OpenHood connects independent car repair workshops with their regular customers. Appointments, status updates, approvals and invoices — all documented, all in one app. No more phone tag, no more forgotten callbacks.
Appointments, chat, approvals and invoices from a single screen. No card terminal, no spreadsheets, no notepad by the phone.
Try free for 14 days →Book appointments at your workshop, follow the status, approve extra work with one tap. Digital service book included.
Explore the app →Three realities every independent workshop knows — and they get more expensive every season.
The mechanic finds a problem and rings the customer. Voicemail. The customer rings back, the mechanic is under a car. The car sits. The customer waits. Both end up annoyed.
Is my car ready? What are they doing right now? Why does it suddenly cost more? Without status information, distrust grows — even with loyal regulars.
Job sheet, quote by email, printed invoice, payment at the terminal. Four systems for one job — and the service history sits in a binder in the basement.
From the first appointment to the paid invoice — all in the app, all documented. For the workshop and the customer alike.
Straight from the app, with vehicle details and a description. The workshop sees the appointment in its calendar.
Questions, photos of the damage, short voice notes. In writing. Traceable. No more voicemail ping-pong.
“Brake pads badly worn, +€180 — approve?” The customer taps yes or no. Version history included.
Stripe payment in EUR or CHF. Digital invoice, service history updated. No card terminal needed.
Not a price comparison portal. Not a bargain marketplace. OpenHood is a loyalty and communication tool for your regulars.
Received → Diagnosis → Repair → Ready. The customer always knows where things stand. No calls, no SMS ping-pong.
Text, photos, voice notes. Fast for mechanics, familiar for older customers, and on the record for both sides.
Create a quote, change it and have it approved with one tap. Including sign-off on extra work mid-job.
Stripe in EUR and CHF. Saves a card terminal — and €50–150 in fees every month.
The complete vehicle history, exportable as a PDF. Lifts the resale value — a real gift to your regulars.
Roadworthiness tests (HU/AU, Pickerl, MFK) and seasonal tyre changes. Reminders go out automatically — two months ahead.
“OpenHood is not a price comparison portal. It is what happens after the customer and the workshop have chosen each other.”
