Auto shop software, auto repair
Shopmonkey and Tekmetric fight for the same repair shop. The ones that picked AutoLeap are your market.
AutoLeap is the cloud shop-management platform built for the independent repair shop — the owner-operator who switched off a 15-year legacy install or graduated from paper in the last five years. If your sales motion runs through independent auto repair, the AutoLeap install base is the account map your AE team has been asking for.
founded, Toronto-based
An independent startup, not a PE roll-up or legacy incumbent. Bain Capital Ventures led the April 2023 Series B alongside Advance Venture Partners and Threshold Ventures. The engineering team that built the original app is still running the product.
raised across four rounds
Venture-backed growth capital funding expansion inside the independent repair segment. The rounds span a 2020 seed through the April 2023 Series B, making AutoLeap one of the better-capitalised independents in the shop-management category.
subscription, no public list price
Tiered plans priced per location, gated behind a demo. Sits in the same SMB shop-management price band as Tekmetric and Shop-Ware. The owner-operator picks the plan, not a procurement seat.

Where buyers shop when they leave AutoLeap.
The five tools that come up most when an owner-operator is shopping out of AutoLeap, ranked by the displacement conversations Orbital sees inside the independent shop-management category. Each alternative is ranked by head-to-head frequency in the US and Canadian shop buyer pool, not by total revenue or total customers in the wider auto aftermarket software category.
| # | Alternative | Positioning vs AutoLeap |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Shopmonkey | The closest like-for-like. All-in-one shop-management for auto repair and specialty shops, competing on the same independent SMB buyer with overlapping feature footprint and a similar demo-gated price model. |
| 2 | Tekmetric | The displacement competitor most often named in head-to-head deals. Modern, cloud, growing fast inside the same independent shop pool. Wins shops that put workflow visibility above everything else. |
| 3 | Shop-Ware | Cloud shop-management with a strong digital vehicle inspection story. Picks up shops that built their service-advisor workflow around DVI and want the photos and videos front and centre. |
| 4 | Mitchell 1 | The legacy incumbent. Long-running shop-management plus repair information, on-prem heritage with a cloud track. Owns the shop that has run the same system for fifteen years and is finally ready to look at alternatives. |
| 5 | CCC ONE | The collision and auto-body lane. Tightly integrated with insurers, the dominant estimating platform for body shops rather than mechanical repair. Different buyer profile, named when a shop runs both repair and body work. |

Who buys this data

This page is for vendors selling into the shop owner, not the shop owner themselves. If you ship one of the categories below, the AutoLeap users file is the account list your AE team has been asking for.
The long version
Detail, on demand.
AutoLeap concentrates in one vertical, and concentrates inside one slice of it. The buyer on the other end of every install is almost always the shop owner, not a corporate office, not a dealership group, not a procurement seat. That is what makes the file useful, and that is what makes it expensive to build by hand.
Independent general repair shops. The largest single slice of the AutoLeap file. The buyer is the owner with three to twelve bays, a service writer at the counter, and a parts rep on speed dial. These are the shops that took on shop-management software in the last five years rather than the last fifteen.
Specialty mechanical shops. European specialists, diesel and truck specialists, performance shops, and EV-focused independents. Different parts catalogues, same shop-management need. They show up across both the US and Canadian footprint.
Multi-location mom-and-pop groups. The two-to-five shop owner-operator who runs each location as its own P&L but wants one platform across the books. Squarely AutoLeap’s middle of the bell curve, and the same buyer Tekmetric and Shop-Ware fight for.
The aftermarket SMB, not the dealership lane. AutoLeap does not show up in franchised new-car dealerships or in large collision chains. Those buyers use dealer management systems or CCC ONE. AutoLeap is the independent aftermarket, full stop.
The notable customers in our file include shops that lean on AutoLeap at the bay level, such as CarTronics, Acclaimed Auto Repair, Steve and Sons Auto Repair, Stone’s Auto Service, Moore’s Automotive, Universal Auto Care, Spincam Tirecraft, D&S Automotive, Frontline Automotive, and Apex Automotive. These are illustrative names from the file, not endorsements; the dataset spans the full install base of independent shops running AutoLeap across the US and Canadian aftermarket.
Orbital is a custom agent platform, not a scraped list. The AutoLeap customer file is built fresh every time you pull it. Here is what runs under the hood.
How the AutoLeap customer file is built
- The tech stack agent crawls a shop’s booking and estimate surface and confirms whether it is actually running AutoLeap, on demand. The check happens at pull-time, so the file is current at delivery, not scraped six months ago.
- The owner finder names the decision-maker at each shop and confirms them on LinkedIn. For the single-location owner who does not maintain a polished profile, we find them by license, by review-site authorship, and by state-registration filings.
- The email waterfall returns a work email and checks deliverability before it ships. The phone intel agent adds a dial-or-skip read on every number so your dialer is not chasing dead lines.
- The ICP score grades each AutoLeap account A through D against your fit formula. You upload three closed-won shops, the score calibrates, and the worklist sorts by likelihood, not by alphabet.
- The chain rollup separates the multi-location operator from the single-shop owner so a two-shop group does not get called twice for the same procurement seat. The bay-level owner is the buyer for most vendor categories, and we keep that buyer named.

