Repair Shop Operations, Native to Odoo

Run vehicle intake, job cards, technician and parts assignment, labor time, cost sheets and invoicing from one workspace — with a visible approved-estimate baseline so added costs are never a surprise on the final bill.

The problem

Independent garages run repair operations across paper job cards, spreadsheets, and disconnected invoicing tools. Parts costs get lost, labor goes under-billed, and nobody can answer “is my car ready” without walking the bay.

The solution

One repair order carries the vehicle, technician, parts, and labor from intake to invoice. Parts consumption updates real inventory, the cost sheet rolls up automatically, and the customer-approved estimate stays the visible baseline throughout the job.

Capabilities

Everything the shop floor needs

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Repair Order Lifecycle

An auditable state machine takes every job from draft through estimate, approval, in progress, waiting on parts, completed, and invoiced — so nothing falls through the cracks.

02

Vehicle & Customer Records

Capture make, model, VIN, and odometer against every vehicle, linked to its owner, with the full repair history one click away.

03

Multi-Item Repair Orders

Combine several services and parts under one repair order instead of forcing separate transactions for a single customer visit.

04

Technician Assignment & Workload

Assign jobs to technicians and see, per technician, how many orders are open and how many have been completed.

05

Parts Consumption Tied to Inventory

Marking a job completed moves the parts used out of stock automatically, so on-hand quantity and job cost both stay accurate.

06

Labor Time Tracking

Log hours per technician per job. The hourly rate defaults from the technician record and stays editable line by line.

07

Automatic Cost Sheet

Parts cost and labor cost roll up into one total automatically — a simple breakdown a shop owner can read without accounting training.

08

Approved Estimate Baseline

Approving an estimate snapshots its cost as the baseline. Any cost added afterward shows up as a visible variance, never a silent overage.

09

Checklists & One-Click Invoicing

Structured checklists document what was inspected and repaired. Once completed, convert the job straight into a customer invoice with one click.

Workflow

How it works

1

Intake the Vehicle

Log the vehicle and customer, then add the services and parts the job needs.

2

Send & Approve Estimate

Send the cost estimate to the customer; approval locks in the baseline cost.

3

Work the Job

Start the repair, pause for backordered parts if needed, and mark it completed.

4

Invoice

Convert the completed job into a customer invoice in one click.

Questions

Frequently asked

No sales fog. If your question isn't here, email us and we'll answer it the same way.

Yes. Marking a repair order completed creates a real stock move for every part line, which decrements the on-hand quantity in your warehouse — not just a cosmetic quantity field.
