CarPanel

CarPanel is a management software for auto body shops and mobile body repairers in France. Technicians photograph the damage, AI suggests the repair operations, and prices are calculated from the shop's own rate grid — the AI never sets a price. The quote is sent to the customer's phone and accepted online. From there, everything follows: technician and bay scheduling, parts ordering and stock, before/after photos as evidence for insurance experts, invoicing at payment, and tracking of insurer settlements. CarPanel is also a consumer app where drivers get a free photo-based repair estimate, and these requests are offered to nearby registered shops. Free account with no time limit and no credit card, plus 14 days of the Pro plan at sign-up; paid plans from €59/month. Limitations: it does not replace the estimating systems required by insurers (SIDEXA, GT Motive, Audatex) and is used alongside them; accounting is exported as FEC files, without direct sync; France only.

Carsu Technologies

Carsu is workshop management software built for independent automotive workshops across Europe — tyre shops, general repair garages, and motorcycle workshops. It replaces the fragmented mix of paper scheduling, personal WhatsApp messages, disconnected supplier websites, and manual invoicing that most independent workshops still rely on. The platform combines scheduling, customer management (CRM), a visual workboard, estimates and invoicing, vehicle history tracking, and professional customer communication into a single system. Workshop owners and service advisors manage their entire daily operation from one dashboard, accessible on desktop and mobile. Carsu's core differentiator is native WhatsApp Business and Viber Business integration. Instead of using personal messaging apps to communicate with customers — losing message history when staff change, mixing personal and business conversations, and lacking any audit trail — workshops using Carsu send appointment confirmations, service updates, and follow-up messages through professional, traceable business channels directly from the platform. No third-party add-ons or middleware required. The platform is designed for the European independent aftermarket specifically. It supports multiple languages natively (English, Italian, Spanish, Greek, Dutch, and German) with localised interfaces, not just translated text. Workshop terminology, invoicing formats, and communication norms differ significantly across European markets — Carsu accounts for these differences rather than treating Europe as a single market. Key capabilities: Scheduling and appointment management — Online booking, calendar management, and automated reminders to reduce no-shows Customer management (CRM) — Full customer and vehicle history, searchable records, and segmentation for targeted communication Workboard — Visual job tracking across bays and technicians, real-time status updates Estimates and invoicing — Job templates, estimate generation, and invoice creation with local compliance WhatsApp Business and Viber Business — Professional customer messaging integrated directly into the workflow, not bolted on as a separate tool Campaign messaging — Seasonal promotions, service reminders, and re-engagement messages sent through business channels Reporting — Workshop performance metrics, revenue tracking, and operational insights Carsu is a cloud-based SaaS platform with tiered monthly pricing. It requires no hardware installation and works on any device with a browser. Free trial available. The platform is developed by Carsu Technologies, a European software company with deep roots in the automotive aftermarket industry.

Carvikon

Carvikon is shop management software built for collision, mechanical, tire, wrap and detail shops. It replaces the paper work order board and spreadsheets with one live production board that shows every vehicle and the stage it's in, so dispatch, techs and the front desk are all looking at the same schedule from a phone, tablet or shop TV. Each shop's board arrives pre-named for its trade (for a body shop: Scheduled, Dispatch, Repair Plan, Body, Paint, Assembly, Calibrations & Sublet, Cleanup, Final Inspection), and every stage can be renamed to match how the shop already talks. One repair order is one card. When a card moves stage, Carvikon can text or email the customer automatically, send an e-signature repair authorization to sign from a phone, and log it all to that vehicle's history in a lightweight built-in CRM. Beyond the board, Carvikon includes online booking and a calendar that writes onto the board, a QR-code time clock and timesheets, in-app card payments with payouts to the shop's own bank account, automatic Google review requests, cycle-time and bottleneck reports per stage, and, on the Elite plan, an AI Front Desk that answers the shop phone, checks a vehicle's status and books real appointment slots. Carvikon is built to run alongside estimating platforms like CCC, Mitchell and Audatex rather than replace them, so shops that already pay for estimating and payments there don't pay for a second version of those tools just to get a working production board. Plans start at $39/month billed annually (Starter: the board, CRM and scheduling), with Pro and Elite adding customer texting, e-signatures, payments, time clock, reporting, QuickBooks sync and the AI Front Desk.

Chispio

Chispio is free workshop management software built for small auto repair shops of any size, with no limit on mechanics. It is available in Spanish and designed for independent mechanics and garages in Spain and Latin America who want to stop running the shop on paper, notebooks and scattered WhatsApp chats. Work orders from start to finish. Create a work order in seconds with the vehicle, customer and reason for the visit, then follow it through every status: pending quote, waiting for the customer, approved, in repair and ready for pickup. A list view and a drag-and-drop board show the whole workshop at a glance, and you can search by license plate, customer, phone or vehicle. Quotes customers approve from their phone. Send a quote with photos of the part or damage through WhatsApp. The customer opens it on their phone, sees the detail and taxes, and approves it in one tap, so no more phone calls to confirm a repair. Appointments calendar. Book jobs in a monthly, weekly or daily calendar and see at a glance which vehicles are coming in and when. Customer and vehicle history. Every customer keeps their vehicles and past repairs in one place, so when they come back you know exactly what was done and when. Google reviews. When a job is finished, ask the customer for a Google review with a ready-made message, helping your workshop get found by new customers nearby. Your team, organized. Invite each mechanic with their own login and color, assign work orders to them and filter the workshop by who is working on what. Works on any device. Use Chispio from a computer at the front desk, a tablet in the shop or your phone, with nothing to install. Free, with no catch. Chispio has no paid plans, no free trial and no feature locked behind a paywall. No credit card, no contract and no ads. Your customer data is never sold, and you can export your customers, vehicles and history to a spreadsheet at any time.
