Locomotion OS by Locoreal turns the chaos of a transmission shop into a clean pipeline focused on diagnosis cases and staged parts packets, fully integrated with protected Tekmetric sync.
Six people hand off the same car over five days. Generic shop software flattens that into a ticket. Then you find out on Friday why the Tacoma's still sitting.
Every case moves through the same six stages. Locomotion OS makes each one a living object—not a line on a ticket—so nothing quietly waits three days for someone to notice.
Decoded VIN is a hard gate for Analysis A, diagnosis case commit, and work order creation. Locomotion OS transcribes voice or manual intakes instantly, decodes the VIN, pulls vehicle history, and secures exact transmission details.
No black-box recommendations. Locomotion OS runs Analysis A (pre-drive hypothesis) and Analysis B (revised post-drive diagnosis), exposing exact inputs used, supporting evidence, missing evidence, and confidence rationale. Final conclusions require explicit human confirmation.
Track parts from any vendor on a single board, staged as Confirmed, Likely, or Optional. Margin locking at approval ensures supplier price drops become your shop margin, not discount leakage.
No vehicle leaves with unverified quality. Invoicing, customer portal payments, and delivery closeout are hard-gated. A passing post-repair verification result—comprising a standard test drive session and scanner recheck—is mandatory to close the case.
Locomotion is in early access with transmission shops. Instead of testimonials we can't yet verify, we publish the real evidence: AI diagnosis grounded in real repair history, and pricing calibrated against market data.
Because your shop has five techs and one advisor, not ten seats. Every plan includes unlimited users, unlimited work orders, and Copilot.
Yes, absolutely. Tekmetric sync is additive and protected: we never mutate your active diagnosis cases during hot sync. Active work orders enter the Locomotion OS diagnostic workflow through lazy adoption via a simple POST /api/work-orders/:id/diagnosis-case. This allows your advisors to keep using Tekmetric for operational and financial logging while using Locomotion OS as your shop's diagnostic brain.
A decoded VIN is a hard gate for Locoreal-managed Analysis A, committing a diagnosis case, and creating work orders. This ensures we identify the exact vehicle specifications and transmission family (e.g. 6L80 vs 8L90) so we never stage the wrong parts or estimate labor incorrectly. In emergencies, authorized roles can record a scan_vin override in gate_overrides to bypass this check temporarily.
Never. We believe in absolute AI transparency. Every pre-drive Analysis A or revised Analysis B exposes the exact inputs used, supporting evidence, missing evidence, and our confidence rationale. Final conclusions, parts decisions, technician assignments, and verification results always require explicit human confirmation. The AI serves as a powerful advisory assistant, not a replacement for human judgment.
To secure your shop's gross margins and eliminate comebacks, post-repair verification is a hard gate that blocks invoicing, customer portal payments, and delivery closeout. A passing result—requiring a verified test drive and scanner code recheck—must be recorded to unlock the final closeout gate and close the work order.
Yes — QuickBooks Online sync is built in: completed ROs post with parts, labor, and tax categorized for your accountant. As an early-access product, we validate the category mapping with your accountant during onboarding.
Locomotion OS is engineered for bad shop-floor Wi-Fi: the advisor dashboard keeps working through connection drops and syncs when you reconnect. Shop floor tablets cache the active bay state so a dropped connection doesn't stop a repair.
20 minutes. We import one week of your ROs and show you what your next week would look like. No pitch deck. No slides. Just your shop, in the software.
