Car Repair & Automotive Service Maintenance Management

We build a dedicated repair-management layer as a proper Odoo module. At its core is a new service.repair.order model (models.Model) linked to a vehicle record (extending fleet.vehicle or a lightweight custom automotive.vehicle when Fleet is not licensed), carrying VIN, plate, make/model, odometer-in/odometer-out, and a state machine (draft → diagnosed → quoted → approved → in_progress → qc → done → invoiced). Job lines split into labor operations and parts lines; @api.depends compute fields roll up estimated vs. actual hours, parts cost from stock moves, and a live margin figure. Parts consumption is wired to real stock.move records so inventory and valuation stay correct, and technician labor can post to Timesheets/Analytic accounting for true job costing. Approvals, SLA reminders and status-change notifications are driven by Odoo automated actions and scheduled jobs (ir.cron), and the whole thing is exposed over the standard XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API so your booking site, telematics feed, or a mobile check-in tablet can create and update orders programmatically.

The interface is built to match how a service advisor and a workshop foreman actually work: a Kanban board of live jobs by bay/status, an OWL/QWeb job-card form with the vehicle history timeline inline, and printable QWeb PDF reports for the estimate, the technician job card, the gate-pass, and the final invoice — all localized and brand-styled. Security is done properly with ir.model.access.csv plus record rules so an advisor sees their branch's orders, a technician sees only assigned jobs, and multi-company operators get per-company isolation. We target Odoo 17.0, 18.0 and 19.0 and account for Community vs. Enterprise differences up front — for example, wiring the module to Enterprise Field Service or Fleet where you have those, or delivering self-contained equivalents on Community so you are never forced into an edition upgrade you did not plan for.

Because this is built to order, delivery follows a clear path rather than a download button. After a short scoping call we confirm your exact workflow, edition, integrations and localization, then build against a staging copy of your database, run UAT with you, and go live with a rollback plan and a defined support window. Typical delivery is 2–4 weeks from confirmed scope, depending on integration and data-migration depth. Pricing starts from $299 (indicative, single-company base scope); multi-company/multi-branch rollout, telematics or booking-site integrations, deeper localization, and migrating large volumes of historical repair and vehicle data increase the quoted scope. You get a fixed quote after the scoping call — never a surprise invoice.
