AI Dev Team for Auto Repair Shops That Ships in 2–3 Weeks
Independent and multi-bay auto repair shops run on margin per repair order, and most of that margin gets eaten by work that never touches a wrench. Service writers retype estimates, mechanics chase parts availability across half a dozen vendor portals, and declined repairs sit in the DMS with nobody following up. Asaasin's Build Pod is a dedicated AI engineering team that embeds with your shop's stack — Mitchell 1, Shopware, Tekmetric, R.O. Writer, AutoVitals, whatever you actually use — and ships working automations in 2–3 weeks instead of the 6+ months a generic dev shop or in-house hire would take.
What we build for Auto Repair Shops
Generate estimate write-ups from VIN, complaint, and tech notes automatically
The Build Pod wires your DMS, VIN decoder, and labor guide together so a service writer's rough notes become a structured estimate with parts, labor hours, and customer-facing language. Mechanics stop losing 30+ minutes per RO to write-ups.
Unify parts availability lookups across WorldPac, NAPA, AutoZone Pro, and OE portals
One internal tool queries every vendor portal you already have logins for, returns price and ETA side-by-side, and writes the chosen part back to the RO. No more bouncing between eight tabs to source a control arm.
Re-engage declined repairs with personalized follow-up by vehicle and service
Every declined line item triggers a scheduled follow-up — text or email — referencing the specific repair, the safety implication, and a booking link. Recovered revenue from declined work becomes a tracked number instead of a gut feeling.
How a Build Pod fits
A Build Pod is a small, dedicated team of AI engineers — not a freelancer, not a 12-person agency invoice — that you subscribe to monthly. In week one we sit with your service manager and lead tech, watch real ROs move through the lane, and pick the one workflow that's costing the most floor time. Week two, working software is in front of a real service writer. Week three, it's running on live tickets and we're onto the next bottleneck.
We integrate directly with your shop management system's API or database, your vendor portals, and your customer messaging stack. Nothing gets ripped out and replaced. The pod stays embedded month after month, so when a new vendor portal lands or your DMS pushes an update, the automations get maintained instead of rotting — which is the part most shops have been burned on before.
Frequently asked questions
- How long before we see working software in the shop?
- First working automation is typically in front of a service writer or tech within 2–3 weeks of kickoff. We deliberately scope the first build small enough to ship that fast, then iterate from real lane feedback.
- Do you work with our existing shop management system, or do we have to switch?
- We integrate with what you already run — Mitchell 1, Tekmetric, Shopware, R.O. Writer, Shop-Ware, AutoVitals, and similar. The Build Pod's job is to make your current stack do more, not to sell you a replacement DMS.
- What happens to the automations if we pause the subscription?
- You keep the code and the running automations. The pod handles maintenance, vendor portal changes, and new builds while you're subscribed; if you pause, what's already shipped keeps running on infrastructure you own.
- Can you handle the vendor portals that don't have a real API?
- Yes — a meaningful share of parts portals and older DMS systems have no usable API, so we use vetted browser automation and screen-scraping techniques where needed, with monitoring so a portal redesign doesn't silently break your parts lookup.
