Inspections and approvals

From the bay to your customer's phone in minutes

The mechanic inspects the car with the phone in hand, adds photos and a short video of what needs fixing, and the advisor sends the report as a link. The customer approves the work and it lands on the job.

  • 58-point checklist that adapts to the vehicle
  • Every point rated Good, Soon or Now
  • Approve or Not now on each repair, with prices
  • Approved work added to the job by itself

Every invoice, payment, bill and receipt goes into proper books as you go, so the GST/HST return, payroll and year end are ready when you are, not a weekend of catching up.

  • GST/HST return lines 101 to 115, worked out for you
  • Bank and card statements matched in a click
  • Payroll for hourly and flat-rate mechanics
  • One download for your accountant at year end

Questions

Questions shop owners ask

Who is MapleFix for?

Independent auto repair shops in Canada, from a one-bay garage to a busy shop with a dozen technicians. It's built around how a repair shop actually works: work orders, inspections with photos, customer approvals, tires and parts, and the books behind them. Today its tax and payroll are made for Ontario: HST at 13% and Ontario payroll tables.

How do I get an account?

Request access with a few details about your shop. A real person reviews every request and emails you within one business day. Once you're approved, you get an email to set your password, then you add your team and start your first job.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every plan starts with a free trial, and you don't need a credit card to start. The pricing page shows how long it lasts and what each plan costs.

Where is my data stored?

On MapleFix's servers in Toronto, Canada. Each shop's data is kept in its own separate part of the database, everything travels over an encrypted (HTTPS) connection, and the whole system is backed up every night. A few things reach outside services only when you use them: decoding a VIN asks the US government's NHTSA vehicle database (just the VIN, nothing about your customer), emails go out through your own email provider, and reading receipts with AI only happens if you add your own Claude key.

Can my mechanics use it on their phones?

Yes. The Android app gives every mechanic their jobs, the inspection with photos and video, check-in and scanning. Each person unlocks a shared phone with their own PIN, and mechanics never see costs, profit or the books. The iPhone app is coming soon.

Does MapleFix file my GST/HST return?

It works out every line of the return from your own invoices, bills and receipts, and locks the period once you mark it filed. You copy the lines into CRA My Business Account or GST/HST NETFILE yourself; MapleFix doesn't send anything to CRA. See GST/HST return.

Can I get my data out?

Always. Settings → Data downloads everything as one file, with every photo and attachment, and invoices, payments and reports export to spreadsheets. Even if your account is ever suspended or cancelled, the owner can still sign in to download the shop's data.
