Your veteran advisor catches what's due on every car. Your new hire just does what's asked. RO Engine closes that gap — automatically, on every repair order, for every advisor on your team.
No sales team, no demo script. You'd be talking to the guy who runs the shop it was built in.
A vehicle comes in for a routine oil change. Here's what happens depending on who writes it up.
missed on a single vehicle. Not because your new advisor isn't trying — because nobody handed him twelve years of pattern recognition on his first day. RO Engine does, on every RO.
Illustrative example using typical Northwest Arkansas labor and parts pricing, not a guaranteed result.
The moment a vehicle is written up, RO Engine cross-references the manufacturer maintenance schedule, the vehicle's own history, and known failure patterns for that model.
Every vehicle gets veteran-level recommendations. Consistent, every time, on every car.
Included, not a $99 add-on — and it's wired into the repair order, not bolted on beside it.
Send the estimate, they approve it from the couch. No phone tag, and the answer is in writing.
Order against the job, receive against the PO, and know what a ticket actually cost you.

The first 10 beta shops pay $99/month for as long as they stay — not $99 for a year, $99 permanently. In exchange you tell me what's broken and what's missing. I'm running this in my own shop every day, so I'll be fixing it either way.
Those are our numbers, not an industry average. AutoHouse Automotive, Northwest Arkansas — six bays, three techs, and one service advisor who tells me immediately when something is annoying.
RO Engine wasn't built by a software company that read about the auto repair industry. It was built by a working shop owner who ran his own custom management system for over a decade before building this one — and who still has to explain a $1,900 estimate to somebody every week.
