Built Specifically for the Complexity of Transmission Repair.
General automotive shop management tools fail at driveline diagnostics. We engineered four proprietary technological pillars that eliminate comebacks, accelerate parts sourcing, and provide irrefutable customer proof.
Teardown Bench Vision & Deepgram Voice
3-shot bench photo capture with multimodal severity scoring (friction wear, metal filings, valve body scoring) plus voice dictation directly transcribed into technician work order findings.
Next-Best-Action HUD & Shop-Floor Radar
Curated transmission-family failure mode correlation badges (6L80 TCC slip, 8L90 valve body wear, 10R80 CDF clutch drum) paired with a live Diagnostic Completeness Radar and real-time bay dispatcher.
Show-Your-Work Proof & 1-Tap Approvals
Token-scoped customer tracking page with side-by-side comparisons ('What normal looks like' vs 'Your damaged clutch pack'), plain-English root causes, and instant 1-tap rebuild estimate approvals.
Torque Converter Reman & Core Ledger
Multi-facility torque converter and turbine tracking across Mansfield and Torreón plants. Automated core exchange deposits, serial number provenance, and inclusive warranty boundaries.
From Audio Intake to Gated Delivery: The Golden Path.
Every repair job follows an unbroken chain of custody and verification. Zero skipped diagnostics, zero unverified deliveries, zero lost keys.
Intelligent Audio Intake & Hard VIN Gate
Capture customer phone calls or counter walk-ins with live Deepgram voice streaming. VIN is hard-gated before analysis can begin, automatically matching exact OEM build sheets via RepairLink.
- Voice-to-Text Transcription: 4-minute customer complaints summarized in 5 clean lines.
- RepairLink OEM VIN Decode: Exact transmission family, RPO codes, and TSBs retrieved.
- Dual Birth Receipt: Diagnosis Case ID and Tekmetric RO linked immutably.
“Customer reports harsh 3-4 upshift and delayed reverse engagement when engine warms up. CEL on with code P0751.”
Mobile shop efficiency, straight from the bay.
No dedicated scanners or expensive proprietary hardware required. Any tech with a smartphone can scan VIN door barcodes, photograph teardown bench wear, and capture road-test audio directly into the Diagnosis Case.
3-Shot Teardown Evidence Protocol
0.92 Visual Correlation ScoreGuided camera angles capture magnet debris, fluid color, and clutch drum wear. Analysis B correlates wear patterns to OEM TSBs before parts ordering.

General Shop Software Was Never Built for Driveline Complexity.
Transmission rebuilds are exacting work involving hundreds of precision internal parts. When generic software treats an overhaul like an oil change, shops suffer mispriced quotes, lost diagnostic hours, and recurring comeback warranties.

- 02Inaccurate VIN decoding leads to mispriced valve bodies and obsolete replacement components.Costly Parts Errors

- 04Double-entry across shop DMS, parts suppliers, payment terminals, and accounting drains 15+ hours/week.Operational Friction
Running Production Volume in Arlington & Houston.
Locomotion OS was not conceived in a vacuum. It was built, tested, and iterated on the shop floors of high-volume Texas transmission facilities processing hundreds of heavy-duty rebuilds every month.
Before Locomotion OS, our technicians spent hours digging through Mitchell and chasing down customer approval over the phone. Now, the 3-shot teardown vision and Next-Best-Action radar give customers complete trust. Our same-day authorization rate jumped to 91%, and our comeback rate is the lowest in our shop's 20-year history.

Everything You Need to Know About Locomotion OS
How does Locomotion OS integrate with our existing Tekmetric DMS?
Locomotion OS uses a protected, additive synchronization model. Active Tekmetric work orders are lazily adopted into diagnosis cases without ever mutating your existing Tekmetric database in the hot sync path. Vehicles, customers, parts, and status flow seamlessly between both systems.
What is the 'Hard VIN Gate' and why does it matter?
In transmission repair, an inaccurate VIN or trim assumption leads to severe mispricing (e.g., ordering the wrong valve body or gear ratio). Locomotion OS strictly gates Analysis A, diagnosis case commitment, and work order creation on an exact, decoded VIN matched against OEM build data.
How does the Teardown Bench Vision & Deepgram Voice system work?
When a transmission is torn down on the bench, technicians take 3 standard photos (pan/debris, valve body, clutch pack) and dictate findings. Our multimodal AI analyzes friction wear and metallic shavings, assigns a severity score, and populates the work order findings automatically.
Can we connect our existing Smart Key Cabinets and hardware?
Yes. Locomotion OS supports electronic key cabinet synchronization with RFID and QR codes. Keys are checked out to specific bays and technicians with timestamps, and the Verification Gate ensures keys are returned before a vehicle can be marked ready for delivery.
How does the Verification Gate reduce comeback warranties?
Standard shop software allows service writers to invoice and release vehicles before post-repair checks are done. Locomotion OS locks closeout and invoicing until a technician records a verified post-repair adaptation road test with acceptable slip RPM and sensor telemetry.
