Repair Tracker
Customers see where their car is in the visit: checked in, being diagnosed, waiting on approval, in repair, quality checked, or ready for pickup. Fewer update calls hit the front desk.
Working prototype · Automotive
Auto Repair Shop app prototype, ready to try before you build.
Explore a working auto repair shop app prototype with repair tracker, book service, and photo repair approvals. Customize it yourself or have Mistflow Studio build the approved screens, style, and flow.
This is a working mobile prototype, not a shipped app. Mistflow can turn it into a native iPhone and Android app after you confirm the screens, platform details, and integrations.
Prototype screenReady to explore
Built for auto repair shop work
The friction this app is designed to remove.
Not a generic app template. This prototype starts with the moments that cost your team time or leave customers waiting.
- Your service advisors spend half the day answering 'is my car ready yet' calls instead of checking in vehicles and selling work.
- Repairs stall because a customer misses your call about a worn brake pad, torn belt, or added diagnostic time.
- Customers forget what was done last visit, so oil changes, tire rotations, and bigger maintenance items fall through the cracks.
- Warning-light calls come in with vague descriptions, and the tech only gets the real symptoms after the car is already in the bay.
- Texting photos, estimates, and ready times from different phones makes the shop look less organized than the work you actually do.
Inside the prototype
Specific tools for your auto repair shop.
Keep what fits, change what does not, and add the details that make the workflow yours.
Book Service
Customers choose oil change, brakes, warning light, tires, inspection, or other service, then describe symptoms before they arrive so your advisor and tech are prepared.
Photo repair approvals
When a technician finds extra work, the customer gets photos, a plain-English note, the price, and buttons to approve or decline. No more waiting all afternoon for a callback.
Ready time updates
Customers see the estimated ready time and get notified if it changes because parts are late, diagnosis took longer, or extra work was approved.
My Garage
Each customer keeps their vehicles in one place with year, make, model, mileage, past visits, completed repairs, and upcoming maintenance.
Advisor Chat
Customers message the shop about their current repair, pickup timing, or a warning light without calling the main line five times.
Service history and maintenance reminders
Customers can see past oil changes, brake work, battery replacements, and inspections, then get reminders when routine maintenance is coming due.

Example workflows
How it could work day to day.
Use these examples to judge whether the flow matches your business before you commit to building it.
- 01A customer's check engine light comes on. They open Bayline, choose Book Service, select warning light, describe the noise and when it happens, add their vehicle from My Garage, and pick a drop-off time.
- 02The technician finds rear brake pads are low. The advisor sends photos, a short explanation, and the estimate through the app. The customer approves from their phone, so the repair keeps moving.
- 03A customer at work checks Repair Tracker instead of calling. They see the car is waiting on a part, the ready time moved to 4:30, and the advisor note explains why.
- 04After pickup, the customer opens My Garage and sees the completed oil change, new battery, mileage, and the next recommended tire rotation reminder.

Have Mistflow build itBuying questions
Know exactly what you are starting with.
Clear answers about the prototype, the finished build, and your two paths forward.
Is this auto repair shop app finished?
No. The screens on this page are a working prototype: you can explore the flow, but it is not a shipped customer app. The finished app is built after you approve or customize the prototype.
Can I start with this exact prototype?
Yes. Build my version carries this exact prototype into Mistflow, including its screens, style, and flow. You can change it before the finished app is built.
What can I customize for my auto repair shop?
You can change the branding, wording, steps, and features. This prototype currently demonstrates Repair Tracker, Book Service, and Photo repair approvals, and you can keep, remove, or reshape those parts around the way your business works.
Can customers approve repairs with photos?
Yes. In the finished app, you can send photos of worn tires, leaking hoses, brake pads, filters, or other findings with the estimate. The customer can approve or decline from their phone so the bay is not stuck waiting.
Can it show repair status without exposing shop notes?
Yes. In the finished app, customers see clear, friendly statuses like diagnosed, waiting on approval, in repair, or ready for pickup. Internal notes can stay internal while customers still feel informed.
How much does it cost to turn this into a finished app?
For self-serve, you use a Mistflow subscription; current plan prices are listed on the pricing page. Mistflow Studio is a separate $4,900 fixed service for a 14-day native iPhone and Android app build. Scope is confirmed before work starts.
