Repair orders, photos and parts on one vehicle record
Custom repair orders, vehicle photos, parts and invoicing for independent auto body and repair shops in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana.
- Repair order, vehicle, parts, and invoice on one record
- Photos attached to the job, not a camera roll
- Vehicle history keyed by VIN
- Estimating stays in the tool you already use
When the repair order lives in one system, parts in another and photos on someone's phone, you have three versions of the same car. Clixo builds auto body and repair shop software where the repair order, the vehicle, the parts and the invoice are one record. Insurance estimating stays in the platform you already use.
What we build
Custom shop software for independent body and repair shops, built around the job:
- Repair orders that tie together the vehicle, the customer and the work.
- Photos at each stage, attached to the repair order instead of a camera roll.
- Parts from shared inventory, counted when they go on the car.
- Invoices and receipts written from the same repair order.
- Customer and vehicle history by VIN, so the next visit starts where the last one ended.
What stays where it is
Insurance estimating stays in your estimating platform. We don't import estimates, connect to insurers or run direct repair programs. We also don't build ADAS calibration, parts-supplier ordering, paint and materials tracking or a digital inspection product.
Related work
We have not shipped a body shop system yet. These are the closest things we have built:
- VINtage Garage is our own iPhone app for car owners. It keeps a VIN-keyed record of service history, parts, costs, photos and documents.
- Gokul Wholesale and ANG Wholesale run on platforms we built, with inventory, a counter POS with barcode scanning and receipts, invoices and customer credit. More on POS systems.
- A field service platform where work orders, photos, signatures and a draft invoice share one record. Read the field service write-up.
Where we work
We build from Itasca for independent shops in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana.
How a build starts
We spend time in your shop before we design anything. We look at the repair order you use today, where the photos go and how a part leaves the shelf. The first version is one working vehicle record: the job, the photos, the parts and the invoice. You get weekly notes and you own the system.

Frequently asked
- What POS does an auto body shop need?
- One where the repair order, the vehicle, the parts and the invoice are the same record. Clixo builds that for independent shops; insurance estimating stays in the estimating tool you already use.
- Can it keep history by VIN?
- Yes. We already run VIN-keyed vehicle records in VINtage Garage, our own app at vingarage.app. It is a vehicle history app for owners, not shop software, but the record works the same way.
- Do you replace insurance estimating?
- No. Insurance estimating stays in the platform you already use. We don't import estimates or connect to insurers.
- Do you handle payments?
- We connect checkout to a payment provider your business already uses or can get approved with. We are not a payment processor ourselves.
- Where do you build this?
- From Itasca, Illinois, for independent auto body and repair shops in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana.
