Bookkeeping Built for Auto Repair Shops

A repair shop's profit hides in the details its books usually ignore: the spread between parts cost and parts billed, the core charges floating between you and the supplier, the warranty jobs reimbursed at less than retail, the flag hours paid against hours actually billed. Your shop management system knows most of this. Your QuickBooks probably doesn't, because in most shops, the two systems have never been properly introduced.

What shop books need to get right

  • Shop management system (Tekmetric, Shop-Ware, Mitchell, Shopmonkey) synced and reconciled with QuickBooks monthly, one story, not two
  • Parts margin tracked: cost from the supplier, price on the RO, and the spread reported by month
  • Core charges and returns kept out of the profit numbers they distort
  • Warranty and comeback work costed honestly, including manufacturer reimbursements at their real rates
  • Technician payroll on flag hours, hourly guarantees, or hybrid plans, calculated right and tied back to billed labor
  • Sublet repairs (machine shop, glass, alignment) passed through with margin visible

Labor rate math you can trust

Your effective labor rate, what you actually collect per tech hour after discounts, comebacks, and unapplied time, is the number that decides whether the shop thrives. We compute it from real payroll and real ROs, monthly, so your posted rate stops being a guess.

Taxes, handled by the same firm

We prepare business and owner tax returns exclusively for our bookkeeping clients, your return gets built on shop books we closed ourselves, twelve months in a row. Quarterly estimates included. Business Tax Preparation Services
