Create a better service lane from appointment to checkout.
DEALERTERRA connects every step of the service experience — booking, write-up, dispatch, approvals, and checkout — so advisors can focus on the customer, not the clipboard.
Every repair order — visible, trackable, accountable.
The service manager sees every active RO, every status, every advisor, and every approval that's pending — all in real time. No more walking the lane to find out where something stands.
From appointment to checkout — every step connected.
DEALERTERRA replaces disconnected handoffs with a single service workflow that keeps every RO moving, every approval captured, and every customer informed without phone tag.
Everything your service lane needs to run at full throughput.
DEALERTERRA service tools are built for the speed and complexity of a real fixed ops operation — from the morning rush to the last RO of the day.
Digital Write-Up & MPI
Advisors open repair orders in seconds with customer and vehicle history pre-loaded. Multi-point inspections are completed digitally — no paper forms, no illegible handwriting.
Declined Work Tracking
Every declined service is captured, categorized, and queued for follow-up. Advisors and service managers see which customers have open declined work — and automated reminders bring them back.
Digital Customer Approvals
Customers authorize additional work via text or in-app notification. No more trying to reach someone by phone. Approvals are timestamped, logged against the RO, and visible to the manager.
Technician Dispatch & Load Balancing
Service managers see every tech's queue, current RO, and available capacity. Dispatch new work to the right tech based on skill level, estimated hours, and bay availability.
Customer Communication
Automated status updates go to customers when their vehicle is checked in, when work begins, and when it's ready. Advisors stop answering "is my car done yet?" calls all afternoon.
Sales History Integration
When a service customer is also a past sales customer, the advisor sees their full history — vehicle, deal date, mileage at delivery, and any service upsells that are now due or overdue.
We were leaving real money on the table every week with declined work we never followed up on. Our advisors would write it down, and it would disappear. DEALERTERRA made every declined RO visible and created automatic reminders — we brought back over $40,000 in declined work in the first 60 days. Our throughput went up too, because managers could see every RO without walking the whole lane every hour.
The right service tools for every person on your team.
DEALERTERRA service gives each role exactly what they need — without burying advisors in manager-level data or leaving managers blind to what's happening in the lane.
