Automotive RepairCompensation Management4HighTechnician$ implied
An auto repair technician flat-rate pay system results in unpaid diagnostic time when a problem cannot be quickly found, and management manipulates work allocations, causing wasted effort and financial loss.
No software exists that tracks and compensates technicians for diagnostic time separately from repair time under flat-rate pay, nor that prevents management from misallocating work hours across pay periods.

- Time-logging per job phase: diagnosis vs repair
- Built-in pay rules engine (flat rate, hourly, commission)
- Auto-generated compensation reports for tech and manager
- Audit trail of work assignment changes with timestamps
Target Users: Auto repair technicians and shop managers at dealerships and independent shops (2-50 techs)
Revenue Model: $9/month per technician + $49/month per shop subscription
