How a real shop day actually works.

No training manual. No onboarding call. If you've ever written a work order on a napkin, you already know how to use this.

1. Create. Assign. Go. Intake the vehicle, assign your tech, log the work. Takes 60 seconds. Then get back to the shop floor where you belong.
2. Track it as it moves. Parts ordered, parts installed, hours logged. Tracked in real time as the job progresses. You always know where every build stands without asking anyone.
3. Invoice. Collect. Done. Invoice generates straight from the job. Parts, labor, and taxes already populated. Email it or export PDF in seconds. No math. No memory required.

"At the time of sending an estimate prior to doing the work, I can very easily add my materials and labor and produce a very professional estimate at the click of a button — or change it on the fly, which is very helpful as there's many ways to build or repair an issue on a vehicle."

Your shop is running you. Not the other way around.

You opened a shop to build cars. Not to chase invoices, babysit spreadsheets, and answer "where's my car?" texts at midnight.

• Paper work orders. Lose one and you're reconstructing it from memory six weeks later when the customer calls.
• No real idea what a job made. Parts went out, labor went in, and the margin is a guess. The guess is usually low.
• Chasing unpaid invoices from memory, with no real list of who's behind or how far.
• Third Gear Shop keeps your builds tracked, your money visible, and your customers off your back. The shop runs. You stay on the floor.

Built for the work, not the paperwork.

Open a job, add parts, track time, send an invoice. No app-switching, no filing cabinets, no lost work orders.

Job Board

Every build in the shop on one board. Intake, in progress, waiting on parts, ready for pickup. Know what's moving and what's stuck without walking the floor.

Parts & Inventory

Track parts per job. Mark installed or billable. Low stock alerts so you're never mid-build with a supplier who's three days out.

Time Tracking

Log technician hours by job. See labor cost vs revenue on every build. Know what each job actually cost. Not what you thought it cost.

Technician Management

Assign jobs to your techs. See who's on what, how long it's taking, and where the bottleneck is. Real-time, without a meeting.

Fast Invoicing

Invoice generates straight from the job. Parts, labor, and taxes auto-populate. Email or export PDF in seconds.

Customer CRM

Full customer history. Every build, every vehicle, every invoice. Repeat customers get a one-click lookup, so you know the car before they finish parking.

Shop Calendar

Your whole week in one view. Jobs, deadlines, delivery dates. Kills the whiteboard.

Expense Tracking

Log shop expenses by category: rent, tools, insurance, supplies. Track what recurs. See what you spend alongside what you earn.

Customer Portal

Share a link. Customers check their own build status, milestones, and ETA. Stops the 11pm texts.

See what your shop is actually making.

Shop Pro turns your job data into answers. No spreadsheets. No guessing.

• Revenue by technician — Know who's generating and who needs support. Make staffing decisions based on numbers, not gut.
• Margin per job — Profit after parts and labor on every single build. Know which jobs to chase and which to reprice.
• Parts cost trends — Spot supplier price creep before it eats your margin. You'll see it coming instead of finding out at tax time.

Simple pricing. No surprises.

No per-seat fees. No setup costs. No annual contracts. Month to month. Cancel anytime.

No credit card required. 14-day free trial.

From the Shop Floor

In person I can quickly know prices and expenses of a build without the need to dig through receipts, as well as share progress remotely so my customers always know how their money is being spent on their car."
