Frequently asked questions
What is the best free auto repair shop management software?
Pronto is a free, open-source auto repair shop management software that includes service order tracking, appointment booking, parts inventory, client CRM and automated notifications via Email, Telegram, WhatsApp and Viber. The self-hosted version is free forever with no limits. The cloud version has a free tier and paid plans starting at $19/month.
Can clients book a service appointment without creating an account?
Yes. The public booking page only requires a name and phone number — no registration, no password, no app to download. Clients pick a time slot, describe the issue briefly, and the booking appears in your calendar instantly.
How does Pronto handle service orders for auto repair shops?
Each appointment can be converted into a service order (job card) that tracks the vehicle, the work performed, parts used, labor time and total cost. When the job is complete, the client receives an automatic notification via WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber or Email.
Can Pronto send clients a message when their car is ready?
Yes. Pronto sends automated notifications at key moments: booking confirmation, appointment reminder 24 hours before, and a ready-for-pickup message when the job is marked complete. All messages go via the channel the client prefers — WhatsApp, Telegram, Viber or Email. No manual texting needed.
Can I track parts inventory and get low-stock alerts?
Yes. Pronto tracks stock levels for every part and material in your shop. When any item drops below your minimum quantity, an automatic alert is sent to the owner via Email, Telegram, WhatsApp or Viber — before you run out mid-job.
Does Pronto store vehicle history per client?
Yes. Each client record stores their full service history — every visit, every job performed, parts replaced, total spend and notes. You can pull up a returning client's vehicle history in under a second.
Is Pronto an alternative to auto repair shop booking platforms?
Yes. Unlike marketplace platforms that charge commissions and lock your client data in their ecosystem, Pronto charges zero commission. You own your client and vehicle database completely. You can also self-host the entire system on your own server with no vendor lock-in.
How do I install Pronto on my own server?
You need Docker on any Linux VPS, Windows or macOS machine with at least 1 GB RAM. Run
docker compose up -d and the full auto repair management system starts automatically. No DevOps knowledge required.Start managing your auto repair shop for free
Cloud setup takes 5 minutes. Self-hosted is one command. Either way — zero commission, forever.
