Real-Time Scheduling with AutoOps
AutoOps provides online scheduling solutions and integrates with most major shop management systems. RepairPal offers a free integration with AutoOps that will confirm your availability before scheduling any appointments and will automatically put appointments on your shop calendar to save you time.
You will no longer need to manually accept each appointment, or re-enter the appointment details into your shop management system.
Please note: Availability of this scheduling feature is dependent on your shop management system.
We will be rolling this out in waves, so stay tuned for notifications via email and in your dashboard that it's ready!
