Scheduling

Auto shop scheduling software that protects capacity

Strut connects public booking, appointment context, bay load, technician assignment, and repair orders so the schedule stays useful after the job is booked.

In practice

Capture the customer’s visit request

Strut supports public booking links with service and location context. Use a link on your website or business profile and check how the request appears to your front desk.

Capture the customer’s visit request

Strut supports public booking links with service and location context. Use a link on your website or business profile and check how the request appears to your front desk.

  • Confirm customer and vehicle details.
  • Check the intended service and location.
  • Distinguish arrival time from repair duration.

Workflow and fit

Plan against bays and available skills

Appointment scheduling connects booking to bay capacity and technician assignment. Test a full bay, a parts hold and an unavailable technician during the demo. Staff shifts describe planned coverage; they are not customer appointments or recorded working hours.

  • Check equipment suitability as well as an empty slot.
  • Leave room for uncertain durations.
  • Resolve conflicts before promising pickup.

Workflow and fit

Keep exceptions visible after booking

When diagnosis changes the scope, review the schedule and the customer expectation together. Carry customer, vehicle and service context into the repair workflow. Time is opt-in and remains separate from appointment planning.

  • Assign ownership for late arrivals and overruns.
  • Review carryover work before accepting tomorrow’s jobs.
  • Use staff scheduling for coverage and Time for attendance.
