Software for studios whose work speaks for itself.

Tint, PPF, wraps and detailing. A booking menu shaped like your price list, check-in photos that end disputes, and before and after links that sell the next job.

Free plan to start. UK-built and UK-hosted. ICO registered.

A tint or PPF studio is a visual business run from a phone. The work wins customers when they see it, the bookings arrive through Instagram and WhatsApp, and the most expensive argument in the building is whether that mark was there at drop-off. Most trade software ignores all three. Autera leans into them: every car gets a timestamped photographic record from check-in to collection, every finished job becomes a before and after link the customer shares for you, and the booking menu takes fixed-price requests while you keep control of the diary. Start free, and grow into the studio website and review booster when you are ready.

FEATURES

Built for a trade the eye judges

Four jobs every studio does daily, done properly.

Before and after links that sell the next job

Pair the before and after shots and send one branded link with a draggable slider. It plays video, works over WhatsApp, and does more selling than any flyer. Every link carries your studio name and number.

Check-in photos that end disputes

Walk the car at drop-off and every photo is timestamped with a tamper-evident fingerprint. When someone insists the scratch was not there before, you show them the car as it arrived, with proof the file has not changed since.

A booking menu shaped like your price list

Front pair, full car, shade options, PPF panels, full details: fixed prices and durations per service, taken as requests you confirm. The reg lookup fills the make and model before the car arrives.

Your studio website, built in

A customisable site at your own address with your gallery, services, enquiry form and booking, published when you say so. For a trade that lives on Instagram, it is the link in bio that actually converts.

HOW IT WORKS

A car through the studio, end to end

From the DM to the review, with evidence the whole way.

1

The booking request lands

From your site, your link in bio or a WhatsApp chat. Service, shade, day and reg, waiting in one inbox instead of buried in DMs.

2

Check-in, camera out

Walk the car, shoot the glass and panels. Timestamped, fingerprinted, filed against the reg before the trim comes off.

3

Do the work, shoot the after

The after shots pair with the before automatically. Film brand, shade and batch go in the job notes for the warranty file.

4

Send the link, take the payment

One message: the before and after slider, the invoice with a card payment link, and a Google review ask at collection.

BEFORE AND AFTER

The DM diary vs a studio that runs itself

Same craft, a lot less chaos around it.

THE OLD WAY
✕Bookings buried in Instagram DMs and missed calls
✕That scratch was already there, with no way to prove it
✕Best work sits unseen in a camera roll
✕Paper diary, no deposits, no-shows eat the day
WITH AUTERA
✓Requests with service and time, confirmed in one tap
✓Timestamped, fingerprinted check-in photos of every panel
✓Before and after slider links sent straight to the customer
✓A confirmed diary, reminders, and reviews asked for automatically
WHY AUTERA

Your work is the marketing. We make it travel.

Salon booking apps do not understand cars. Workshop systems bury a studio under MOT menus it will never use. A tint and PPF business needs the middle: vehicle records, photographic evidence and a diary, without the rest of the garage bolted on.

Autera starts free, runs from the phone already in your pocket, and every finished car leaves behind a share link that brings in the next one.

Start free for your studio.
FAQ

Tint and PPF studio FAQ

Autera runs any vehicle business built on jobs, bookings and invoices. A tint or PPF studio simply ignores the MOT side and uses the parts that fit: a fixed-price booking menu, check-in photos, before and after share links, invoicing and the studio website. Nothing forces you through features you do not need.

Shoot the car before and after in the app, pair the photos, and send one branded link. The customer gets a draggable slider between the two shots, on a page carrying your studio name and contact details. It works over WhatsApp, plays video, and is the single best piece of marketing a visual trade can send.

Yes, and this is the feature studios tell us about. Check-in photos are timestamped and carry a tamper-evident fingerprint, so when a customer says the mark on the glass or paint was not there before, you can show exactly what the car looked like when it arrived, with evidence the file has not been changed since.

Bookings arrive as requests with the service and time the customer wants, and you confirm each one, so a stranger can never block out your bay. Card payment happens on the invoice by Stripe link. Taking a deposit at the moment of booking is not built yet; if your studio needs it, tell us, because we build for the studios that talk to us.

Every job carries notes, photos and documents, so film brand, series, shade and batch live against the car and come straight back up years later when a warranty question lands. Certificates are part of the Workshop plan if you want to hand the customer something formal.

Solo is free forever: 20 jobs, quotes and invoices a month, which covers many one-person studios. Autera Snap at 19 pounds a month is the light option if you mainly want the camera, documents and share links. Starter at 29 pounds removes the limits, and Workshop at 79 pounds adds the booking page, your studio website and the review booster.
