All trademarks belong to their owners. OnixDesk is not affiliated with or endorsed by them.

Talk to your shop

Type one sentence. Alex opens the work order.

Example: the shop owner types “Open a work order for John's 2015 Camry, front brakes.” Alex, the built-in assistant, replies: “Done. Work order #1042 is open for John's 2015 Toyota Camry: front brake pads and rotors. Want me to text John when it's ready?” and a work-order card for the 2015 Toyota Camry appears.

Shop software shouldn't fight you.

Too expensive.

AutoLeap and Tekmetric list plans from $199/mo billed monthly. OnixDesk starts at $20/mo.

Too complicated.

Skip the training. Ask in plain English, and confirm anything risky.

Too many clicks.

One sentence instead of ten screens: “Text Maria her car is ready.”
