Workshops and fleet operators running Odoo usually stitch vehicle repair together from parts that were never meant to fit: a sale.order for the estimate, a generic project task for the labor, Inventory for the parts, and a spreadsheet for the actual inspection findings. Odoo's native fleet app tracks vehicles, odometer logs, and service-cost history, but it has no repair-order lifecycle, no structured multi-point inspection, no technician assignment with labor lines, and no customer-facing estimate-to-approval flow. The moment you need to answer "which of the 42 inspection points failed on this intake, who signed off, and what parts were consumed against which warranty," the native model runs out of road — and bolting the workflow onto sale.order leaves you with no inspection data model at all.

We build a dedicated Odoo application around a first-class repair-order model. A new models.Model (for example avr.repair.order) carries the vehicle (linked to fleet.vehicle), customer, intake odometer, complaint, and an explicit state machine (draft → inspection → estimate → approved → in_progress → qc → done → invoiced) driven by real buttons rather than free-floating kanban stages. Inspection is its own structured model: configurable checklist templates expand into inspection lines with pass/fail/advisory status, severity, photo attachments, and measured values, so a @api.depends-computed health summary rolls up automatically. Labor and parts sit on separate One2many line models — labor lines reference operation catalog entries with standard hours and rate, part lines reserve stock from stock.move/product.product so consumption is real inventory, not a memo. QWeb reports render the branded inspection sheet and the customer estimate; automated actions (base.automation) fire follow-up reminders for advisory items and next-service due dates.

Everything is wired for governance and integration the way an expert expects. Access is enforced through ir.model.access.csv plus record rules so a technician sees only assigned jobs while a service manager sees the bay, and multi-company rules scope data per branch. The repair order exposes clean methods over Odoo's XML-RPC/JSON-RPC API so a booking website, a bay tablet, or a fleet telematics feed can create intakes and read status without touching the UI. We build against your Odoo edition and tell you honestly where a capability needs Enterprise (for example advanced field-service dispatch or full accounting): on Community we deliver the equivalent within the module rather than pretending a paid app is present. The module ships as a proper addon with its own __manifest__.py, versioned for Odoo 17.0, 18.0, or 19.0.

Because this is built to order, nothing installs until we have agreed scope. After a short scoping call we confirm the exact inspection templates, states, roles, and integrations you need, then design, build, and test on a staging copy of your database. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope, followed by UAT sign-off, production install, and a post-go-live support window. Pricing starts from $999 (indicative, single-company base scope); multi-company or multi-branch rollout, deeper inspection templating, telematics or booking-site integrations, localization of tax and invoice layouts, and historical repair-data migration volume increase the quoted scope. You receive a fixed quote after the scoping call — never a surprise invoice.
