THE PROBLEMS WE’RE WORKING ON
Less retyping.
Fewer missed steps.
The goal is to carry information from an inspection into estimates, parts checks, and customer updates, so the team doesn’t have to start over each time. Automation should save work while keeping checks on the details that can cause expensive mistakes.
Check the details before moving on.
Verify fitment, parts, labor, and approvals before information becomes an order or a customer promise.
Explain priorities before asking for approval.
Help customers understand priorities, ask questions, and make informed decisions.
THE PERSON BEHIND THE PRODUCTDerek Hüther
WHY I’M BUILDING IT
Built from
real shop frustrations.
I help run Bavarian Auto Repair. That’s where I’ve seen how much time gets lost to repeated entry, missed customer updates, and repair information scattered across different places. Those gaps can lead to mistakes that cost both the shop and the customer.
I started DH Shop OS to automate more of that routine work and make the important details easier to check. I want the team to work faster without guessing, and customers to understand what their car needs. I’m testing the workflows before offering the software to other shops.

What works today.
What comes next.
The pilot is active. Some workflows are being tested, and others still need to be finished before launch.
The Core Shop Workflow
Repair orders, estimates, assigned work, communication records, and owner reporting are in use in the private pilot.
Assisted Parts & Labor Research
Vendor research and automatic estimate preparation remain owner-controlled tests. Prices, fitment, labor and delivery still need verification.
Independent Shop Onboarding
Separate shop workspaces, live subscriptions, source-specific imports, and launch checks must be completed before new shops go live.
04 / PROPOSED PRICING
A subscription for the shop.
Extra work, quoted separately.

How does automated estimating work?
Parts and labor research is being tested in an owner-controlled pilot. Evidence, fitment, prices, delivery and labor require verification, and estimates require staff review. Fully automatic, verified quoting is not available yet.

Standard settings and guided setup are included in the proposed subscription. Custom workflows, website changes and new integrations are quoted as separate projects with a clear scope and price.
Are support and bug fixes extra?
Technical support, help using DH Shop OS, and bug fixes are included at no extra charge. Support is currently provided by Derek during business hours, with a target initial response within two business days.

Can we bring our existing shop records?
We’ll need an export from your current system. The records and totals must be checked with you before any import. Import planning is available, but an automatic importer is not ready yet.
