Why Autara

Built around how car-care pros actually work.

Bookings, payouts, customer messaging, and reviews live in one app. No plug-ins, no separate scheduling-payments-chat stack.

01

Verified bookings, every time

Every customer is signed in and pays a deposit before you confirm. No more time-wasters, ghost calls, or last-minute no-shows.

02

Stripe-secured payouts

Deposits hold until the job's complete, then Stripe pays you directly within 2 business days. No invoices, no chasing.

03

Your shopfront, online

Your Autara profile is your portfolio: photos, services, pricing, reviews. Share one link, take bookings around the clock.

Smart calendar

See your entire day in one view

Drag-and-drop your schedule, block holidays, set buffer time between jobs, and let customers book around the gaps automatically.

  • Block off lunch breaks, prep time, or travel windows in two taps
  • Sync to your phone calendar so you never double-book
  • Recurring services lock in slots weeks ahead

Booking management

Accept, reschedule, complete: from anywhere

New booking requests push to your phone instantly. Accept with one tap, message the customer, mark complete when the job's done.

  • Push notifications for every new request and message
  • Auto-decline after 30 minutes so customers aren't left waiting
  • Customer reschedules need your approval before they stick

Customer chat

Talk to customers without sharing your number

Every booking gets its own private chat. Send arrival ETAs, ask follow-up questions, share before/after photos. All in one thread.

  • Send + receive photos and files in-app
  • Read receipts so you know when the customer's seen your message
  • Full booking context attached to every conversation

Reviews engine

Build your reputation automatically

Every completed job triggers a review request. Customers leave a rating and comment without you ever asking. Top-rated pros surface first in search.

  • Star ratings + written reviews on your public profile
  • Reply to every review: public, so future customers see your tone
  • Higher rating = higher placement in the customer marketplace
