Learn how the California-based shop improved its close rate, increased shop sales, and generated more five-star reviews using AutoLeap.
Mike Del Toro and his brother have worked in the automotive business for over 20 years. Their California-based shop D&S Automotive has done it all, from oil changes and basic maintenance to general repairs and complete engine rebuilds.
Evolving over the years, they now run the only smog test and repair station in Jurupa Valley! It took a lot of hard work and certifications to earn that distinguished title. Their specialized inspections have become the focal point of the business, with the shop completing over 300 diesel and gas smog inspections in 2023.
A unique shop deserves unique software! But for Del Toro and D&S, the journey to AutoLeap didn’t happen immediately. The business duo first experienced the highs and lows of other shop management platforms.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Mike says he wanted to put the pedal to the floor with his business growth. Organized management of customer data and business revenue became a top priority for the D&S duo.
Mike came across AutoLeap and a different shop management platform, deciding to try the other system first. After using the alternative software for some time, Mike says he found it:
With these limitations in mind, they were ready to make the switch. AutoLeap made that potentially stressful transition seamless for D&S! Mike says they were held by the hand and supported throughout the setup. AutoLeap’s team even migrated the shop’s customer data without issue.
In just a short time using AutoLeap, Mike and his brother have experienced:

“The way AutoLeap took the extra time to explain to me how the software would benefit our shop was awesome.” The dedication and transparency from their team from day one was exceptional.

With AutoLeap, Mike says he can now spend the time he devoted to manual estimates and simple tasks to interact more with customers., build genuine relationships, and attract new customers.

Mike sees a clear path forward to incorporate other AutoLeap features and take his business to a new level. “There are a lot of functionalities we haven’t used yet that are there for the future.”

AutoLeap helps D&S attract higher-value customers. “With AutoLeap, we’re able to sell higher ticket items more easily. I can see the type of clientele we’re attracting and retaining with follow-up services.”

Mike appreciates the ability to automate simple tasks like texting clients to request a Google review. Those minor responsibilities can add up over a week,, “That stuff takes a lot of time.”

With AutoLeap, Mike says he doesn’t even need his partner there most of the time. He can access customer info and get full context on a vehicle’s needs within the platform.
Since going full-time with AutoLeap’s software, D&S Automotive has:
That’s not all! Nearly 65% of customers invoiced in August were first-time customers at D&S Automotive.
Mike mentions several stand-out AutoLeap features. Those include:
Mike loves seeing all the parts from different vendors in one place. That streamlined access helps accelerate how fast he can send out estimates. “With AutoLeap, I don’t feel burnt out at the end of the day or rushed sending estimates.”
