Brian's Automotive & Performance

We run our shop on Shopmonkey. Here's what we've plugged into it.

Brian's Automotive & Performance runs on Shopmonkey every day — 20+ years of shop, one system at the counter. This is our honest map of what connects to it: the tools Shopmonkey lists, and the three we built ourselves when the list didn't have what we needed.

What connects to Shopmonkey

The integrations Shopmonkey documents, as of July 2026 — check their site for the current list.

•
QuickBooks Online - Accounting sync. The one their customers mention most, and the one your bookkeeper will ask about.
•
PartsTech - Parts lookup and ordering from your suppliers, inside the estimate.
•
Nextpart - Another parts-ordering path, if your suppliers live there.
•
RepairLink - OEM parts ordering from the dealer networks.
•
CARFAX - Vehicle history on the car in your bay.

The honest fine print on the ordering tools: they put the order into the system — when your supplier is on the network. They don't touch the parts you order over the phone, from the yards, or from vendors that aren't integrated, and at our counter that's a lot of them. And none of them handle the day the parts show up with a sheet of paper that still has to be keyed in. That paper is why we built the first tool below.

The three gaps we hit — and built

Every one of these started as a problem at our own counter, not a product idea.

Ordering a part and receiving a part are different jobs. The ordering integrations handle the first one, for the suppliers they cover. But the invoice that arrives with the parts still got hand-typed into Shopmonkey — and everything ordered by phone or from the yards never touched an integration at all. About fifteen hours a month of typing, counted. So we built Brian's Paper Eliminator: scan the invoice and parts land on the right repair order, marked arrived, inventory updated. Anything it's unsure about waits for a person — it never guesses. From $100 a month.

Review requests kept not going out — busy counter, good intentions. So we built Brian's Reviews Go-Getter, and it brought our shop 100+ five-star reviews in six months. Shopmonkey's own marketing add-on can send review requests too. Here's what ours is built around: when something wasn't right, the customer gets an easy private way to tell you first — so you fix the problem instead of reading about it on Google. $100 flat, 14 days free — try it and keep whichever works for you.

And follow-up calls kept slipping — declined work, customers we hadn't seen in a while. So we built Brian's Customer Keeper: one prioritized call sheet every morning for a real person to work through. About $5,000 a month in booked repeat work at our own shop. $100 a month.

Straight answers

The questions we'd ask before connecting anything to our shop system.

Are you affiliated with Shopmonkey?

No. We're an independent shop that runs on it, and we build our tools against their platform. This page is our honest read as a customer.

Will your tools mess with my data?

Paper Eliminator writes exactly what you'd have typed — parts on repair orders, inventory counts. Anything it's unsure about waits for a quick look. The others mostly read.

What about Tekmetric or Mitchell?

Not yet — Shopmonkey today. We're looking for a Tekmetric shop to build that version with. If that's you, call us.

The tools we built

Each one started as a gap on our own shop floor. When it earned its keep, we shared it.
