Technician reviewing a digital inspection beside a vehicle on a lift

Automotive service software

The AI Operating System for Modern Automotive Service.

RevLane brings leads, scheduling, estimates, repair orders, digital inspections, technician workflows, customer communication, payments, and revenue intelligence into one connected platform.

The problem

Service work runs through too many disconnected tools

Leads sit in an inbox. Scheduling lives on a whiteboard. Estimates are texted. Inspections are photos on a phone. Invoices are somewhere else entirely. Work slips between the gaps, and so does revenue.

  • Service requests arrive in five places

    Phone, web form, text, social DM, walk-in — nobody owns the list.

  • Estimates approved by text message

    No authorization trail if the customer disputes the work later.

  • No record of what a customer deferred

    Declined recommendations disappear instead of becoming future revenue.

  • Technician time tracked on paper

    Actual hours never make it back into pricing or payroll.

  • Follow-up depends on who remembers

    Leads go quiet and nobody notices until the month closes.

  • Reporting assembled by hand

    Spreadsheets built after the fact instead of numbers you can act on.

AI service intake

Understand the job before the vehicle arrives

AI Service Check turns a customer's plain-language description into structured intake: vehicle, complaint, urgency, and the follow-up questions your advisors would have asked anyway.

Guided intake

Symptom captured with the context your team needs to quote and schedule.

Follow-up questions adapt to the symptom, so advisors stop chasing basics.

Delivery routing

Flags whether the work fits mobile service or requires the shop.

Jobs needing a lift or alignment rack are routed to the shop automatically.

Human in the loop

AI suggests; your staff confirms. Nothing is promised to a customer automatically.

Straight to the pipeline

Every check becomes a tracked lead with an owner and a next action.

Repair operations

Move work through the shop without guesswork

Repair orders carry services and labor operations, assignments, parts status, and service status — visible on one workflow board.

Repair orders

Services and labor operations under a single record.

Change a service and the estimate, technician view, and invoice stay in sync.

Scheduling

Capacity-aware appointments for shop and on-location work.

Availability accounts for bay capacity, technician skills, and travel time.

Technician assignment

Right job, right technician, with time tracked per operation.

Assign by skill and load, then see live time against each labor operation.

One shared view of what is waiting, in progress, and ready.

Waiting on parts, in progress, ready for pickup — one board, no phone tag.

Digital vehicle inspections

Evidence customers can actually act on

Findings, photos, and real measurements go to the customer for line-by-line authorization. Declined work stays on record as a future opportunity.

  • Inspection findings

    Red, yellow, and green results per inspected item.

  • Photos and video

    Visual proof attached to the finding, not sent separately.

  • Measurements

    Pad thickness, tread depth, and readings recorded as values.

  • Customer authorization

    Line-by-line approve, decline, or defer with a timestamp.

  • Recommendations

    Suggested work ranked by safety and urgency.

  • Deferred work history

    Postponed items stay on the vehicle record for later.
