Automotive RepairCompensation Management3MediumOwner$ implied
Auto repair technicians and shop owners are struggling with the flat-rate pay system, which does not fairly compensate for all work hours and lacks productivity incentives.
Flat rate does not pay for all hours worked (e.g., training, cleaning, warranty work) and fails to incentivize productivity in a balanced way.

- Compensation software that combines hourly pay with productivity incentives for auto repair
App Concept
TechPay Pro
A compensation management platform for auto repair shops that combines an hourly base pay with productivity bonuses. It tracks billable hours, non-billable tasks (training, shop duties), and technician efficiency to calculate fair, transparent pay. Shop owners can set custom bonus thresholds, and technicians get real-time earnings visibility.
Key Features
- Track billable and non-billable hours with clock-in/out per job
- Set hourly base pay and productivity bonus rules (e.g., bonus when hours billed exceed 40/week)
- Real-time earnings dashboard for technicians
- Integrates with common shop management systems (e.g., Mitchell, ALLDATA)
Target Users: Auto repair shop owners with 2-20 technicians who want to move away from flat-rate pay to a fairer, productivity-based model
Revenue Model: $50/mo per shop (up to 5 techs), plus $10/mo per additional tech
