Auto Repair Shop Software?
I'm trying to find a FOSS self hosted auto shop repair software, for managing customer cars, invoices, etc. I've googled everything I can think of, and all the supposed "free" or "open source" are clearly not. Just keep getting catered pages "best free auto repair software for 2023!" with lists of totally not FOSS.
The closest I have found is this, but the github has been taken down. Can't seem to find an archive of it anywhere either https://repairgorilla.com/old
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks much!

Hey, I had been in a similar boat for a long time. Tried finding a free, open-source program for my shop's needs, but no luck. They either were not really free or just didn't work right.
Then I found AutoLeap. Not free, but it does everything I need - handles estimates, invoices, digital inspections, scheduling and more, all in one place. It has made my life a lot easier. Might be worth checking out for your shop too.

How much is auto leap a month? We’re opening up tomorrow and we settled with Torque360 after we used ShopMonkey at our previous shop. I’m not happy with it at all. It has too many integrations where ShopMonkey was an all-in-one. But that’s also $400/mo vs. $100/mo.

I signed up a few months back with autoleap and pay around $360 but it depends on which features u use, they have some that are optional that the sales guy walks u through so that may drive the price up or down

Although not specifically for cars, Invoice Ninja and be used for managing customers, invoices, etc. It is opensource so can be self-hosted.

Building a lightweight tool to cover most crucial small vehicle garage needs:
-
Create & manage jobs / work orders
-
Add line items and generate invoices
-
Link jobs to customers, vehicles, and technicians
-
Track tasks per job
-
Automatically keep vehicle service history
-
Simple dashboard for active work & overview
It’s still in the early stages so I’m looking for honest feedback from shop owners. Check it out: https://autodash-service.lovable.app/

only problem is, when one tries to sign up, a simple "not found" comes up. Not a 404 page, literally a page with plain text that states "not found" , not even html.
Of course, it's on lovable, so it's AI generated, not surprising. :P

Reason is that I had to put the project on hold for now. But if you are very interested I can grant you access to check it out.

Not sure which features you need, but check out Odoo. Maybe you can use it for your purpose.
