Found It OS · The Tekmetric Alternative
The AI-Powered Tekmetric Alternative You Own.
Tekmetric is a good system. But you rent it forever, and your shop's history lives in their cloud. We build the AI-powered shop system you own. We already moved a real shop off a Tekmetric-class system, about ten years of records. On the way in, the AI found about $270K in forgotten, unbilled work. One system for your whole shop. Work orders, parts board, customer book, invoicing, and an AI service desk. You own it, code and data. Nothing switches until the new system runs beside your old one and matches it. The price is on this page.

Yours, Code & Data
Look Inside a Real Shop’s System
A 35-second tour of Found It OS running a live European auto shop. The money on the board, an AI that answers from the shop's records, and the secretary that texts back after hours. Customer names are placeholders.
What Makes It the AI-Powered Alternative?
It does every job a Tekmetric-class system does. Write the work order, track the parts, ring the invoice, keep the customer book. Then it adds two things a rented system cannot. First, the AI reads YOUR data, so you can ask about any record in plain English. Second, you own the software and the data. We map how your shop runs, build around your process, and migrate your old records in. Day one starts with your real history, not an empty screen. No per-seat rent. If you ever leave, every record leaves with you.
What a Shop OS Includes
Work Orders
Every job on one screen, from write-up to paid. Who brought the car in, what was found, what was approved, what was declined.
The Parts & Waiting Board
One board shows what every car in the lot is waiting on. Nothing sits forgotten. Nobody has to ask around the shop.
Your Customer Book
Every customer, every vehicle, every visit. One database you own, instead of an old system and memory.
Invoicing That Matches the Work
Invoices come straight off the work order. What got done is what gets billed. Nothing finished leaves unbilled.
An AI Service Desk
Ask your shop questions in plain English. Who declined brakes last quarter. Which regulars went quiet. What is sitting unbilled. It answers from your own records, because it read every one during migration.
You Own It
The code, the data, the whole system is yours. If we ever part ways, it stays in your shop and keeps running.
How a Fitting Works
The Fitting
We come to your shop and map how it really runs. How a car gets written up, how parts get chased, what lives on paper. That becomes the blueprint.
The Migration
Your old records come in. Customers, vehicles, history. This is where the surprises surface, like the work your old system quietly lost track of.
Built Beside Your Old System
Your current system keeps running. The new one runs beside it on your real data until the two match. No leap of faith.
You Say Go, We Stay On
Nothing switches until the numbers prove out and you give the word. After that, backups, support you can call, and new features as the shop grows.
Who This Is For
Independent shops renting a monthly management system
Shops still writing up jobs on paper tickets
European and specialty shops generic software never fits
Owners whose history sits in an old system they distrust
Shops burned by a data-hostage switch before
Anyone who wants to ask their records a question and get an answer
What It Runs
The $270K Parking Lot
1
Louisiana Auto Shop
~10 Yrs
of Records Migrated
~$270K
Unbilled Work Surfaced
We fitted a full shop system for one Louisiana auto shop, running on about ten years of migrated records. During that migration, the system found about $270,000 in forgotten, unbilled work. The shop called it the parking lot. It was there the whole time. The old software just never showed it. A good migration can pay for itself before the new system goes live. What is sleeping in your old system?
Why Shop Software Usually Goes Wrong
Renting forever, leaving with nothing
Shops renting Tekmetric-class systems pay every month and never own a thing. Leave, and years of work orders and customer history stay behind.
Generic software, forced workarounds
Off-the-shelf software is built for every shop, so it fits no shop. The parts chase ends up on a whiteboard and half the history stays in someone's head.
The abandoned back catalog
When shops switch systems, the old records usually get left behind. Whatever was unbilled or forgotten in there is gone for good.
Rip-and-replace weekends
Most switches mean a scary cutover and crossed fingers. We never rip anything out. The new system proves itself beside the old one first.
What It Costs
The whole price, printed right here: $3,000 a month, plus a one-time $2,000 for migration and setup. The migration brings your old records in. No per-writer fees, no add-ons. Month-to-month, and the system stays yours. One job: Simplify your life. Make your business more profitable. The monthly covers backups, support, and new features. The system itself is already your asset.

Auto Repair Shop Software FAQ
Can you migrate my shop off Tekmetric?
Yes. That is the core of what we do. We already moved a real shop off a Tekmetric-class system, about ten years of customers, vehicles, and work orders. The new system runs beside the old one until the two match. Nothing switches until you give the word.
Is Found It OS a Tekmetric alternative?
Yes. It covers the same jobs. Work orders, parts tracking, customer history, invoicing. Two differences: it is fitted to how your shop runs, and you own it. The code and the data are yours, not rented.
What happens to the years of records in my current system?
They get migrated in, so day one starts with your real history, not an empty screen. One Louisiana shop brought about ten years of records over. Everything worth keeping comes with you.
What does auto repair shop software cost?
$3,000 a month, plus a one-time $2,000 for migration and setup. That is the whole number. No per-writer fees, no surprise add-ons.
Will my shop go down during the switch?
No. Your current system keeps running while the new one runs beside it. Nothing switches until the numbers match and you give the word.
Who owns the system and the data?
You do. The code, the customer book, every work order. If we ever part ways, it stays in your shop and keeps running.
Do I need a computer person on staff?
No. The people already behind your counter can run it. We handle backups and support. The fastest way to find anything is to ask the AI in plain English.
