The operations center for automotive service shops
Phones and texts, quotes and e-sign, online booking, the bay board, invoices and payments, reviews and ads. One login, one flat price.
14-day free trial, no credit card required, flat plans from $79/mo
A shop owner at her laptop and in the bay, a customer paying at the counter, and the calendar, quote, job board and payment panels drawn over the pictures.
The short answer
Service VIN is the operations center an automotive service shop runs on. One login carries the phone line and texting, live margin quotes with e-sign, 24/7 booking with deposits, the bay board, invoices and card payments, reviews and Google Ads, and an AI front desk that answers the calls you miss.
Bottom line: Start with the call you missed on the Operations plan at $299 a month, or move the whole shop across. Both begin with the same 14-day free trial.
Detailing, PPF, tint, wrap and ceramic shops run their day on it: quoting from the roll, booking from the phone, invoicing before the car leaves.

ServiceVin's AI message composer is hands down the best feature I’ve used in software like this. It drafts complete, accurate replies directly in my inbox by automatically pulling package prices and checking my calendar availability. No more taking screenshots or jumping back and forth between external AI tools and my calendar. It saves me so much time every day and works seamlessly.

Service VIN, one login
About six separate subscriptions on a typical shop's card, replaced by one bill: an example stack, not an average of our customers.
“The hard part of this trade was never the work in the bay. It's everything around it.”
Service VIN was built inside a working PPF and detailing shop in Canada, because nothing on the market could cost a quote from the roll on the rack or chase a quiet quote from inside a bay. A missed call there wasn't a notification. It was a job that went to whoever picked up. So the tools got built at night, then rebuilt properly. This is the software that shop runs on today.
Your own business number, texting on a carrier-registered line.
Every call recorded, transcribed and summarised on the customer.
Card payments that settle into your own Stripe account, not ours.
Google Ads and review replies wired to the jobs they produced.
A booking storefront of your own that takes the deposit up front.
The crew clocked on, and their pay worked out from the same jobs.
A CRM is a list. This is the day.
The front desk
Every missed call answered in seconds. The quote you promised, drafted before you hang up. Booked straight into your calendar.
It answers from your real services, your real prices and your real calendar — and writes the booking into them. No migration, no data to move — it runs beside whatever you use today.
Included on the Operations plan, $299/mowith your business number
Every detail, the A2P disclosure and eight plain answers are on the front desk page.
The rest of the crew
Meet all 14 agentsA customer reading a text in her parked car, a shop owner at her laptop and at the shop's glass door, and the call, text-thread, quote, calendar and review panels drawn over the pictures.
Build a quote line by line and watch margin update live, costed from your real material and labour cost, not a guess. The customer approves online, picks add-ons, pays a deposit, and the yes becomes an invoice and a scheduled job on its own.
The whole rail, quote to receipt, is on the Quotes & Invoicing page.
An example quote assembling: full-front paint protection film at $2,190 on $612 of cost, windshield protection film at $420 on $118, and a two-layer ceramic coat at $680 on $95: a $3,290 total at 74 percent margin, approved online with a $500 deposit paid. Example prices, not a rate card.
Quote #248

Google can only count what it can see: clicks, form fills, calls started. Service VIN owns the other half, the quote, the booked bay and the paid invoice, and grades every campaign in jobs and dollars. An agency can't do the return leg and your old shop software can't do the bidding leg, so the loop takes one system that owns both ends.
Campaigns are created paused, imported ones start report-only, and your daily ceiling is never crossed. Every guardrail is on the Google Ads Autopilot page.
The evening of typing (every service, every price, the hours grid, the hex code buried in your website) is the evening that decides whether new software gets used. Paste your website; the Setup Assistant proposes the whole shop and writes nothing until you approve.
Already have a book? Send us your export and we load it for you. Target: 48 hours from your file.
How it reads a site is on the Setup Assistant page. Bringing a customer book? Import moves it.
An example run of the Setup Assistant: given a shop's website address it proposes fourteen priced services, the hours and timezone, the brand colour taken from the site's CSS and the shop's tone of voice, and flags the tax rate and whether the shop does mobile jobs as questions for the owner rather than guessing. Nothing is written until the owner applies it.
31 features, eight areas, one login. A lead becomes a quote, a quote becomes a booked bay, and a finished job becomes a paid invoice and a five-star review.

Every price is public. The pricing page prints the flat plans and the seat policy, and the switch page lists three things you can watch happen, or undo, rather than take our word for.

Every plan includes the owner app and the installer app: your shop on your phone, your crew on theirs, added to the home screen with no app store.
Appearance and cosmetic shops first: paint protection film, window tint, vinyl wrap, ceramic coating and detailing, mobile or bricks and mortar. Repair, tire, lube, dent and car audio shops run the front desk and marketing layer beside the shop system they already have, because we do not do parts catalogues or labour times.
For most shops it takes the place of a separate business phone line, a texting app, a quoting tool, a booking page, a paper or whiteboard bay board, an invoicing tool and a review-request service. It does not replace your accounting: QuickBooks Online and Xero are integrations, not things we try to be.
Flat monthly pricing for the whole shop with no per-seat charge: Essentials $79, Growth $199, Operations $299, Command $399 in US dollars, two months free on annual billing, and unlimited team logins from Growth up. Adding an installer, a front-desk hire and a detailer never moves the bill. The pricing page carries what is in each plan.
Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with every feature unlocked, and no credit card is asked for. Nothing is charged during the trial and nothing converts automatically when it ends: you pick a plan when you are ready, or you do not.
Yes. Calls ring your phone first, so you always get to pick up. On a genuine miss the caller gets a text from your own business number within seconds, the quote is drafted from your own service catalog and prices, and the booking is written into your own calendar. That is the Operations plan at $299 a month.
Yes. There are native import presets for Urable, Tint Wiz and OrbisX, plus QuickBooks Online, Zoho Books and any CSV, covering customers, vehicles, invoice history, job history and open leads. Imported records are held apart from the live messaging rails, so a back catalogue can never text somebody who has not heard from you in two years.
Yes, and it was built in one. Your shop sets one tax rate and every invoice line is taxable or exempt against it, so GST or HST is a setting rather than a workaround, and the sales-tax report gives your bookkeeper the taxable base, the exempt base and the tax actually charged. There is no per-province split on a single invoice. Texting needs no carrier registration in Canada, and plans are billed in US dollars.
