Mid-Atlantic AI · Shop Management Platform
You fix cars.
It runs the shop.
AutoShop AI books the job, inspects with photos, writes the estimate, texts the customer, and takes the payment. Everything between the first call and the paid invoice — handled while you're under the car.
Section 01 / Intake
Every missed call is a job someone else books
Your website takes the booking — vehicle, VIN decode, concern, preferred time, SMS consent — and the request lands on your dashboard as a lead before the customer has put their phone down.
No answering service. No voicemail roulette. No sticky notes.
- 5-step booking wizard with live NHTSA VIN decoding
- A2P-compliant SMS consent captured with audit trail
- Spam callers auto-screened; repeat abusers auto-blocked
Section 02 / Work orders
One screen per job. The whole job.
Customer, vehicle, concern, line items, mileage, tech assignment, payment state — a work order that moves itself through lead, scheduled, in progress, waiting parts, complete, invoiced, paid.
Change the status and the right things happen: the customer gets a text, the tech gets a push, the totals stay honest to the cent.
Section 03 / Digital inspections
Customers approve what they can see
45-point inspections with photos. Findings graded green / yellow / red, priced on the spot, and sent to the customer as a link they can approve from their couch.
Found something mid-job? Additional findings go out with their own approval — no awkward phone call, no "he said she said" when the bill arrives.
Section 04 / AI on the clipboard
The paperwork writes itself
Describe the symptom, get likely causes. Pick the repair, get factory-real labor times from a full operations guide. Hit write, get a customer-ready estimate in the shop's voice — not robot boilerplate.
The AI drafts. You approve. Nothing goes out without your say-so.
- Complaint analysis → suggested diagnoses
- Labor guide with vehicle-specific time modifiers
- Estimate & service writeups drafted by Claude
Section 05 / Customer comms
Texts they answer, in the language they speak
Status updates, estimate approvals, appointment reminders, thank-yous, review asks — sent automatically, in the customer's own language. Eight and counting.
Every call and text lives on one timeline next to the job, so anyone in the shop can pick up the thread.
Section 06 / In the pocket
Built for the tech, not the front desk
It's a mobile app the day you install it — no app store, no IT guy. Push notifications for new leads, missed calls, and parts arrivals. Works one-handed, greasy-thumbed, in the driveway.
Payments ride along: Square payment links with deposits, balances, and tips, straight from the job screen.
Provenance
Born on the floor of a working German-performance shop — not in a conference room.
AutoShop AI runs Deutsche Auto Sport, a mobile German-auto specialist in Fredericksburg, Virginia. Every feature exists because a real shop needed it that week — then got hardened, audited, and multi-tenanted so your shop can run on it too.
Hardened in the open: every release is scanned by PreFlight, Mid-Atlantic AI's own 117-probe static security auditor.
