Shop Hero Superpowers

Power-ups for Tekmetric shops, by Shop Hero Dashboard.

Supercharge your Tekmetric workflow and eliminate the repetitive clicks that slow your team down with Shop Hero Superpowers. Superpowers is a power-up pack for auto repair shops running on Tekmetric. It layers a set of time-saving automations and guardrails directly on top of the Tekmetric screens your team already uses every day — no new software to learn, no switching between tabs, no copy-and-paste. Just faster, more consistent repair orders and a clearer picture of shop performance. What this extension does Shop Hero Superpowers adds a suite of "power-ups" inside Tekmetric that let you: Standardize your repair orders so every ticket looks right, every time Automate the tedious, repeatable steps techs and advisors do dozens of times a day Catch mistakes — and missed checklist items — before they leave the shop Make sure repeat customers automatically get the discount they're entitled to Keep customer data and marketing source tracking clean and accurate Keep your team accountable with a built-in technician leaderboard It is designed specifically for auto repair shops and service teams using Tekmetric. Core features Text Insert (formerly Disclaimer Insert) Right-click any field — job notes, RO notes, vehicle notes, customer notes, inspection findings, the customer concern fields, and more — to drop in standardized text instead of retyping it. Every entry is tagged to the exact fields it belongs on, so the picker only ever shows what's relevant, and an optional badge on the RO Estimate page shows how many were inserted so nothing goes unnoticed. Labor Rate Updater Automatically set the right labor rate on new repair orders based on the customer, a customer tag, the vehicle, or job category — with every matching rule surfaced so your advisor always picks the right one instead of a rate silently getting lost. Stop leaving money on the table with under-priced tickets and manual rate lookups. Canned Job Auto-Loader Add your recurring jobs to every new repair order automatically. The jobs you add to every ticket load the moment the RO is created. Customer Discounts Automatically applies a customer's assigned discount the moment a repair order is created — no advisor has to remember, look it up, or apply it by hand. Same-name customers are easy to tell apart (phone number shown right in the list, with a direct link to their Tekmetric profile), and you can kick off a new discount straight from a customer's own Tekmetric page. Inspection Completeness Warn technicians about missing inspection items before the inspection is finished, so nothing gets skipped and every DVI is complete. Job Completions Shows a shop-configured checklist the moment a technician marks a job — or a service advisor marks the whole repair order — complete, matched by canned job, job category, or keyword. Items can require a check, or be satisfied with a bypass reason when they genuinely don't apply, with an optional hard block until everything's addressed — and a read-only result view afterward shows exactly what was checked, bypassed, or missed. Priority & Reorder Set job priority and auto-sort the job board, so the most important work always rises to the top. VIN Repair Lookup Launch a one-click VIN lookup straight into your repair-information databases — ALLDATA, Identifix, Mitchell1/ProDemand/Snap-on Altus, or Car-Part.com — no re-keying the VIN into another site. Marketing Source Verification Automatically flags marketing sources that don't match whether a customer is new or returning, right on the repair order and customer forms — so your lead-source reporting stays trustworthy without your advisors having to double-check it by hand. Pairs with a one-click setup tool that configures your shop's marketing sources for it automatically. 2-Way Label Sync Keep repair order labels in sync between Tekmetric and your Shop Hero dashboard automatically, in both directions! Hide Scrollbars A small cosmetic touch for teams also running the Shop Hero Dashboard board: hides the on-screen scrollbar for a cleaner look. Scrolling itself works exactly the same — mouse wheel, keyboard, or touch. Key benefits Fewer clicks, faster tickets Every power-up removes a step your team repeats all day. The time saved adds up fast across a busy shop. Consistency across every RO Text inserts, canned jobs, labor rates, discounts, labels, and inspections all follow the same standards automatically — no matter who's writing the ticket. Fewer costly mistakes Missing inspection items, incomplete job checklists, mispriced labor, and mismatched marketing sources get caught before they cost you money or muddy your reporting.
