For PPF, tint & coating shops

How to take a real day off

Without losing a single lead, job or payment — even if you've been the system for the last five years.

01The problem

You don't have a lead problem. You have a handoff problem.

Work isn't the constraint. Everything between the first message and the repeat visit is.

01/ THE HANDOFF

Every question comes to you

The lead's in a DM. The quote's in a doc. The photos are on a tech's phone. Nobody can answer a customer without asking you first.

02/ THE STACK

Four tools that don't talk

CRM, texting app, quote builder, invoicing, reviews. You pay for all of them and you're still the integration between them.

03/ THE GUESSWORK

Full bays, thin bank account

Without one record per job, you can't tell if the problem is leads, closing, ticket size or repeat work.

02Why not what you've already tried

You've bought software before. Here's why it slid off.

Repair shop software

Shopmonkey, Tekmetric, Jobber

Made for oil changes and brake jobs. It doesn't know how to quote tint, paint protection, or ceramic coating.

A generic CRM

GoHighLevel, HubSpot, Pipedrive

You have to build everything yourself. It doesn't understand cars, bays, or who installs what.

Texts and a spreadsheet

The way most shops actually run

Fine when it's just you. But once you hire help, only you know what's going on.

03The job, end to end

Here's the same job when it all lives on one record.

PHASE 01 · Intake

No lead sits overnight

DMs, forms, missed calls and referrals land on one board with the vehicle and the next action attached.

Customer hub: every lead on a board, with the next action attached.
Customer hub: every lead on a board, with the next action attached.
PHASE 02 · Proposal

They accept with one tap

No midnight PDF. They tap a link, see the price, hit accept — and you see the second they open it.

Native proposal on the customer's phone: priced, visual, one tap to accept.

PHASE 03 · Production

"Is it done yet?" stops hitting your cell

Check-in, prep photos and progress updates post to the job and go out to the customer on their own.

PHASE 04 · Upgrade

The upsell happens without you

The offer is built from the car in the bay, with photos of that vehicle — and the tech gets credit for it.

PHASE 05 · Payment

You stop chasing money

Deposits up front, balance links on completion, one ledger that syncs to your books.

Payment ledger: deposits, balances and sync history in one place.

PHASE 06 · Retention

Repeat work stops depending on your memory

Reviews, referrals, maintenance reminders and win-back run as one sequence.

Retention and referral tracking, running without you.

04Adoption

“My team won't use it.” They won't — unless it pays them.

Journey Hub tracks upgrades flagged and photos attached by name. Spiffs become a number you both can see, so using the system is how they get paid more.

Installer

The car in front of them

Check in, drop photos, flag an upgrade — tracked to their name.

Setter / front desk

Today's leads and replies

One inbox, one next action per lead. Nothing lives on a personal phone.

Service advisor

Open jobs and money owed

Send the proposal, take the deposit, push the balance link.

Owner

The whole shop, scored

Leads, close rate, ticket size, repeat work — with the constraint named.

05 · Everything else

That's the spine. It's about a third of the app.

The rest runs the parts your customer never sees. We walk through it live on the call.

Front of shop

Capture every lead, quote it, and follow up before it goes cold.

Shop floor

Run jobs quote to completion — including mid-service upgrades with photos of the car in your bay.

Back office

Money, payroll, and books tied to the same job record.

Marketing & retention

Know which ad paid for itself and follow up until they refer.

Team & operations

Morning Huddle, tech-level upgrade credit for spiffs, and a health score that names this week's constraint.

What you'd ask before you gave us your number

Answered the way we'd answer them on the call.

My team won't use it.+

They won't if it only reports on them. Upgrades flagged and photos attached are tracked by name, so a spiff is a number nobody argues about.

We use Jobber / Square / a spreadsheet. Do we rip it out?+

Accounting stays where it is and payments sync to it. Everything else moves into one system so nothing gets re-typed.

How long before it's running in my shop?+

We set it up with you — your services, pricing and lead sources. Most shops take real leads through it in week one.

How is this different from Shopmonkey or GoHighLevel?+

Repair software is built for work orders, not coverage options and coating upgrades. A generic CRM is a blank pipeline you build yourself.

Are there per-text or per-proposal fees?+

No. Unlimited proposals and job records. Messaging is passed through at cost.

What does it cost?+

Flat monthly per location. No cut of revenue, no contract — we quote it on the demo.

You're new. Why should I trust it?+

We run our own styling shop on it. You'll see real numbers from it on the demo.

What happens to my data if I leave?+

It's yours. Export everything any time. Cancel with 30 days' notice, no exit fee.

120-Day Performance Guarantee

If Journey Hub doesn't add at least $5,000/month in trackable extra revenue or owner time savings within 120 days of going live, we'll work with you for free until it does.

No fine print. No hidden conditions. If the system isn't paying for itself in four months, we keep working until it is.

Get your evenings back.

Twenty minutes on your actual lead flow. If it won't pay for itself, we'll tell you on the call.
