Getting Started with BodyShop Pro: A Quick Setup Guide

Create Your Account

Getting started with BodyShop Pro takes less than five minutes. Head to our registration page, enter your shop name, email, and create a password.

Set Up Your First Customer

Navigate to the Customers page and click "New Customer." Enter their name, phone number, and email. You can also add their vehicle right from the customer form — make, model, year, color, VIN, and license plate.

Create Your First Work Order

Go to Work Orders and click "New Work Order." Select the customer, choose the vehicle, and describe the damage. You can set the status, assign a technician, enter insurance details, and set a target completion date.

Pro tip: If you have an estimate PDF or a photo of a printed estimate, drop it on the Import from Estimate box and the AI pre-fills the vehicle, insurance details, total and repair tasks for you to review, instead of typing them manually.

Track the Job as It Moves

Open the work order to tick tasks off as they get done, upload progress photos, and attach documents to the job. Each time you change the status, the work order history records what changed, who changed it, and when — so nobody has to walk to the front desk to ask where a vehicle is.

What's Next

Explore the rest of the features at your own pace — inventory tracking, the AI supplier invoice scanner, paint booth scheduling, and more. If you need help at any point, our support team is available at [email protected].
