One platform · for independent auto repair shops

FluxFront, on the floor
The platform, in detail
Not a wedge, not a bolt on. The whole surface of running a shop, from the first ring to the repeat visit, built to work together. Here's the tour.
01 Voice & phone · meet Aria
Aria picks up 24/7, recognizes returning customers and the vehicles on their file, and books straight into your live calendar. When it needs a human, she transfers to your advisor, and falls back to a message if no one's there. Call her yourself at the number on the right and test it.
02 Two-way SMS · virtual agent
It recognizes the customer and their vehicle the moment they text, replies in your shop’s voice, and runs the whole conversation: booking, rescheduling, cancelling and answering the usual questions.
Then 31+ editable templates cover every confirmation, reminder, payment and follow up. STOP keyword and CASL footer built in.
03 Online booking · Calendar
A branded booking page with vehicle intake, service durations and deposit collection. Customers reschedule by magic link, no account. Two-way Google Calendar sync keeps every bay and advisor honest.
04 Repair orders
Drag work orders across the state machine. Three Cs on every job, photo attachments, a full event log, and magic link approval with a signature pad. The 10% overage cap is enforced automatically, and every approval is snapshot hashed for dispute defense.
05 Digital Vehicle Inspections
Four prebuilt templates: Courtesy, Seasonal, Pre Purchase and Post Repair QC (105 items). Or build your own. Tap to cycle severity, capture photo and video, and convert any finding into a work order line in one tap. The customer reviews the photos and signs on their phone.
06 Parts · Invoicing Coming soon
Search NAPA, WorldPac, Bumper to Bumper and CarQuest in one place; wholesale prices auto populate onto the RO. The invoice renders with parts condition, line by line HST, shop supplies and environmental fees as their own lines, exactly as Ontario requires.
07 Payments · Stripe
Tap to Pay on iPhone, a Stripe Terminal reader, or a pay after service SMS link. Save a card on file, take a deposit at booking, charge a no show fee, all with consent and off session safety checks. Branded PDF receipt every time.
08 Service reminders · recurring revenue
Set the rules once: oil change every 5,000 km, brake inspection every 6 months, seasonal tire swaps. FluxFront computes a reminder for every vehicle and texts it in hours. This is the recurring revenue engine that fills next month's calendar.
09 Reporting · Dashboards
ARO, AR aging, parts margin, the conversion funnel, missed call recovery and MRR, aggregated nightly and loaded fast. Slice by today, this week, this month, or a custom range, right down to a single mechanic.
10 Works on every screen
The same FluxFront on a Mac in the office, an iPad at the front counter, and an iPhone out in the bay. Dashboards, POS, booking, DVI and Apple Tap to Pay, wherever you're standing.
11 Staff, locations & logins
Run a single shop or a dozen from one account. Real roles, per staff schedules, service offerings and custom pricing, plus per location bays, staff and reporting so each site stands on its own.
The full inventory
Every feature, grouped by how the shop actually works. Tap a group to open it. All of it ships today, on one platform.
Built in Canada for Canadian shops
Most platforms treat Canada as an afterthought, then bolt it on later. We built here from day one, billed in Canadian dollars, no FX surprises, support on your clock, and the Ontario paperwork handled so you never think about it.
Hover the markers. Every statutory requirement under the Repair Act is built into the invoice, not a template you assemble or a checkbox you remember.
Missed call calculator
Honest math, every assumption shown. No “10x your shop”. Just the calls your shop misses, and what the after hours catcher could put back on the calendar.
Honest math: every missed call the agent catches is a chance to book. We don’t assume you win them all, just the share you set above.
Pricing
One plan and one add on. Billed monthly in Canadian dollars, cancel anytime. The price you see is the price you pay.
Everything to run the shop. No tiers, no upsell.
Free 48 hour migration
The data migration is what keeps shops stuck on software they hate. We pull your customers, vehicles, and history off your current platform and stand you up in two days, while you keep working.
No annual contract. We send one secure form to authorize the data pull.
Customers, vehicles, service history and open ROs come off AllData, AutoLeap, Tekmetric or Shopmonkey.
One session with your advisors and techs, in shop floor language, not software jargon.
Writing ROs, texting customers, taking payment. Old platform cancelled.
There's no self serve trial yet, so the fastest way to see FluxFront is a 15 minute call where we walk it through live on your shop's numbers. We keep slots inside 48 hours because that's when shops actually show up.
