Sometimes the repair wasn't urgent.
More Value. Smoother Operations. Fairer Pricing.
Affordable software built for independent automotive repair shops.
Use the tools you need. Keep the software you already have. Pay for nothing you don't.
Built With Independent Shops in Mind
Many automotive software platforms offer dozens of features, large monthly subscriptions, and tools your shop may never use. ShopFlowIQ takes a different approach. We build focused software around real problems independent repair shops face every day — then allow shops to use the tools that make sense for their operation.
Our goal is simple:
Give independent shops more value than we take.
Introducing Declined Repair Recovery
Turn Yesterday's Declined Repairs Into Tomorrow's Revenue
Every day, customers leave repair shops without approving all of the recommended work.
Sometimes they needed time to think.
Sometimes money was tight.
And sometimes they simply forgot.
Those declined repairs can represent thousands of dollars in potential future revenue.
ShopFlowIQ helps your shop follow up automatically.
How It Works
- 1.
Add the Declined Repair
Your team enters the customer's declined repair, recommended service, estimated value, and contact information into ShopFlowIQ.
- 2.
ShopFlowIQ Follows Up
After the appropriate follow-up period, ShopFlowIQ automatically sends the customer a text message on behalf of your shop.
- 3.
The Customer Responds
Customers can respond using simple reply options to let your shop know whether they are ready to schedule, have questions, need more time, or are no longer interested.
- 4.
Your Team Takes Over
When a customer is ready, your shop can communicate with them, schedule the repair, and confirm the appointment.
- 5.
Track Recovered Revenue
Once the repair is completed, enter the final invoice amount so ShopFlowIQ can show how much revenue your shop recovered.
See What Your Follow-Up Is Worth
Your ShopFlowIQ dashboard helps you track:
Estimated Declined Revenue
See the total value of repair work customers originally declined.
Recovered Revenue
Track the actual revenue brought back into the shop.
Active Follow-Ups
See which customers are currently in the follow-up process.
Appointments Recovered
Track customers who returned because of your follow-up efforts.
Completed Repairs
See the results generated from previously declined services.
Built to Work Alongside Your Current Software
ShopFlowIQ is not designed to force you to replace the systems your shop already uses.
Already have a shop management system?
Keep it.
Already have invoicing software?
Keep it.
ShopFlowIQ fills specific operational gaps — declined repair follow-up, recovery tracking, and focused tools around real shop problems — without replacing your management stack.
Use the tools you need. Keep the software you already have. Pay for nothing you don't.
Simple Customer Communication
Customers receive straightforward text messages from your shop instead of
complicated links, apps, or portals.
ShopFlowIQ's Declined Repair Recovery system is built around simple communication
that makes it easy for customers to respond and easy for your team to know what
happens next.
Customers can indicate that they:
1 — Want to schedule the repair
2 — Have a question about the repair
3 — Need more time
4 — Are no longer interested
Your shop remains in control of the conversation.
Your Shop. Your Customers. Your Relationship.
ShopFlowIQ supports your follow-up process while keeping ownership of the customer relationship with your shop.
Your shop determines:
- When repairs are entered
- Which customers may be contacted
- The information associated with the repair
- How customer responses are handled
- When follow-up should stop
- Which team members can take action
Customers hear from your business. Your team stays in control of every response.
Designed around real shop feedback
ShopFlowIQ wasn't created by guessing what automotive shops need. Before development began, independent repair shops were asked directly about the operational problems they wanted technology to help solve. That feedback is helping determine what ShopFlowIQ builds. Our philosophy is simple:
Listen first. Build second.
Built from inside the automotive industry
ShopFlowIQ was created as part of ShopFlowIQ by a mechanic with nearly a decade of hands-on experience in the diesel/automotive field. After years of seeing how independent shops operate, how busy service teams become, and how easily revenue opportunities can fall through the cracks, ShopFlowIQ was created with one goal:
Build practical, affordable software for the people actually running the shops.
Start With Declined Repair Recovery
Try ShopFlowIQ Before You Commit
Eligible shops can try the Declined Repair Recovery system with a 60-day free trial. Because business texting requires carrier registration, your trial does not begin while your shop is waiting for messaging approval. Your 60-day trial begins when your ShopFlowIQ texting number is approved and Ready to Send. No wasting your trial waiting on carrier registration.
Fairer Software Pricing
Independent shops shouldn't have to spend hundreds of dollars every month just to solve one operational problem. ShopFlowIQ is being built around affordable individual tools so shops can choose what provides value to their business.
- No unnecessary software bundle.
- No paying for features you don't use.
- No percentage of the revenue you recover.
Your shop keeps the revenue generated from the work you perform.
Built for Shop Owners and Their Teams
Owner Access
Shop owners can manage their ShopFlowIQ account, employees, subscription, texting number, messaging preferences, and business settings.
Employee Access
Authorized employees can add declined repairs, manage customer responses, confirm appointments, and record completed repairs. Your team can work together without everyone needing access to billing and ownership settings.
Responsible Business Texting
Customer trust matters.
ShopFlowIQ requires shops to confirm that customers have agreed to receive applicable text communications. The platform is built for legitimate follow-up with your customers — not spam, purchased lists, or unauthorized messaging.
U.S. wireless carriers require businesses using application-based text messaging to complete messaging registration. ShopFlowIQ helps with setup, but approval depends on applicable providers and carriers.
Your shop remains in control of the conversation. Customers receive straightforward texts from your business, and your team decides how each response is handled.
What's Coming Next
Declined Repair Recovery is only the beginning. ShopFlowIQ's roadmap is focused on affordable standalone tools around real problems independent repair shops encounter.
Missed Call Lead Recovery
Help shops reconnect with potential customers when the phone rings and nobody is available to answer.
Customer Repair Status Updates
Keep customers informed as their vehicle moves through the repair process without requiring your team to make repetitive update calls.
Parts, Cores & Warranty Tracking
Help shops keep better track of ordered parts, returnable cores, warranty-related items, and other important follow-up responsibilities.
Different problems. Focused tools. Fair pricing.
Future products and features are subject to development and availability.
