Body and paint shop software
For: Body, paint and collision shops · Updated October 25, 2026
Short answer
In body and paint, everything depends on photos: they document the damage you'll repair, the damage that was already there, and the progress. The software should keep the photos in the order, build the quote by part and labor, get written approval from the customer's phone, and show progress without them having to call.
The essentials
- Check-in with photos of every damage and the customer's signature.
- Quotes by part (straighten, paint, replace) and parts.
- Approval of all or part from the phone.
- Tracking: the customer sees which stage their car is in.
- A warranty on the work, especially the paint.
Insurance jobs
If you work with insurers, keep the check-in photos and the approved quote in the same order: that's what the adjuster will ask for. Record the customer's deductible separately.
How Sherom does it
