Scarab OS and AutoFluent, side by side.
Both run an independent repair shop. They are priced on different ideas and put different things in the entry plan. Everything about AutoFluent here was read on its own pages on 20 October 2026.

Who should stay with AutoFluent
- You run a tire and wheel business and want tire size lookup and tire ordering inside the software.
- You want your locations to share one set of customers and vehicles.
- You want a free trial, or training at your own shop; we offer a demo shop instead.
- Your counter orders parts through a catalog inside the software.
If none of those describes your shop, the difference is what you pay for the rest, and whether a finished job is kept as a sealed record.
Moving across
Customers, vehicles and your past repairs import from CSV files on Shop and Group; photographs, open jobs and payments stay behind. Each past repair needs the customer's name and a date written one clear way, such as 2024-03-12, and you see a preview before anything is saved.
