What shop owners ask most.

Is LiftOS really AI-powered or is that marketing?

Real AI. The scheduling system uses machine learning to score bay compatibility by service type, enforce buffer windows, and balance utilization. Parts sourcing cross-references repair orders with supplier catalogs. This isn't "software that helps you do things" — it's software that does them.

Why is LiftOS cheaper than AutoLeap if they're both AI-first?

AutoLeap's pricing is partly brand and sales overhead — their model requires demos and contract negotiations. LiftOS operates lean. We publish our price, you sign up online, it works. The AI is real; the overhead isn't.

What's the catch with ShopBoss at $99/mo?

The catch is that full feature access requires a higher tier — exact pricing and feature gates are hidden behind a contact form. And even at full price, ShopBoss has no AI automation beyond scheduling. You're still doing all the manual work.

Can I switch from Tekmetric without losing my data?

Yes. LiftOS supports CSV imports for customer and vehicle data. Appointment history, invoices, and service records can be migrated. Most shops complete migration in under an hour.

What happens to my AutoLeap contract if I switch?

Nothing — you're responsible for AutoLeap's contract terms. We can't cancel it for you. That's why we recommend starting with LiftOS's 14-day free trial before committing to anything. You'll have full visibility into how LiftOS works in your shop before any financial commitment.
