Teach how an auto repair shop runs—from a customer’s car to a finished repair order.

What GearFlow Does

GearFlow models the operations of a real auto repair shop, where the work is hands‑on, the data is visual, and the workflow is easy to understand. Instead of hearing about repair orders in theory, learners work inside a functioning digital shop and watch a job unfold step by step.

Throughout the module, learners build real software literacy—skills they can carry directly into automotive programs, apprenticeships, and early‑career shop roles.

Learners explore the core operational areas of a repair shop:

• Customers — Track customer information and service history

• Vehicles — Manage VINs, mileage, and repair details

• Repair_Orders — Build jobs from labor and parts lines into a running total

• Schedule — Assign work, manage bays, and track deadlines

• Parts — Pull from stock, trigger low‑inventory warnings, and see how software monitors data

• Equipment — Track shop tools and availability

• Sales_and_Payments — Follow a repair order through checkout

• Technicians — Explore roles, permissions, and workload

Students see how a repair order builds itself: adding labor and parts increases the total, pulling a part reduces inventory, and low stock triggers alerts. They experience how software “watches” the shop and notifies humans when something needs attention.

Two Role‑Based Learning Views

GearFlow mirrors how real shops use permissions and access control.

Technician View

Tools for completing jobs, checking off tasks, and updating repair orders.

Manager View

Administrative access for scheduling, inventory, pricing, and shop oversight.

This dual‑view structure helps learners understand how responsibilities and sensitive information are separated in real‑world auto repair operations.
