Why it matters

Why keep your own records?

The shop has its records. You should have yours.

Repair orders change, hours get moved, and paychecks don't always match what you expected. Keep your own record of the work you've completed.

  • Missing hours happen.

    A personal log makes it easier to catch hours that never made it into payroll.

  • Repair orders change.

    Keep track of the jobs and hours you actually completed.

  • History helps on payday.

    Compare your paycheck against your own records instead of relying on memory.

Our story

Built by a technician — for technicians.

“I built Flat Rate Tracker because I was tired of chasing missing hours, keeping handwritten notes, and wondering whether my paycheck was right.

As a technician, I know how hard we work for our hours. The last thing we need is to lose out on pay because something got missed or wasn't tracked correctly.

What started as a way to keep track of my own work became something I wanted to share with other technicians. My goal is to make it as simple as possible for techs to track their hours, keep their own records, and make sure they're getting credit for the work they've done.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Straight answers about tracking flat-rate hours, repair orders, and technician pay.

A flat rate hour tracker helps automotive technicians keep their own record of completed repair orders, flagged labor hours, and expected earnings. Flat Rate Tracker makes it easier to see what you've worked on, monitor your hours, and compare your records with your paycheck.

No. Your shop's management system is the dealership's record. Flat Rate Tracker is your own record of the repair orders, jobs, flagged hours, and expected pay you track. It runs alongside the shop's software, doesn't connect to it, and doesn't need your shop's permission.

Technicians can record each repair order, add the jobs performed, and track the labor hours they've flagged. Flat Rate Tracker organizes that information by date and pay period, so you can see your progress without relying entirely on your shop's system.

Flat Rate Tracker gives you an independent record of your repair orders, jobs, flagged hours, and expected pay. You can compare those records with your shop's payroll information to help identify missing or incorrect hours. It doesn't access or automatically correct your employer's payroll.

Yes. Flat Rate Tracker supports partial flagging, so you can record hours as they're credited, track remaining hours, and maintain a history of flagging changes when work spans multiple days or pay periods.

Yes. You can track expected earnings based on your recorded hours and pay settings. With Pro, PayTrack also lets you compare your recorded earnings with pay stub information to help spot discrepancies.

Yes. Scan RO is available with Pro and Team plans. You can photograph or upload a repair order and review the extracted information before saving it as a work order. Results should always be checked for accuracy.

Solo includes core work order tracking, saved jobs, flagged hours, goals, and reports. Pro adds Scan RO, ToolTrack, PayTrack, work order photos, and Connect API access. Team includes Pro features plus team management and reporting for multiple technicians.

Flat Rate Tracker is available on the web and Android, with account-based syncing across supported devices, and is coming soon to iPhone. Flat Rate Tracker One is a separate offline mobile app with a one-time purchase. See all apps.

Not necessarily. Flat Rate Tracker offers subscription plans starting with Solo, while Flat Rate Tracker One is a separate $9.99 one-time-purchase app for core tracking on your device. You can also use the free tracking resources available on this website.

Your records are yours. Flat Rate Tracker doesn't share your work orders, jobs, or pay information with your employer. If you join a Team, the Team can see your work activity and flagged hours while you're a member, but not your pay information or work history from before you joined. Flat Rate Tracker One keeps its records on your device. Read the Privacy Policy for how account data is handled.

It depends on where you subscribed. Web subscriptions are billed through Stripe: sign in on the web, open your Account page, and select Manage subscription. Subscriptions bought in the iPhone app are managed in your Apple account's subscriptions, and Android subscriptions in Google Play. Team plans are billed on the web and managed by the Team owner. Flat Rate Tracker One is a one-time purchase, so there's nothing to cancel. Support has the details for each.

Your hours. Your records. Your peace of mind.

Start tracking your work, flagged hours, and expected pay with a tool built by an automotive technician.
