Found It OS · The Tekmetric Alternative
The AI-Powered Tekmetric Alternative.
Tekmetric is a good system. But it was built for every shop, not yours. 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. Your records stay yours. Nothing switches until the new system runs beside your old one and matches it.

What Makes It the AI-Powered Alternative?
It does every job a Tekmetric-class system does, then adds two things. First, the AI reads YOUR data, so you can ask about any record in plain English. Second, it is fitted to how your shop runs. No per-seat fees. If you ever leave, every record leaves with you.
What a Shop OS Includes
The Build Sheet
Every install · no add-on menu
Work Orders
Every job on one screen, from write-up to paid.
The Parts & Waiting Board
One board shows what every car in the lot is waiting on. Nothing sits forgotten.
Your Customer Book
Every customer, every vehicle, every visit, in one database.
Invoicing That Matches the Work
Invoices come straight off the work order. What got done is what gets billed.
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.
Your Records Stay Yours
Every record exports anytime, at cancel too. Nothing is held hostage.
How a Fitting Works
The Fitting
We come to your shop and map how it really runs. That becomes the blueprint.
The Migration
Your old records come in. This is where the surprises surface.
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, new features.
Who This Is For
Independent shops on a generic 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
What It Runs
The $270K Parking Lot
1
Louisiana Auto Shop
~10 Yrs
of Records Migrated
~$270K
Unbilled Work Surfaced
One Louisiana auto shop, 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.
Why Shop Software Usually Goes Wrong
Records held when you leave
Leave a Tekmetric-class system and you might get an export of your records. Ours export anytime, at cancel too.
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.
What It Costs
Our whole bill, printed right here. From $800 a month, owned, setup included. No per-writer fees. Major additions are scoped in writing before work begins. Month to month, cancel with 30 days notice. The code and the data are yours. One job: Simplify your life. Make your business more profitable. The monthly covers backups, support, and new features.
Why Shops Choose Found It OS

Auto Repair Shop Software FAQ
Can you migrate my shop off Tekmetric?
Yes. 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 the AI answers from your own records.
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.
What does auto repair shop software cost?
From $800 a month, owned, setup included. That is the whole of our bill. Third-party services bill on their own: phone lines, card processing, AI usage. They run on your accounts, in your name, listed in plain terms before you sign. No per-writer fees, no surprise add-ons.
