Auto repair shop management template
An auto repair shop management app for independent service desks. Create vehicle work orders, assign a technician, and track repair progress, estimates, and promised times.
What is this workshop operations template?
Pitlane opens with a workshop board that groups vehicles into checked-in, diagnosis, repair and ready stages, followed by a focused pickup panel. Staff can create a service order for an existing vehicle and update the technician, repair status, manual USD estimate, promised-time label and notes. The app uses ToolJet Database with fictional records.

What does the template cover?
A workshop overview
A workshop-focused dashboard brings the current vehicle work together in a cobalt-blue identity with a compact navigation rail.
Work orders connected to vehicles
Create an order against an existing vehicle, with the required service and working details. The vehicle reference keeps each repair attached to the right record.
Technician and status updates
Keep a named technician and a status of Booked, Diagnosing, Repairing, Ready, or Collected on each work order. Status changes are recorded manually by staff.
Estimates and handover notes
Save a manual USD estimate, a promised-time label, and the latest note. These fields support handovers; they do not create an invoice or a calendar appointment.
ToolJet Database with sample data
The pilot uses 2 tables with fictional records. No external database is needed to explore the source app.
| Table | Sample data | What it stores |
|---|---|---|
| Vehicles | 6 sample vehicles | Vehicle reference, display name, and service context. |
| Work orders | 9 sample work orders | Vehicle, required service, technician, repair status, estimated USD amount, promised-time label, and notes. |
The overview shows the first two orders in Booked, Diagnosing, and Repairing, plus the first Ready vehicle; use Work orders for the full bounded list. Vehicle intake, parts inventory, invoices, payments, diagnostic integrations, and customer notifications are not included. Estimates are manually entered USD amounts, not approved quotes. Promised times are labels rather than a live calendar. The English desktop pilot reads up to 1,000 rows per table and blocks writes above that limit. Export, clean installation, and access policies remain unverified.
Make it yours with AI.
This design is a starting point. Describe the look you want, add your logo and brand colors, or ask for new features in a prompt. Use the starter prompt to build your own version in the ToolJet AI builder, or use a suggested prompt to modify an app you already have. Review and test the result.
Suggested prompts describe changes you can request. Additional features and translations still need to be built and tested.

Template FAQs
What does this auto repair shop template include?
Pitlane includes a workshop overview and a work-order page. Staff can create orders for existing vehicles and update technician, repair status, estimate, promised time, and notes.
Can I add a new vehicle from the app?
The pilot creates orders for vehicles already in the sample database. A vehicle intake form is not included yet.
Does it create invoices or take payments?
No. Estimates are manual USD values for service-desk coordination. Invoicing, approved quotes, payments, and parts inventory need additional implementation.
Are promised times connected to a calendar?
No. Promised times are staff-entered labels. The app does not reserve appointments or detect scheduling conflicts.
Can I change the design and add my garage branding with AI?
Yes. Use the prompt to request your logo, colors, layout, service terminology, or additional features. Review and test the resulting workflow.
Does it require a separate database?
The pilot uses ToolJet Database with fictional vehicles and work orders. External shop systems or diagnostic integrations are not required or included.
Can I download it or use it in another language?
Deploy and download remain unavailable pending package validation. The built app is in English; French and other language versions can be requested with AI but still need implementation and testing.
