Multi-Location / Auto Services
Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, and Mitchell1 bill you per shop, and a customer who visits two of your locations is two records on two vehicle histories. Rehost is one branded app, one customer-and-vehicle record, owned in your group's name.
The shop-management system stays. Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, or Mitchell1 runs the bay, the estimate, and the repair order, and we don't touch it. What we replace is the per-shop sprawl bolted around it: the management seat at each location, the separate texting and review tool, the customer list and vehicle history that restart every time you acquire a shop. One app, one unified customer-and-vehicle record, loyalty that travels across every shop.

Why the per-shop stack stops working at shop number two.
- Every tool bills per shop, so the stack compounds. Tekmetric is reported around $199/mo (Start) to $439/mo (Scale) per shop, with multi-shop at $70/mo per shop and Tire Suite at $39/mo per shop on top. Shopmonkey runs roughly $199 to $475/mo per shop before its custom multi-shop tier. Then a texting and review tool like Podium, reported around $399/mo for one location and scaling by location count, stacks on each site. A four-shop chain commonly clears $1,500 to $3,000/mo before anyone is unified, and every shop you open adds the full stack again.
- Customer and vehicle history are siloed per shop. Shop-management systems are typically installed shop by shop, often acquired with the shop itself, frequently on separate databases that never talk. A customer who gets brakes done at your Whittier location and an alignment at your Cerritos location is two customer records on two vehicle histories. The advisor at the second shop can't see the declined job, the prior repair, or the maintenance the car is due for, so you re-diagnose what you already know.
- Loyalty and reminders don't follow the customer. Service reminders, declined-work follow-ups, and any loyalty or rewards offer are scoped to the shop that has the record. A customer who moves between your locations falls out of the reminder cadence, gets double-texted by two systems, or never gets the offer at all. The retention tool that should keep a car coming back instead trains it to treat each shop as a separate business.
- Nobody has the cross-shop view. Because each shop runs its own management seat, its own texting tool, and its own customer list, there's no single place to see lifetime value across the group, which customers visit more than one shop, or whether a promotion at one location actually moved cars. The reconciliation lands in a spreadsheet one person maintains by hand and nobody can take a week off from.
One customer app across every shop, owned by your group.
We build and operate one branded app, one website, and one customer-data platform for the whole group. Customers book service, see their vehicle's history, get maintenance reminders, and carry their loyalty through the same app whether they pull into Pasadena or Long Beach, and their record follows them across shops instead of restarting. The shop-management system each location runs, Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, or Mitchell1, stays as the system of record on the bay side; we integrate around it and unify the customer-and-vehicle layer on top. A regular at one shop is recognized, history intact, the first time they visit another.
Rehost is a software lease with an operating team, not a dashboard you administer. Your service advisors and front counter never log into a builder. You send a request and our team ships the change, handles App Store submissions, and runs the platform. You own the App Store account, the domain, the code, and the customer and vehicle data in your group's name from day one. And the bill is by total monthly active users across the whole group, not per shop: $950/mo up to 2,000 MAU, $1,500 up to 10,000, $2,500 up to 50,000. Opening or acquiring a fifth shop doesn't add a fifth subscription.
Built for a chain of shops, not a single bay.
One customer-and-vehicle record across every shop.
A customer is one identity, and each of their vehicles carries one service history, no matter which location did the work. The advisor at any shop sees prior repairs, declined jobs, and what the car is due for, instead of starting from a blank record.
Loyalty and reminders that travel.
One rewards program and one reminder engine across every shop. Service-due reminders, declined-work follow-ups, and loyalty offers reach the customer on the same cadence wherever they go, instead of a separate texting tool firing per location.
Integrated around the management system each shop keeps.
We wire the app into the Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, or Mitchell1 each location already runs rather than ripping it out. Repair orders, estimates, and the bay workflow stay where your team expects them. The customer layer sits on top, unified.
One branded app across every location.
A single native iOS and Android app under your group's brand, listing every shop, with booking, vehicle history, and loyalty in one place. Not one app per shop, and not a template with your logo dropped on top.
Cross-shop view, no admin panel.
Lifetime value across the group, which customers visit more than one shop, and per-site performance in one place. Your team doesn't administer it. You ask for a cut of the data or a change and our team ships it.
New shops launch on the same platform.
Opening or acquiring a location means adding it to the existing app and customer base, not standing up a new subscription and a new database. The brand, the loyalty program, and the unified record come pre-built.

What multi-shop operators ask.
Do we have to rip out Tekmetric or Shopmonkey at every shop?
No. Those are genuinely strong shop-management systems, and they stay as your system of record on the bay side: repair orders, estimates, inspections, and the technician workflow don't change. We integrate around whatever each shop runs, Tekmetric, Shopmonkey, or Mitchell1, and build the customer-facing app, loyalty, and unified customer-and-vehicle record on top. If different shops run different systems, we work with that too.
How is this cheaper than our per-shop stack?
Today most chains pay per shop: Tekmetric is reported at roughly $199 to $439/mo per shop plus multi-shop and tire add-ons, Shopmonkey runs around $199 to $475/mo per shop, and a texting and review tool like Podium stacks another reported $399/mo and up per location. For a four-shop chain that's commonly $1,500 to $3,000/mo before anyone is unified. Rehost is one platform billed by total active customers across the whole group, sized to your customer volume, not your shop count.
What happens to a customer who visits more than one of our shops?
They're one identity in the app, and each of their vehicles carries one continuous service history across every location. The advisor at the second shop sees the prior repair, the declined job, and what the car is due for. That's the case the per-shop stack structurally can't handle, because each shop runs a separate database and a separate customer list.
Will loyalty and service reminders work across all our shops?
Yes, that's the point. One rewards program and one reminder engine cover the whole group. A customer enrolled at one shop is already a member everywhere, loyalty redeems at any location, and service-due reminders and follow-ups run on one cadence instead of two tools double-texting the same person. That's the opposite of most per-shop setups, which scope the record to the shop that has it.
When we acquire another shop, what changes?
You add the shop to the same app and the same data layer. The new location gets your brand, your booking flow, your loyalty program, and the unified record, and its customers join the group instead of staying on whatever tools came with the acquisition. Because pricing is by total active customers, you're not re-buying the full stack for the new shop. And it's all yours: if you ever leave, we export everything and hand off the accounts.
