Your daily workflow.

No training manuals. No onboarding calls. No manual workarounds. If you can tap a screen, you can run your shop.

1. Create. Assign. Go. Intake a vehicle, assign a technician, log the requested work. Takes 60 seconds.
2. Track real-time. Parts, labor, time — tracked as the job moves through the shop. Nothing falls through the cracks.
3. Invoice. Done. Invoice generated from the job. Email or PDF in seconds.

Your shop is running you, not the other way around.

Most shop owners are great at the work. The business side — that's where it falls apart. Third Gear Shop fixes that without adding complexity.

• Work orders on paper — lost, unreadable, and impossible to find when a customer calls back
• No idea which jobs made money — parts cost, labor, and margin are all a guess
• Chasing unpaid invoices — manually, from memory, with no visibility
• Third Gear Shop — every job, every tech, every dollar tracked. In one place. On your phone.

Built for the work, not the paperwork.

One system. Open a job, add parts, track time, send an invoice — no switching apps, no filing cabinets, no lost work.

Job Board

Visual board shows every job in the shop — intake, in progress, waiting on parts, complete. Your whole day at a glance.

Parts & Inventory

Track parts per job. Mark installed or billable. Low stock alerts so you're never caught off guard mid-repair.

Time Tracking

Log technician hours by job. See labor cost vs. revenue on every build with visual charts. Know exactly what each job actually cost you.

Technician Management

Built for shops. Not dealerships.

Third Gear Shop was built by someone who grew up in the car scene — not a Silicon Valley startup trying to sell software to an industry they don't understand. We know what it's like to lose a work order, chase an unpaid invoice from memory, and wonder if the shop actually made money this month.

This software exists because the tools out there are either too expensive, too complicated, or built for dealerships — not independent shops. We're fixing that.

Started by a shop owner. Still run by shop owners.

Your shop deserves better software.

Set up in 15 minutes. No IT department needed. Just you, your team, and the work.
