ShopBayHQ
Every car.
Every bay.
Full picture.
Real-time visibility for your entire shop floor — who's working what, where every car is, and nothing falls through the cracks.
No contracts · Free tier forever · Works on any iPad
The gap
You know your shop. Now your whole team can too.
Every car's status, every bay's assignment, every advisor's queue — visible to everyone on the floor, updated the second something moves.
No radio calls asking where something is. No guessing who's on what. Just one screen with the full picture.
What you get
Everything your floor needs. Nothing it doesn't.
Real-time Kanban
Drag a car from intake to done. Everyone sees it the second it moves.
Sub-second sync. Works offline. PWA-installable on every iPad.
Visual Lot Map
Design your lot once. See every vehicle pinned to its actual spot, color-coded by service status.
Drag-and-drop lot designer. Admin-only. Any shape, any size.
Intake photos that protect you
Guided walkaround. Front, sides, rear, interior, wheels. Timestamped, encrypted, per-vehicle.
Customer claims you scratched it? Pull the intake reel. Done.
Hours without the spreadsheet
Clock in, clock out, weekly CSV. Shared iPad mode with PIN quick-switch.
No payroll ambitions. Just the numbers you need to run the floor.
Why this exists
“Four years on the floor at a luxury dealership. I knew exactly how a great shop should run — total visibility, zero confusion, every car accounted for. So I built the board I always wanted. Now every shop can have it.”

Questions
What shop owners ask before signing up.
Will my staff actually use it?+
If they use a group chat, they can use this. The Kanban is one screen. Clock in is one button. Built for shops, not software engineers.
What if I cancel?+
You keep your data. Export to CSV any time. No lock-in, no exit fees. We'd rather you stay because we earned it.
Does it work on the iPad mounted on my wall?+
Yes. Installable as a PWA, landscape-optimized, shared-device mode with PIN quick-switch between staff.
Is my customer data safe?+
Each workspace is fully isolated. Photos are stored encrypted. We never train anything on your data. Session cookies are HTTPS-only and rotated.
What if the internet goes down?+
The PWA caches the shell; recent state stays visible. When connectivity returns, changes sync automatically.
Can I customize service types and columns?+
Every workspace defines its own service types, statuses, lots, and roles. No hardcoded industry assumptions.
Do you have an API?+
Business tier includes REST API access. DMS integration and webhooks are on the roadmap — ask if you have a specific need.
Who built this?+
A detailer who spent four years on the floor at a luxury dealership in Toronto. Knew exactly how a great shop should run — total visibility, zero confusion. Built the tool to make that real for every shop.
Total visibility.
Zero confusion.
