I Built a $99 Mitchell1 Alternative That Auto Shop Owners Actually Want

Auto shop owners are getting ripped off by software subscriptions. Mitchell1 ProDemand charges $300+/month. Tekmetric wants $200+/month. RepairShopr takes $60+/month. For what? Work orders, a CRM, and parts tracking. I built JRD Garage — a complete auto shop management system for $99 one-time . No monthly fees. No per-user charges. No surprise price increases. Here's how it stacks up. The Problem: Subscription Trap If you run an independent auto repair shop, your software costs look something like this: Software Monthly Cost Annual Cost Mitchell1 ProDemand $300+ $3,600+ Tekmetric $200+ $2,400+ RepairShopr $60+ $720+ ShopBoss $200+ $2,400+ That's $720-$3,600/year just to manage work orders and customer info. For a small independent shop doing $30-50K/month in revenue, that's a significant line item. And here's the kicker: you never own anything . Miss a payment? Your data is held hostage. They raise prices? You eat it or migrate. What JRD Garage Does Everything a small-to-mid shop needs
