For independent auto repair shops
The operating layer for your auto repair shop
Ascension works alongside your shop-management software — a live Today's Work board synced from your shop system, digital vehicle inspections with voice-fill, team chat with automations, AI-guided concern intake, and per-VIN vehicle data, all in one place.
The integration story
Reads your repair orders. Pushes your quote back.
Ascension rides alongside your shop management system, not in place of it — push inspection findings, labor times, and maintenance recommendations to your system with a click.
- 01
Reads your repair orders
The board stays live from the repair orders already in your shop management system — nothing to re-enter, nothing to migrate.
- 02
You quote the work off the inspection
Factory maintenance intervals for the VIN flow straight onto the inspection — then, one lookup pulls labor for every recommendation.
- 03
Pushes your quote back
Recommendations and labor land on the repair order in your shop management system — find parts and call the customer on the software you already run.
One system, every job
Your whole day, on one board
Don't miss due service
Maintenance that's due, right on the repair order
Factory schedules and your shop's own intervals, checked against that vehicle's history — what's due is on the repair order before you're at the counter.
Learn more →Quote off the inspection
No retyping the quote
One lookup prices the whole job list instead of one line at a time; one push lands recommendations and labor on the repair order in your shop management system — netted hours and all, with each line's repair procedure riding along for the tech.

State of the art
Dictate the inspection. Watch it fill itself.
A real recording — the founder walks a 2010 Camry inspection by voice.
Learn more →Nothing lost at drop-off
The right questions, asked at drop-off
As the customer describes a concern, Ascension asks the follow-up questions that catch what they left out — so the tech starts diagnosis with the whole story, not a guess.

Built-in messaging
The message finds the tech
Stop walking across the shop to pass a message — chat lives next to the work, on the desk and in the pocket.

Their thread, on your screen
Texting that lives at the shop, not on somebody's cell
Two-way texting with customers — every conversation in one thread on screen, next to the day's work.
Customer texting — the shop's conversations in one inbox
iOS + Android
Your shop floor, in your pocket
Techs work from the bay, not a back-office PC. Inspections, team chat, and the repair-order hub — the same shop, on the phone already in their pocket.
Team chat that travels with the tech, not the front desk.
Run the inspection from the bay — dictate findings with Voice-Fill.
Every repair order and where it stands, one tap away.

The company
Built at the service desk of my dad’s shop.
Ascension comes from years of writing service at Harvey’s Autotech — built by a service writer who liked his shop management system and wanted the rest to keep up. Run from Lake Elsinore, California.
