Built on AI + MOTOR — the industry’s strongest stack
Two industry-leading technologies, fully embedded in every estimate, work order, and invoice you create.
AI-Powered Estimating
Describe the symptom in plain language. Our AI reads it, identifies the likely operations, pulls the verified labor times, and builds the estimate for you to review — in seconds.
- Natural language symptom input → instant estimate draft
- AI suggests related operations you might have missed
- Flags unusual jobs that need a second look
- Works inside every estimate and work order
- Higher approval rates from confident, AI-backed quotes
MOTOR Labor Database
AutoSoftWay runs on MOTOR’s industry-leading labor database — the same data trusted by major chains — embedded directly in your workflow with zero manual lookups.
- Millions of verified labor times for every make & model
- Continuously updated with new vehicles and procedures
- OEM-grade operation descriptions for every line item
- Times drop directly into work orders — zero re-entry
- The same data the big chains use, in your shop today
From symptom to signed work order
The difference between guessing and knowing
Shops without a labor guide rely on memory, gut feel, and last week’s flat-rate book. Here’s what changes the moment you switch.
Estimating by guesswork
- Undercharging because you forgot a step or rushed the quote
- Inconsistent pricing for the same job across two technicians
- Customers push back on quotes that “feel high”
- Approval rates drop when prices look arbitrary
- Technicians chase missing labor lines, slowing the shop down
- Disputes over “how long this should have taken”
Estimating with verified data
- Every job billed correctly — MOTOR times capture every billable hour
- Consistent pricing for every job, every tech, every day
- Customers approve faster because quotes are AI-built and data-backed
- Higher approval rates and stronger client trust
- Labor times drop straight into work orders — zero re-entry
- Smarter scheduling because every job has a realistic time budget
