One connected system for the whole repair shop

Strut PlatformRun the shop from first call to final payment.

Strut connects booking, scheduling, repair orders, customer and vehicle records, invoices, and payments so your team is not rebuilding the same job across different tools.

Full platform launch pricing: $40 CAD/month.

Every job keeps its context

Customer, vehicle, schedule, repair, invoice, and payment details stay attached as work moves through the shop.

Shop operating loop

One record travels from booking to payment.

Strut gives each job a clear path. The customer, vehicle, estimate, repair order, invoice, and payment keep the same context.

  1. Book

    Customer picks a real opening

  2. Quote

    Advisor prices the repair

  3. Repair

    Bay, tech, and parts stay visible

  4. Paid

    Invoice closes the loop

Booking starts the connected workflow

The first request already belongs to the job, customer, and invoice.

Public booking is one entry point into Strut. Customers choose a service and location, your team keeps capacity control, and the same details keep moving through the shop.

Ready for every branch

Give each branch a clean route while the repair group keeps one brand path.

Booking connects to customer records, vehicles, repair orders, schedule visibility, invoices, and payments, so the first click can keep moving through the shop.

The shops that win the booking also win the follow-up work.

Strut starts at the moment a customer decides to book, then keeps the same job moving through the bay, the invoice, and the next visit.

What slows the counter

Manual booking slows down the whole shop

The front desk becomes the booking system

Customers call for times, staff check the calendar, then somebody still has to enter the job.

After-hours demand leaks away

A customer ready at 9:40 PM cannot book, so the job goes to the shop with a live link.

Capacity is hard to trust

Bays, technicians, walk-ins, and promised pickup times drift apart when tools are separate.

Customer context gets rebuilt

Vehicle, service, estimate, and invoice history sit in different places instead of one record.

The Strut flow

Booking, repair, billing, and retention stay connected

Customers book from a link

Put Strut booking URLs on your site, Google profile, texts, emails, and counter cards.

The schedule protects capacity

Booking, bay visibility, technician assignment, and conflict checks stay tied together.

Quote to invoice, no leakage

Send quotes, track the repair, convert to invoice, and collect online payment from the same record.

Every visit builds the customer file

Customer profiles, vehicles, history, communication, and payment status stay searchable.

Platform map

The operating pieces a repair shop needs, wired together.

Strut is not another calendar bolted onto invoicing. Booking, scheduling, repair orders, customer records, and payments share the same shop data.

Booking

Public appointment booking

Customers request time from a branded path while your team keeps control of the calendar.

Schedule

Bay and technician load

See what is booked, what is open, who is assigned, and where conflicts need attention before the day slips.

Jobs

Repair order tracking

Move work from check-in to pickup with repair status, priority, parts hold, and assignment context.

Payments

Invoice and collect online

Build invoices, send payment links, track paid status, and keep the full repair record attached.

CRM

Customer and vehicle profiles

Search by customer, vehicle, phone, or VIN, then see service history without hunting.

Operations

Multi-location controls

Manage locations, staff, access, plans, and reporting from one platform as the business grows.

Links

Brand and location URLs

Use clean booking links for each shop location instead of ugly one-off slugs.

See the work move, not just the software screens.

Every screen has a job: capture the request, price the work, move the repair, invoice the customer, and collect payment.
