Real-Time Control for Mobile Auto Service Operations

Running a mobile mechanic or auto glass repair business means managing emergency breakdowns, scheduled maintenance, windshield replacements, diagnostics, and insurance jobs — all across multiple routes and time-critical appointments. Teams need live visibility of who’s available, which technician is on a job, what tools and parts are in each van, and where time is being lost. That’s why Shifton delivers a field service platform built for Mobile Auto Repair — clear statuses, accurate dispatching, and seamless coordination between customers, dispatchers, and field technicians.

This automotive-ready Field Service solution automates job routing, assigns the right mechanic to each request, and tracks progress, parts usage, and time on-site in real time. Whether you’re fixing a tire on the roadside, replacing a cracked windshield, or running a scheduled inspection, Shifton keeps operations organized, auditable, and paper-free.

With Shifton, teams cut delays, reduce missed appointments, and provide digital proof of every repair — all while keeping clients informed and vehicles moving.
