LANKAR review
A low-cost all-in-one system for core shop operations, inspections, billing and customer communication.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
LANKAR is cloud-based automotive repair shop management software for independent repair shops, multi-store operators and franchises in the United States and Canada. It brings work orders, professional invoicing and payments, built-in accounting, parts and inventory tracking, scheduling, customer relationship management and vehicle service history into one system. Digital vehicle inspections support photos and video, while estimates can be sent for digital approval. Technician assignment and time tracking add operational coverage for shops managing multiple technicians.
The published plans show a $99-per-month Base subscription with one user license, live online training and phone technical support. Shops can add user licenses for $50 per user per month. Multi-store management is available at $25 per store per month, while Text Messaging supports incoming and outgoing texts and Promotional Emails supports promotional email sending. The pricing page displays US-dollar pricing, and Canadian fees are billed in CAD under the terms. The overall structure suits a small shop starting with one user, but teams should account for additional licenses and communication features when estimating monthly costs.
LANKAR’s strongest fit is a shop that wants broad core coverage in one product, including accounting, inspections, approvals, payments, inventory, technician time tracking and customer communication. Vehicle and service history migration can help organize existing records, and inspections are available from phones and tablets. Integrations are identified across POS, parts catalogs, payroll and messaging, although the product is positioned around web access rather than a broader platform ecosystem. Choose LANKAR for consolidated shop administration at a stated $99 monthly starting price; consider another option if a free plan, extensive integration detail or a larger included user allowance is central to the buying decision.
