Way Repair Tech review
Repair workflow tools with MOTOR lookup and multi-shop reporting.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Way Repair Tech is shop management software for independent auto repair businesses, with tools for estimates, repair orders, inspections, inventory, invoicing, and technician time tracking. It suits shops that want customers to review and approve estimates and inspection findings on their phones, while technicians can access repair orders and MOTOR repair guides through a mobile app. Its scope extends from individual shop workflows to multi-location operations.
The plans separate repair-data access from shop management. Way Repair Diagnostic focuses on repair and diagnostic lookups, labor-rate and tax configuration, saved quotes, and role-based permissions. Way Repair Tech adds estimates, repair orders, job management, technician time tracking, invoicing, inventory, a technician app, and QuickBooks integration. Elite includes those tools plus labor-time and OEM parts lookup, parts-ordering integrations, purchase orders, and priority chat and phone support. Enterprise adds a multi-location dashboard, location-based reporting, dedicated implementation and training, an account manager, and 24/7 priority support. The product is paid and has no free plan.
MOTOR lookup is a distinctive fit for shops that rely on its repair guides and labor times. Other listed connections include QuickBooks, PartsTech, Nexpart, and CARFAX. Estimate approval by text, digital inspections with photos and notes, and text-to-pay help connect customer communication with shop work. The main trade-off is that features are tiered: multi-location reporting and dedicated implementation sit in Enterprise, while parts ordering integrations and purchase orders are in Elite. A single shop needing core estimates, orders, inventory, and invoicing may find the standard shop-management plan more relevant; operations seeking multi-shop oversight should consider Enterprise.
