours. Keep the ticket.
Estimates, repair orders, invoices, receipts and multi point inspections built from your own parts cost, markup and door rate. Every answer becomes paperwork a customer signs and a shop can file.
Built for one trade, and it shows in the fields
Lugtorq has no landscaping module, no salon module and no restaurant module, and it is not going to get one. Every field on every screen is there because a vehicle in a bay needs it: the plate, the mileage in, the book hours sold, the parts at cost and the markup on them.
The paperwork a vehicle generates, from the first phone call to the ticket the customer signs
- The estimate is priced from your parts cost and your book hours, not ours. Parts at cost with your markup, the hours you are selling at your door rate, sublet with its own margin, shop supplies and tax on parts. Change the markup and the total moves while the customer is still on the phone, which is when the number matters.
- One record from the estimate to the invoice, against the vehicle. The estimate becomes the repair order, the repair order becomes the invoice, and all three sit against the same customer and plate. Next year, when the same car comes back, the history is there without anybody digging through a filing box.
- The multi point inspection that justifies the work you recommend. A checklist sized to what is on the lift, with the findings you photographed attached to the repair order. It is what turns declined work into approved work, and it is the record that says what you told the customer and when.
