A mechanic work order app is a secure platform where customers and auto shop staff can log in to manage repair jobs, track work order statuses, and view or upload important documents related to vehicle servicing. It brings all job communication and updates into one place, making it easier to stay organized and ensuring a smoother experience for both mechanics and customers.
Softr makes it simple to create a mechanic work order app tailored to your auto shop’s workflow. You can connect your existing databases—like Airtable or Notion—to manage work orders, customer details, parts inventory, and job updates, all in one centralized space.
You don’t need to code anything. You can start from a template or build your app from scratch, customize layouts, set permissions for mechanics and customers, and brand the app to match your shop. It’s quick to launch, easy to update, and flexible enough to grow as your shop’s needs evolve.
You can add a variety of features to your mechanic work order app, depending on your shop’s workflow. Some common features include:
\- User logins – so each customer and mechanic can access their own jobs and information
\- Custom dashboards – to display open jobs, repair progress, invoices, or scheduled appointments
\- Forms – for new work order requests, feedback, or parts ordering
\- File sharing – for uploading and downloading repair reports, photos, or invoices
\- Search and filters – to quickly find specific work orders or parts
\- Tables, lists, and detail views – to organize service records, jobs, or time logs
\- Status updates and comments – to keep all job communication in one place
\- Charts – to track repair trends, turnaround times, or shop performance
\- Calendar view – for upcoming appointments, deadlines, or service reminders
\- Permissions and roles – so mechanics, front desk staff, and customers only see what’s relevant to them
All these features can be built using Softr’s drag-and-drop blocks, with no coding required. If your process changes, it’s easy to update the app as needed.
No coding is required. You can create your entire mechanic work order app using Softr’s visual editor. Everything from layout to user roles and permissions can be customized without any coding experience needed.
Yes. You can manage multiple customers or teams in a single mechanic work order app. Each user only sees the work orders and details assigned to them, based on their login and role. This is especially useful for shops that handle repairs for multiple customers or manage several technician teams at once.
Softr supports a wide variety of data sources for your mechanic work order app. You can connect Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, Clickup, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. You can also bring in data through the REST API.
You’re not limited to just one. You can integrate multiple data sources into the same work order app and display them together—so, for example, your shop can pull in vehicle records from Airtable while tracking parts inventory from Google Sheets. Most sources support real-time, two-way sync, so updates in your app or connected data source stay up to date automatically.
Yes, Softr gives you full control over how users interact with your mechanic work order app. You can tailor the layout, navigation, and content to fit your shop’s processes and branding. Each page or block can be shown or hidden based on who’s logged in, so your customers and technicians see only the information relevant to their role.
You can also set up different user roles, such as customer, technician, or shop manager—and define exactly what each can view or update. For example, customers can access only their own repair status, while internal staff can manage all work orders. You can even create personalized dashboards by filtering data for each logged-in user.
This flexibility is especially helpful when managing multiple jobs, teams, or customers, ensuring a secure and streamlined experience for everyone.
Yes, you can. You don’t need to import your data from another system to start using Softr for your mechanic work order app. If you’re starting from scratch, you can use Softr Databases, which is built into the platform and works seamlessly with your app.
If you already have customer or vehicle data in platforms like Airtable, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or SQL, you can connect those as well. You can even use the REST API connector to bring in data from other sources. Either way, you have full control over how work orders and related information are managed and displayed.
Yes, you can fully white-label your mechanic work order app in Softr. You can use your own logo, shop colors, fonts, and custom domain to make the app feel like a seamless part of your auto repair business. You can also remove all Softr branding, so your customers and staff only see your company’s identity throughout the experience.
Yes, you can. Softr gives you plenty of flexibility to control both the design and layout of your mechanic work order app. You can adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and the structure of each page to match your shop’s branding. You decide how each page is laid out, choose which blocks go where, and set what different users (like staff or customers) see when they log in.
To display your work order data, you can add different types of blocks depending on what you need:
\- Table blocks – to show structured data like active work orders, estimates, or parts inventories
\- List or Card blocks – to highlight things like vehicle details, customer profiles, or upcoming appointments
\- Detail View – to show one record at a time, such as a specific work order or invoice
\- Forms – to collect new work orders or service requests
\- Charts – to show shop performance or service trends
\- Calendar blocks – to display scheduled repairs or deadlines
If you need to make changes later, it’s simple to update everything right in the visual builder.
Softr is built with security in mind. All work order data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest, and your mechanic work order app is hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. You have full control over who can see and do what within your app. Set up role-based permissions for your staff and customers, manage users directly within your data source, set visibility rules, and apply global restrictions to keep sensitive information like customer details and invoices secure.
For apps connected to external data sources such as Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr doesn’t store your shop data—it just displays it in real time based on your access settings. You’re always in control of your data and who can view or edit it.
Softr also follows industry best practices for authentication, access control, and platform monitoring to help keep your information safe.
You can get started for free. Softr’s Free plan lets you publish one mechanic work order app with up to 10 app users and 2 user groups, with support for all standard data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more.

You can sync with tools like Stripe for payments, send notifications, and automate tasks using Zapier, Make, and N8N. Softr also supports REST API and webhooks for more advanced shop automations.
Whether you need to send work order updates to another system, trigger automations based on service status, or display information from other tools, you can build it into your mechanic work order app—no coding required.
