Run your shop by talking to it.
CarLifeOS runs an independent repair shop's counter in one app: check-ins, the calendar, the phone, repair orders, invoices and your website, with an assistant built in. You say what you need and it does the clicking. You choose what waits for your OK, and every change is logged.
A sketch of CarLifeOS, not a screenshot. Every change in it is logged, whether you made it or the assistant did.
- 1flat price per shop
- 12languages on the kiosk
- 100+things the assistant can do
- 0contracts to sign
One app, from the first check-in to the last invoice.
Follow one Tuesday at a made-up shop. Each card is one moment from that day, not a screen from the app.
Walk-ins sign themselves in. You see them on your phone.
Customers check in on the counter iPad. The visit shows up on every computer and phone in the shop, so you can walk the lot with the list in your hand.
- See who's waiting and who's done at a glance
- Write up the repair order, take photos or ask the assistant right from the visit
- Photograph the plate, VIN or odometer and the photo lands on that visit

Book it on the calendar. It shows up in Google Calendar too.
You see which technician is free before you promise a time. Booking takes a minute: the customer, the car, the work and a free slot.
- Day, week and month, with your shop hours built in
- A warning before you double-book anyone
- Google Calendar in the direction you pick: to Google, from Google, or both
- Customers with an email on file get a reminder before the visit
The shop phone rings right in the app.
Answer on any computer that has CarLifeOS open. While you talk, you already know whose car it is, what's open on it and what they've approved.
- Missed calls and voicemail wait until someone handles them
- One phonebook for customers and the places you call: parts, tires, the tow
- A note on how each call ended, so the next person knows
Paperwork that holds up, and that customers can read.
Every estimate and invoice shows what the customer approved, and when. Built to New York's rules, the strictest in the game, so it stands up anywhere.
- A cash price and a card price, if you price them differently
- Paid to date and balance due on the page
- A PDF record copy filed with the order, every time
You decide what the assistant does on its own.
Every action the assistant can take is on one list, over a hundred of them. Pick which ones run on their own and which stop and ask you first.
- The ones built to ask first always ask, whatever the setting
- Teach it your shop: warranty terms, how you quote, the rules you give new hires
- A list of what it couldn't do yet, so you can see the gaps
Four of over a hundred. Switch any of them to ask first.
Drag the handle to see the counter before and after. Arrow keys work too.
The anatomy of an ask
Say it out loud or type it. Here is everything that happens before you finish your coffee.
"Open an RO for the Civic1, oil change2 plus that brake noise3."
Finds Sofia's car from the kiosk check-in, the plate, or just how you usually say it. Wrong guess? It asks instead of assuming.
Your services, your labor rates, your fees. Not internet prices. The draft comes back ready to hand to the customer.
"That brake noise" becomes a brake inspection line on a compliant work order, built to New York's rules, the strictest in the game.
Then it stops and shows you a confirm card. A new repair order waits for your OK, and every action lands in a permanent log.
Throw out, plug in.
Everything a one-location shop needs to run the counter, the phone, the paperwork and the customers.
Customers check themselves in on a counter iPad, in twelve languages, even when the internet is down.

The things owners actually ask.
Is my shop data mine?
Completely. Every week CarLifeOS writes your customers, vehicles, and repair history to plain spreadsheet files, each one read back and verified after it lands so a silent truncation can't pass, and you can trigger a fresh export any time from Settings. Ask and we hand you the files. Leave whenever you like and take everything with you.
Do I need new hardware?
Any computer with a browser. For the sign-in kiosk, any iPad works, or you can add one from us for $39 a month while they're available.
Does it work with Google Calendar?
Yes, if you want it to. A shop admin can connect the shop's Google account: your appointments go onto a calendar CarLifeOS keeps in your Google Calendar, and the calendars you pick show up beside your appointments. Disconnect any time. The privacy policy says exactly what it reads and keeps.
Can it answer my shop's phone?
Your shop's line rings in CarLifeOS on any computer at the counter, and whoever picks up sees who is calling and their car. It's an add-on, $79 a month on either plan, with unlimited calling in the US and Canada. Setup takes two weeks, and you keep your number or get a new local one. The line can't call 911, so keep a regular phone at the shop for emergencies.
Does it text my customers?
Not today. Appointment reminders go out by email, and the shop phone is for calls.
Does it replace what I use now?
It replaces the shop management software you run the counter on: repair orders, estimates and invoices, customers and vehicles, payments recorded, end-of-day. It does not replace your card machine, and on purpose.
What happens when the internet goes down?
The sign-in kiosk falls back to an offline form automatically and queues the check-ins to sync when the connection returns, so the front counter never stops.
Can I trust an AI with my shop?
Questions get answered instantly. Bigger changes, like opening a repair order or booking an appointment, show you a confirm card with the exact change and wait. In Settings you can make any action wait for you, and every one lands in a permanent log with who asked for it.
