Terms of Use

By accessing or using Auto Repair Shop Tools, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the site.

These Terms apply to the website and the tools made available through it. Additional notices shown within a specific tool may also apply to that tool.

You may use Auto Repair Shop Tools for lawful personal, professional, or business purposes.

You agree not to misuse the site or interfere with its operation. For example, you may not:

• disrupt or interfere with the site or its services;
• bypass or attempt to bypass security measures;
• introduce malicious code or harmful content;
• use automated access in a way that places an unreasonable load on the site; or
• use the site for unlawful activity.

The tools produce calculations, estimates, comparisons, planning outputs, trackers, checklists, status boards, printable records, and other results based on the information you enter and the logic built into each tool. You are responsible for reviewing the information you enter and checking whether the resulting output is appropriate for your situation.

Auto Repair Shop Tools does not guarantee that every estimate, projected-profit figure, parts-pricing result, labor-rate calculation, productivity figure, capacity plan, dispatch plan, repair-order status, parts or vendor record, final-QC result, comeback-cost figure, deferred-work result, receivable-aging result, checklist, report, or other output will be complete, error-free, or suitable for every repair shop, vehicle, customer, technician, workflow, business model, location, or use case.

Pricing, revenue, cost, profit, margin, labor, productivity, efficiency, utilization, capacity, workload, scheduling, parts, vendor, rework, recovery, receivable, and similar results are planning or review outputs based on the information you provide. They do not guarantee any particular financial, operational, repair, safety, customer, legal, tax, regulatory, or business outcome.

You may use outputs you create with the tools for lawful personal, professional, or business purposes, subject to any rights that may apply to third-party content or information you include.

Auto Repair Shop Tools provides general-purpose tools for calculations, planning, recordkeeping, operational review, and business organization. The site does not provide legal, tax, accounting, payroll, employment, licensing, regulatory, environmental, insurance, warranty, engineering, diagnostic, repair-procedure, vehicle-safety, or other professional advice.

Where laws, regulations, licenses, contracts, taxes, customer-authorization requirements, consumer disclosures, inspections, emissions rules, hazardous-material requirements, employment requirements, technical repair information, or other professional matters apply, consult qualified professionals, official sources, and manufacturer information as appropriate.

You are responsible for the business, financial, staffing, scheduling, estimating, pricing, customer-authorization, diagnosis, repair, parts-selection, bay-assignment, quality-control, vehicle-release, warranty, recordkeeping, and other operational decisions made in connection with your repair shop.

Tool outputs should not replace your own professional judgment, manufacturer service information, OEM procedures and specifications, technical service information, customer authorizations, repair orders, invoices, vendor documents, accounting records, shop policies, inspections, safety procedures, required records, licenses, permits, or applicable laws and regulations.

Before relying on an estimate, calculation, status board, dispatch plan, receiving record, checklist, final-QC result, cost review, recovery figure, aging report, or other operational output, review it against the actual vehicle, repair circumstances, customer instructions, shop records, manufacturer information, and requirements that apply to the decision.

Auto Repair Shop Tools may change, update, add, remove, suspend, or discontinue site features or tools from time to time. The site may also be temporarily unavailable because of maintenance, technical problems, hosting issues, security measures, or other circumstances.

We do not promise that the site or any particular tool will always be available, remain unchanged, or support a specific browser, device, file format, workflow, stored-data format, or use case indefinitely.

The Auto Repair Shop Tools name, site design, original text, tool interfaces, and original website code and materials are protected by applicable intellectual property laws unless otherwise stated.

You may use the site and tool outputs as permitted by these Terms, but you may not copy, republish, sell, redistribute, or present the website, its code, or substantial portions of its original content as your own service or product without permission, except where applicable law allows otherwise.

Auto Repair Shop Tools is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the site and tools are provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free from harmful components, or that tool results will be accurate, complete, current, or suitable for a particular purpose.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Auto Repair Shop Tools will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or similar damages arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, the site or its tools.