If you ship one of the categories below, the AutoLeap users file is the account list your AE team has been asking for. This page is for the vendor selling into the shop owner, not the shop owner themselves.
Parts distributors and jobbers. NAPA, WORLDPAC, AutoZone Commercial, Advance Pro, and the regional jobber network that needs a current map of independent shops to call on for the next pallet of pads, the next case of filters, and the next bay-side delivery account.
Aftermarket warranty and repair-financing platforms. Sunbit, Synchrony CarCareONE, Snap Finance, and the consumer-financing layer that lives at the service-advisor counter. The owner signs the merchant agreement.
Payments and processing vendors targeting independent shops, where the take rate plus integration with the shop-management ticket is the displacement angle.
Marketing, SEO, and review-management agencies selling websites, Google Local Service Ads management, and reputation services to operators who built their books on word of mouth and a single sign on the road.
Competing shop-management platforms running displacement campaigns. Shopmonkey, Tekmetric, Shop-Ware, Mitchell 1, and CCC ONE all live in this account list whether they like it or not. A shop that switched to Tekmetric last quarter is still in the AutoLeap file until the agent rechecks. That is a renewal window, and renewal windows are what account-based campaigns are for.
Do not buy this if any of the following are true.
You only sell to franchised new-car dealerships or enterprise collision chains. AutoLeap is independent aftermarket, not dealer and not body. If your motion needs a fixed-operations director at a 200-rooftop dealer group, the public dealership groups are not on AutoLeap in volume. If body shops are your buyer, the CCC ONE customer file is the right cut.
You sell to vehicle owners directly. Consumer auto data, lead-gen sites, and end-user maintenance apps want the driver and household database, not B2B shop-owner contacts.
Your sales motion only fires above $100k ACV. A single-location independent with eight bays rarely writes a six-figure annual check on day one. The long tail of owner-operated shops will not fit your unit economics. Call us when an enterprise-only motion stalls.
You want a head-to-head competitor’s install base instead. If your buyer is the shop already running Tekmetric or Shopmonkey, the Tekmetric customer file and the Shopmonkey customer file are the right cuts. Same buyer profile, different stack.
You need real-time state safety-inspection or emissions-license status. State motor-vehicle boards publish that, with renewal and suspension windows that move daily. We refresh monthly, the right cadence for prospecting and the wrong cadence for compliance gatekeeping.
If you bought “AutoLeap customers” from a generalist B2B database last quarter, you bought a CSV that bounces at roughly 18 percent and names the wrong person on most of the rows that do land. The big providers index publicly traded parents and mid-market employers first, so the owner-operated single-location LLCs that actually run AutoLeap either show up as blank rows or roll up to a franchise parent that does not own the install. The shop owner is the buyer. The franchise office is not.
Most files sold as “companies using AutoLeap” come from one of three sources: a scrape of a directory or case-study page, an enrichment vendor’s tech-stack guess based on a JavaScript fingerprint, or a one-year-old export from somebody’s CRM. All three age out fast in this category. An independent shop switches shop-management platforms in the off-season. The case-study page lingers for years after the install is gone. The file looks like a list right up until your AE team works it for a week.
The harder problem is the owner. The AutoLeap install base is heavy on single-location operators who do not maintain a polished LinkedIn presence and do not have a procurement seat that maps cleanly to enrichment data. Generalist databases see the shop and miss the owner, or they roll up to a parent that does not exist. The shop owner is the buyer for almost every vendor category that sells into AutoLeap customers, and that name is exactly the field that goes blank in a typical export.
Orbital’s tech stack agent re-checks the shop’s booking and estimate surface at pull-time, the owner finder confirms a named human, and the email waterfall checks deliverability before the file ships. That is the difference between a vendor-grade worklist and a stale CSV that bounces at 18 percent.
Questions
Before you ask sales about the AutoLeap dataset.
What are the best AutoLeap alternatives in 2026?
The five most common AutoLeap alternatives, ranked by the displacement conversations Orbital sees inside the shop-management category, are Shopmonkey, Tekmetric, Shop-Ware, Mitchell 1, and CCC ONE. Shopmonkey and Tekmetric compete head-to-head on the same independent SMB shop AutoLeap targets. Shop-Ware leans on digital vehicle inspections. Mitchell 1 anchors the legacy repair-information side. CCC ONE owns the collision and auto-body lane the others do not.
Can I get a list of companies that use AutoLeap?
Yes. Orbital builds a vendor-grade list of the independent shops confirmed running AutoLeap, filterable by US or Canadian state, metro, shop type, bay count, and chain affiliation. Each record carries a named owner, a deliverability-checked work email, and a direct dial. We send a sample of around 100 verified owner records you can check against your own pipeline before you commit.
How current is the AutoLeap customer data?
Every record is built live when you pull the list. The tech stack agent re-checks the shop's booking and estimate surface on demand, so the file reflects platform usage as of pull-time, not a scrape from six months ago. The snapshot quoted on this page is June 2026; the next refresh moves as shops open, close, or switch shop-management platforms.
When is the AutoLeap dataset the wrong fit?
Three cases. First, if you sell only to franchised dealership groups or enterprise collision chains, the AutoLeap file skews independent-aftermarket and you want a different cut. Second, if you sell to vehicle owners rather than shop owners, you want consumer data, not a B2B owner list. Third, if your sales motion only fires above $100,000 in annual contract value, a four-to-eight bay owner-operator will not fit your unit economics.
