DFW Auto Repair & Service

Auto shop IT that runs the bay.

Shop management software that doesn't kick you out at noon. Parts ordering connectors that stay connected. Wi-Fi that reaches the back bay through three concrete walls. Customer text reminders that actually send. Built for DFW auto shops.

Auto shops are tough RF environments.

Most shop owners don't realize their Wi-Fi problems aren't software — they're physics. Auto shops have everything Wi-Fi hates: concrete walls, metal racking, hydraulic lifts, big rolling doors that open and close all day. Drop a residential router on the front desk and signal degrades to nothing by bay 4.

The fix is industrial-grade access points spec'd for shop floors, with proper channel planning and a real site survey. We walk every bay, every parts room, and the customer waiting area before we quote. Then we install gear that actually works for years, not weeks.

Shop software that doesn't crash mid-RO.

Most "shop crashes" we get called for aren't software bugs — they're network drops, expired SSL certs, version-mismatch issues with parts vendor connectors. We monitor the boring stuff so the writer doesn't lose half a repair order at lunch.

Auto shop IT FAQ

What shop management software do you support?

Mitchell 1, Shop-Ware, Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, AutoLeap, Identifix, R.O. Writer. We don't replace vendor support — we make sure the network, devices, and integrations around the software run smoothly.

Can you handle multi-bay Wi-Fi that reaches the back of the shop?

Yes. Auto shops are tough RF environments — concrete, metal racking, lifts, big rolling doors. We do site surveys before we quote and install access points spec'd for industrial spaces, not residential.

What about parts ordering and supplier integrations?

WorldPac, NAPA, AutoZone Pro, Advance Auto Pro, O'Reilly First Call. Most of these need stable VPN or PC-based connectors — we set those up and keep them running.

Do you set up customer text reminders for service appointments?

Yes — most modern shop management platforms have this built in. We turn it on, configure templates, integrate with your appointment book, and make sure the right phone number is sending.

Can you also handle the office side — payroll, bookkeeping?

Yes. QuickBooks for bookkeeping, ADP/Gusto for payroll, WorkTrack for tech-hour tracking (included with managed IT). All integrated, all stable.
