Can Apex Mechanic track auto parts inventory?

Yes. Apex Mechanic lets auto repair shops track parts inventory, including part names, part numbers, supplier details, quantity in stock, cost, selling price, and inventory status. This helps your shop know what parts are available, what needs to be reordered, and what parts have been used on jobs.

Can Apex Mechanic track tire inventory for tire shops?

Yes. Apex Mechanic supports tire inventory tracking for tire shops and repair shops that sell or store tires. Your shop can track tire brand, size, quantity, supplier, cost, selling price, and stock status in one place. This helps you know what tires are available, what needs to be reordered, and which supplier the tires came from — without relying on spreadsheets or memory.

Can I track supplier costs for parts?

Yes. Apex Mechanic helps your shop track supplier costs for each part. You can record what you paid for a part, what supplier it came from, and what price you charged the customer. This helps protect margins and avoid undercharging when supplier prices change.

Can Apex Mechanic help track where a part was purchased for warranty or returns?

Yes. Apex Mechanic can help your shop track which supplier a part came from, what supplier invoice it was tied to, and what the part cost. This is useful when a part fails, needs to be returned, or may be covered under supplier warranty. Instead of digging through old receipts, emails, or paper invoices, your shop can look up the part history and see where it was purchased and which supplier to contact.

Can Apex Mechanic help track low-stock parts?

Yes. Apex Mechanic helps your shop see when parts are running low or out of stock. Instead of realizing a part is missing during a job, you can review stock levels ahead of time and reorder parts before they slow down your workflow.

Can I use saved inventory parts on invoices?

Yes. Apex Mechanic lets you use saved parts directly on invoices. Instead of typing the same part details again, you can select a saved part, add it to the job, and keep the part, cost, price, and customer record connected.

Does Apex Mechanic update inventory when parts are used?

Yes, when tracked parts are used on invoices or jobs, Apex Mechanic can help keep inventory quantities updated. You can also track which part was used on which invoice, and which supplier invoice it originated from. When you delete an invoice, the part is automatically added back to inventory keeping your stock up to date.

What information can I track on the part?

Apex Mechanic allows you to track supplier, supplier invoice #, the brand of the part as well as the cost you paid. You can also add a category for your own internal organization. When multiple parts are purchased from different supplier invoices, Apex Mechanic shows you exactly how much quantity was purchased at what cost giving you high level visibility into your inventory.

Can Apex Mechanic manage supplier records?

Yes. Apex Mechanic lets your shop manage supplier information, purchase history, part costs, invoices, and balances in one place. This makes it easier to see what you bought, who supplied it, what it cost, and where to look when prices change or invoice questions come up.

Can I track supplier invoices and balances owing?

Yes. Apex Mechanic can help your shop organize supplier invoices and balances owing. You can keep supplier purchases connected to supplier records, making it easier to understand what was bought, what it cost, and what may still be owed.

Can inventory management help protect my shop's margins?

Yes. Inventory management is critical to protect your margins by showing what parts actually cost and what you charged for them. If supplier prices increase and your shop keeps using old prices, margins can quietly disappear. Apex Mechanic automatically adjusts the selling price based on the margin % or markup % you set to protect your profit margins when supplier prices increase.

Is Apex Mechanic inventory software built for small auto repair shops?

Yes. Apex Mechanic is built for independent auto repair shops, including 1-3 bay shops, growing shops, and single owner-operated businesses. You do not need a complicated warehouse system to use Apex Mechanic inventory. It is designed to help shops track the parts that matter without slowing down daily work.

Can I use Apex inventory alongside Mitchell 1, Tekmetric, AutoLeap, Shopmonkey, or QuickBooks?

Yes. Apex Mechanic can work alongside existing shop management systems and accounting tools like Mitchell 1, Tekmetric, AutoLeap, Shopmonkey, QuickBooks, and others. Apex helps with inventory tracking, supplier records, estimates, invoices, online booking, reviews, messaging, and customer communication without forcing your shop to replace everything you already use.

Why does inventory management matter for auto repair shops?

Inventory management matters because missing parts slow down jobs, over-ordering ties up cash, and unclear part costs can hurt margins. Apex Mechanic helps your shop see what is in stock, what is running low, what each part costs, and which supplier it came from — so you can keep jobs moving and protect profit.

Can Apex Mechanic track part numbers, brands, and categories?

Yes. Apex Mechanic can help your shop organize parts by part number, brand, category, supplier, cost, price, and quantity. This makes it easier to search inventory, find the right part, and keep your parts list organized as your shop grows.

Is Apex Mechanic a full warehouse inventory system?

No. Apex Mechanic is not designed to be a complicated warehouse management system. It is built for auto repair shops that want simple, practical inventory control connected to estimates, invoices, suppliers, and daily shop work. The goal is to help you track parts without turning your shop into an inventory project.
