Auto Body Shop Management Software — Organize Multi-Day Repairs from Intake to Delivery
Keep collision repairs organized with stage tracking, photo documentation, and clear parts decisions. Garixo helps body shops stay on schedule, manage supplements, and deliver repairs faster.
Still managing collision repairs on paper?
Auto body repairs involve many steps and moving parts. When jobs and parts are tracked separately, delays and mistakes increase.
- Teardown, body work, paint, and reassembly fall out of sync without a clear stage tracker.
- OEM vs. aftermarket parts decisions get lost across insurance jobs.
- Supplemental parts and labor updates are hard to track mid-repair.
- Photo documentation is scattered, slowing approvals and delivery.
A clear auto body workflow in one place
Garixo connects repair work orders, parts, and invoices in one simple workflow so your team can stay focused on the repair.
Start in minutesWhy Collision Repairs Are Hard to Manage Without the Right System
Auto body repair is different from every other shop type. Jobs run for days, not hours. Parts have lead times. Customers call every day for updates. Margin lives or dies on whether every part, every labor hour, and every supplement gets captured.
The US car body shop industry revenue reached $73.9 billion in 2025 (IBISWorld), which means small process leaks add up fast.
A customer’s car has been in your shop for 5 days.
They call for a status update. You stop a paint job, dig through paper ROs, and guess. They leave a 3-star review that night.
Your parts for a bumper repair are 3 days late.
The tech moves to another job. By day 5 no one remembers which car was waiting, and the customer gets a surprise delay call.
A supplement request takes 30 extra minutes per job.
Your original estimate is on a sticky note. The adjuster wants itemized documentation. You piece it together from memory and texts every time.
Your invoice at delivery is wrong.
Extra parts were ordered mid-repair but never added to the ticket. A $280 door molding disappears from billing.
Enterprise shop software costs too much.
CCC ONE, Mitchell Connect, and Audatex are built for large MSO chains at $200–$400+/mo. A 2-bay independent body shop does not need — or want — that complexity.
One Workflow for Every Stage of a Collision Repair
Garixo gives your team one place to run every active repair job from intake to delivery — without the overhead of enterprise software. Create the job in 60 seconds, track parts ordered and parts arrived, move through each repair stage, attach intake notes, and close with a clean invoice. Every person on your team sees the same current status. No more morning briefings to align on what is done and what is waiting.
What your team sees at a glance
- Live stage status for every active vehicle.
- Parts ordered vs. parts arrived tracking.
- Photo notes tied to each repair stage.
- One clean invoice at delivery.
Insurance-ready documentation without the chaos
Keep claim-related details together so approvals and supplements do not slow down delivery. Every stage, photo, and part decision lives inside the repair order for clean documentation.
- All photos and notes tied to the exact repair stage.
- Supplements recorded with context and timestamps.
- Parts decisions documented for adjuster clarity.
Photo & Note Timeline
Store documentation by repair stage so everyone sees the same evidence.
Supplement Tracking
Add parts and labor updates mid-repair without losing the original estimate.
OEM vs. Aftermarket
Track part decisions clearly for insurers and customers.
Features Built for Multi-Day Collision Repair Workflow
Designed for independent body shops managing 5–25 active repairs at a time — not for large MSO chains with enterprise IT budgets.
Multi-Stage Repair Job Tracking
Track every collision job through clear stages: Intake → Parts Ordered → Body Work → Paint → Assembly → QC → Ready for Delivery.
Everyone sees the current stage, and bottlenecks surface before they cause delays.
Intake Notes and Damage Documentation
Capture damage details, customer instructions, and pre-existing conditions at check-in.
Every job starts with a complete record that follows the car through the shop.
Parts Lead Time Tracking
Log ordered parts, supplier, expected arrival date, and link them to the repair stage that needs them.
Avoid scheduling tech time on jobs that cannot move forward yet.
Repair Job Cost Tracking
Capture every part, material, and labor hour as work progresses, not after the fact.
Close every repair with accurate cost-to-revenue visibility before delivery.
Active Repair Job Dashboard
See all active jobs, their current stage, days in shop, and tech assignment in one view.
Know where every car stands without a morning briefing.
Clean Delivery Invoices
Generate an itemized invoice the moment a job hits 'Ready for Delivery.'
Present a professional invoice at pickup without last-minute scrambling.
Competitive Positioning
Not CCC ONE. Not Mitchell. Just Simple Collision Workflow at $79/mo.
Enterprise collision software was built for large multi-shop operators. CCC ONE starts at $300+/month. Mitchell Connect requires annual contracts and onboarding teams. If you run an independent body shop with 1–4 bays, you do not need a platform designed for 50-location MSO chains.
Garixo gives you the workflow that matters — job tracking, parts management, and clean invoicing — without the enterprise price tag, the six-month setup, or the training manual nobody reads.
Independent. Affordable. Ready in 30 minutes.
Before and After Garixo

