It is one screen that shows every car in the shop and the stage it is in. Cars move across it as the work progresses, from dispatch through body, paint and final inspection. Anyone can look at it and know where a job stands without walking the floor or asking.

No. It runs alongside CCC and Mitchell. They keep estimates, payments and parts. Carvikon tracks the work itself, so the board is the one place that knows where every car is.

Shopmonkey is an all-in-one platform, so it sells you estimating and payments a second time. Carvikon is only the production board. You keep the estimating system you already pay for and add the one thing it does not do well.

An afternoon. Add your stages, add your cars. There is no data migration, no implementation call and nothing to install.

If they can drag a card, they can use it. Most shops walk the crew through it once and never do it again. There is one screen to learn, not a suite.

Yes. The same board is built for a phone in one hand and for a big screen on the wall. Techs can add photos to a car by scanning the QR code on the job, which opens the camera on their own phone without a login.

Three plans, each covering one shop. Starter is 49 a month for the board, your customers, the calendar and customer emails. Pro is 99 and adds texting, e-signature documents, the time clock, card payments and reports. Elite is 199 and adds the AI Front Desk, the AI Suite, QuickBooks sync and no limit on users. Paying annually takes 20 percent off any of them, so Starter comes down to 39 a month. More shops are 25 a month each on Starter and Pro, and 99 on Elite, where every shop brings its own AI Front Desk.

No. You give an email address and a password, choose the plan you want to try, and it is yours free for 14 days. You can move between plans as often as you like while the trial runs, so nothing you try out costs anything and the price you see at the end is the one you picked. We ask for a card only if you decide to carry on afterwards.

The account stops until you add a card, and nothing is deleted — your board, cars, customers and history are exactly as you left them. Add a card and you pick up where you stopped. Do nothing and you are never charged, because we never took a card in the first place.

Yes, and it is included in Pro and Elite rather than sold separately. Your shop connects directly to Stripe, sends secure payment links from jobs or CRM leads, and receives payouts from Stripe. Carvikon does not hold customer funds or add its own transaction fee; Stripe processing fees are separate.

One account covers all of them. Each shop gets its own board, its own stages and its own cars, and you switch between them from the same login. Every tier includes one shop. Each additional shop is $25 a month on Starter and Pro, and $99 on Elite, where it comes with its own AI receptionist and 150 AI minutes a month.

Yes. You name your own stages and set their order, so the board matches how the shop already runs. Nothing forces a car through a step it does not need.

There is no contract and no cancellation fee. Turn it off and the account runs to the end of the period you already paid for, then stops. Nobody will put you through a retention call.
