Frequently asked questions
Tekmetric scores F on the API Report Card. Tekmetric publishes a REST API through its developer portal, using OAuth 2.0 client credentials with a sandbox available. Access is not self-service: it requires an active paid subscription and manual approval that typically takes 2 to 3 weeks. Every query caps at 25 records.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Tekmetric is a cloud-based, all-in-one shop management platform for the independent automotive repair industry, founded in 2015 by Sunil Patel and Prasanth Chilukuri and headquartered in Houston, Texas.
Field Service Management, specifically independent automotive service shops. Service writers create repair orders and digital estimates from the front counter or tablet, send them via SMS/email with photos and videos for customer approval, and collect deposits or full payment through integrated card processing or text-to-pay.
Very high within independent auto repair.
Tekmetric holds the operational and financial nervous system of an auto repair shop: every customer and vehicle record (with VIN, plate, mileage history, prior service), full repair order history (estimates, approvals, technician notes, inspection photos/videos, labor and parts line items), parts and tire inventory with cost and vendor pricing data, labor matrices and pricing rules, integrated payment transactions (card, text-to-pay, BNPL, capital financing), SMS/email message threads with customers, appointment calendars and workflow status, technician time and job clocks, multi-shop performance KPIs, CARFAX service history, Google Reviews activity, and parts purchase orders to PartsTech/WorldPac/Advance Professional.
Modern. Founded in 2015 and built cloud-native from day one, Tekmetric is one of the newer-generation shop management systems alongside Shopmonkey and AutoLeap.
API access requires manual approval from Tekmetric, with a documented 2–3 week wait for client ID and client secret provisioning. API is gated behind an active paid Tekmetric subscription; no third-party developer tier or sandbox without a customer relationship. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include Shopmonkey, Mitchell 1 (Manager SE), AutoLeap, Shop-Ware, Shop Boss, Protractor. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Tekmetric API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Tekmetric data. See the Tekmetric integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/tekmetric-api.