|---|---|
| Customer calls daily for status — you stop work to answer and give a vague update. | Accurate status available instantly — real answers in under 10 seconds. |
| Parts delays discovered only when a tech is already scheduled for that job. | Parts lead time tracked per job — schedule tech time after parts are confirmed. |
| Supplement requests pieced together from sticky notes and memory. | Complete documentation captured at every stage for clean supplement support. |
| Additional parts and labor missed on the invoice at delivery. | Every part and labor hour logged as work progresses — zero missed line items. |

What Running a Busy Body Shop Looks Like With Garixo
A clear example of how a multi-day collision repair moves through intake, parts, and delivery when your team shares one workflow.
Monday 8:00am
A Toyota Camry comes in for front-end collision repair. You create the work order in Garixo in 60 seconds. You attach intake notes: cracked bumper cover, bent hood, right headlight needs replacement. You log three parts on order from the dealer — expected Thursday.
Monday 8:05am
The customer asks when her car will be ready. You tell her: parts arrive Thursday, body work Friday, paint Monday, delivery Tuesday. She gets a real answer and stops calling every day.
Thursday 2:00pm
Parts arrive. You update the work order in Garixo: parts received. The tech gets the job assigned. Bay 1 is now scheduled for Friday morning. No one had to ask who was doing it or when.
Friday
Body work is done. The stage moves to Paint. You add two more line items discovered during teardown: a cracked inner bracket and additional clips. They are captured in the work order immediately. Nothing is forgotten.
Tuesday
The car is ready. You open the work order. The invoice builds itself from every part and labor entry made throughout the job. You review it in 2 minutes. The customer picks up, pays, done — no surprises or missing charges.

FAQ
Common questions from auto body shop owners.
What is auto body shop management software?
Auto body shop management software is a digital system that helps collision repair shops create and track repair jobs through each stage, manage parts ordering, document damage at intake, and generate accurate invoices at delivery — all without paper ROs or spreadsheets.
Can Garixo track a repair job through multiple stages like body, paint, and assembly?
Yes. You can track every job through custom repair stages from intake to delivery. Each stage is visible to the whole team so everyone knows where every car stands without a morning briefing.
Can I attach damage notes and intake details to a work order?
Yes. You can add detailed notes, damage descriptions, and customer instructions directly to the work order at check-in. These notes follow the job through every stage and appear on the final invoice.
How does Garixo handle parts that have a lead time of 3–7 days?
You can log ordered parts, expected arrival dates, and the job they belong to directly in the work order. This lets you schedule tech time only after parts are confirmed as received — so you stop assigning bays to jobs that cannot move yet.
How does Garixo compare to CCC ONE or Mitchell Connect for a small body shop?
CCC ONE and Mitchell Connect are enterprise platforms built for large multi-shop operators at $200–400+/month. Garixo is designed for independent body shops with 1–4 bays that need clean job tracking and fast invoicing without a six-month implementation process. At $79/month, the difference in price alone covers the software cost many times over.
Does Garixo support insurance documentation or supplement requests?
Garixo does not have built-in insurance claim integration, but it gives you a complete, itemized job record — parts, labor, notes, and stage history — that you can use to support supplement requests and document repairs for insurance purposes.
Is Garixo suitable for a 2-bay independent body shop?
Yes. Garixo is built for exactly this — small independent shops with lean teams that need a clear workflow without the cost or complexity of enterprise software.
How quickly can a body shop get started with Garixo?
Most independent shops are creating their first repair work orders within 30 minutes of signing up. The 14-day free trial requires no credit card and no setup call.
