Customer Hub

One conversation per customer, across their whole history

Shops talk to customers in a dozen disconnected places: a text from a personal phone, a call no one logged, an estimate emailed last month, an invoice in the filing cabinet. When the customer calls back, whoever answers is flying blind. That friction costs trust, and trust is what brings a customer back.

The TorqOS Customer Hub gives every customer a single timeline. Estimates, approvals, inspections, invoices, visits, and two-way text messages all live in one thread, so any advisor can pick up the conversation with full context. It is the CRM and the communication layer in one — and it is built into the same platform that runs your shop.

Why the Customer Hub matters

Full context before you reply

Open one customer and see their vehicles, visit history, estimates, invoices, and every message — so advisors answer with the whole picture, not a guess.

Two-way SMS in one thread

Texts to and from the customer land in the same timeline as their service records. No personal phones, no lost conversations.

Compliant opt-out built in

STOP and START are handled automatically. Opted-out customers are clearly flagged, and the platform blocks messages to them — so you stay compliant without thinking about it.

Every shop-sent message in one place

Estimate links, approval requests, ready-for-pickup alerts, and invoices all flow through the Hub and stay on the record.

A real customer record

The Hub doubles as your CRM: contact details, vehicles, lifetime history, and follow-up opportunities for every customer you’ve served.

How it works

How the Hub keeps every thread together

Everything you send a customer and everything they send back lands in one place, automatically.

1

Messages route by phone

Inbound and outbound texts are matched to the customer by phone number and added to their single conversation thread.

2

Shop events join the timeline

Estimates sent, approvals received, invoices issued, and pickups announced all appear in the same history.

3

Advisors reply with context

Before responding, the advisor sees the full record — what was quoted, what was approved, and what’s outstanding.

4

Opt-out is enforced for you

If a customer texts STOP, they’re flagged opted-out and further messages are blocked until they text START.

The CRM and the inbox, finally in one place

Auto repair shops are usually told they need two separate tools: a CRM to hold customer records and a texting platform to message them. The problem is obvious the moment a customer replies — the message lands in one system while their history sits in another, and the advisor has to swivel between them or simply answer blind. The conversation and the context never live together.

The TorqOS Customer Hub collapses that gap. Because the platform already holds the customer, their vehicles, their estimates, and their invoices, adding the conversation to the same record is natural — not an integration you have to maintain. Every advisor sees the same timeline, so the customer gets a consistent, professional experience no matter who picks up.

Communication that respects the customer — and the law

Texting customers is the most effective channel a shop has, but it comes with responsibility. Carriers and regulations expect shops to honor opt-out keywords, and a customer who asked you to stop and got another marketing text is a customer you’ve lost. Most shops handle this manually, which means eventually someone forgets.

TorqOS handles opt-out at the platform level. When a customer texts STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, or CANCEL, they’re marked opted-out, a confirmation is sent, and every outbound path — estimates, invoices, ready-for-pickup, and revenue-recovery campaigns — refuses to message them until they opt back in with START. Advisors see a clear flag in the Hub before they ever try to send. Compared with stitching together a standalone CRM and SMS vendor, the Hub gives you the same reach with compliance built in.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the Customer Hub?

It’s a single timeline per customer that combines their CRM record — contact details, vehicles, visit history — with every message and shop event, including two-way SMS, estimates, approvals, and invoices.

Does it replace a separate CRM?

Yes. The Hub is your customer database and your communication inbox in one, so you don’t pay for or sync a standalone CRM.

How does two-way texting work?

Outbound and inbound texts are matched to the customer by phone and kept in one thread, alongside their estimates and invoices, so any advisor has full context.

How is opt-out handled?

Automatically. STOP/UNSUBSCRIBE/CANCEL opt the customer out (with a confirmation), every send path blocks opted-out numbers, and START opts them back in. Opted-out customers are clearly flagged.

Can my whole team use it?

Yes. Every advisor works from the same shared timeline, so the customer experience is consistent regardless of who responds.

Which plan includes the Customer Hub?

The Customer Hub is included starting with the Shop Growth plan ($299/month).
