We build this for you
This isn't a product you buy. It's an app we build for your business.
Wve Labs is a software development agency. Everything on this page is the kind of automotive app we design, build, launch and maintain for repair shops, dealer groups and fleet operators — branded as yours, integrated with your systems.
Discovery with your service manager
We sit in the lane, map your write-up process and scope the app around how your shop actually runs.
Design your customers adopt
Onboarding flows built so a first-time driver signs up in under a minute — no training required.
Build, integrate and launch
DMS and telematics integrations, App Store release, and ongoing maintenance handled by the same team.
Everything the driver wonders about, answered in the app we build
Six modules we ship as a service-lane suite — or piece by piece into your existing dealer management system. Scroll the row with your mouse wheel.
Upfront cost estimate
Itemized parts and labor before a wrench turns — no surprise line items at the counter.
Service-history log
A permanent record of every service, mileage and part, keeping drivers loyal to your shop.
Loaner & rental coordination
Reserve, extend and return loaners in-app, synced to your fleet calendar.
Digital approval for extra work
Push the amended quote and capture a signed approval in seconds — no chasing voicemails.
Pickup-ready notification
Automatic alerts the moment QA clears the vehicle, with hours, balance due and directions.
Try the services, don't just read about them
These are live mini-apps — tap a stage on the phone and scan the advisor dashboard on iPad. Every interaction is a module we build into your product.

Applied AI
AI that earns its place in the service lane
Four capabilities we build into automotive products — each with a real example of how it runs day to day.
AI repair diagnostics assistant
Helps technicians identify likely issues faster from symptom descriptions.
ExampleTech types “rough idle, check engine at cold start” — the assistant ranks probable causes with the codes and fixes seen on that platform.
Predictive maintenance alerts
Flags a customer's likely next service need before it becomes a breakdown.
ExampleMileage, telematics and past invoices predict brakes at ~4 weeks out and text the customer a pre-booked slot.
AI chatbot for service scheduling
Handles booking and basic questions without tying up the phone line.
ExampleAnswers hours, pricing and loaner availability, then writes the appointment straight into the shop calendar.
Automated repair-cost estimator
Instant ballpark quotes from a description or photo of the issue.
ExampleCustomer photographs a cracked bumper cover — the app returns a parts-and-labor range and hands it to an advisor to confirm.
