Auto repair shop software for Ontario independents

Evaluate Ontario shop software with a real repair: the estimate, authorization, completed work, invoice and payment. Strut connects the operational record; your team must verify the provincial requirements and setup.

In practice

Evaluate the provincial document workflow

Ontario’s repair-business guidance distinguishes estimates from final invoices and describes repair authorization and invoice requirements. Ask the vendor to show both documents with your own sample job.

Evaluate the provincial document workflow

Ontario’s repair-business guidance distinguishes estimates from final invoices and describes repair authorization and invoice requirements. Ask the vendor to show both documents with your own sample job.

  • Are estimates and invoices clearly labelled?
  • Where can staff find approval for changed work?
  • Does the final document include the information your shop is required to provide?

Workflow and fit

Inspect what Strut demonstrates

Strut connects customer and vehicle records, repair work, invoice lines and payment status. The public invoice editor demonstrates itemized work and a total preview; it does not certify that your configuration meets every provincial requirement.

  • Bring a representative invoice to the demo.
  • Compare it with current requirements for your business.
  • Resolve configuration gaps before going live.

Workflow and fit

Plan your shop’s setup

Agree on the customer and vehicle import, shop hours, bay capacity and staff access before launch. Test a changed repair scope and an unpaid invoice alongside a straightforward job.

  • Confirm the current $49 CAD/month launch offer.
  • Scope historical data and open work explicitly.
  • Identify who will validate the first live day.
