Websites and booking portals for independent auto repair shops

Most auto repair shop websites are a phone number and a list of services. We build sites that book the job, portals that show customers where their car is, and memberships that bring them back, alongside the shop software you already run.

What we build for shops

Start with one piece or build them together.

  • A website that books: customers pick a service and an open time, and the request lands at your counter
  • Live repair status, so customers check the stage and the estimate instead of calling to ask
  • Messages tied to the repair, so approvals are on record instead of on someone's cell phone
  • Digital inspections with photos and video that customers approve or decline item by item
  • Memberships and member-only offers, sold online or at the counter
  • End-of-day cash closeouts and reports for the owner

Built from behind the counter

Blueframe's founder works in management at an independent repair shop, writing tickets and running alignments. So we build for how a counter actually runs: the phone ringing, a full lot, and a customer waiting on an approval.

How a project runs

  1. Step 1

    Free scope review

    We look at how work moves through your business today and agree on a fixed scope, price, and timeline before any code is written.

  2. Step 2

    Build in 2 to 4 weeks

    We build in a fixed window. You see progress every week, and the scope doesn't drift.

  3. Step 3

    Launch and tune

    We launch, walk your team through it, and tune it through the first weeks of real use.

Questions owners ask

Do I have to replace my shop management software?
No. We build alongside the shop software you already run. Customers get booking, repair status, and messages; your team keeps its workflow.
Do my customers need to download an app?
No. Everything runs in the browser on any phone or computer, so there is nothing to install.
How long does a shop website take?
Most shop sites ship in 2 to 4 weeks once the scope is set. A portal with booking and repair status is a bigger build, and the scope review gives you a fixed timeline before any work starts.
