Auto Shop Document Automation - Print Work Orders & Estimates Automatically
Automatically print work orders, parts quotes, and customer authorizations. Technicians get the paperwork the moment they need it - no waiting, no hunting.
7:45 AM - First Car on the Lift
Customer scheduled for brake job. Work order in the shop management email. But the tech is at Bay 3. Service writer is on the phone. Work order sits in email while the clock ticks.
The Front Desk Bottleneck
Every work order, parts quote, and customer authorization flows through email. Service writers print each one manually. Techs wait. Cars wait. Revenue waits.
What goes wrong:
- • Techs standing around waiting for work orders
- • Parts quotes arrive but sit in email
- • Customer authorizations missed, work delayed
- • Service writers buried in admin instead of selling
Result: Lower bay efficiency, frustrated techs, lost revenue
Every minute a tech waits for paperwork is a minute they're not turning wrenches
Appointment Scheduled? Work Order Prints.
Customer books online. Shop management system sends email. Work order prints at the shop printer. Tech grabs it and gets started. Zero wait time. Zero hunting.
Techs Wrench, Service Writers Sell
- No more: Techs walking to the front desk for paperwork
- No more: Service writers buried in print jobs
- No more: Authorizations sitting unnoticed in email
- Just: Documents at the printer when they're needed
Result: Higher bay efficiency, more cars through the shop
Techs start work immediately, service writers focus on customers

Techs Working, Not Waiting
“My service writers used to spend half their morning printing work orders. Techs would walk up front asking 'where's my ticket?' Now work orders print automatically when customers schedule online. Techs grab them and get started. We're doing 2 more cars per day just from eliminating the paperwork delays.”

Tony Ramirez
Auto Shop Owner
"Customer authorizations print the second they sign online. No more waiting for someone to check email. Tech sees the approval at the printer and continues the repair immediately."
