In Inspections, you can now enter precise measurements for brake disc thickness, tire tread depth, and tire pressure. We’ve also made several workflow improvements to our NexPart integration and expanded the list of supported suppliers you can order from. And that’s just the beginning—be sure to read through all the updates below!

Measurements in Inspection Items

Capture detailed insights during inspections — and present them clearly to your customers

Technicians can now enter numeric values like tread depth or brake pad thickness directly into inspection items. These measurements auto-format with correct units and display clearly on customer-facing reports, helping shops build greater trust with real, visual proof of vehicle condition. No setup required — we’ve added measurement fields intelligently where they matter most. The result? Faster inspections, more transparency, and a professional experience your customers will appreciate.

Mandatory Fields for Inspections

Encourage complete inspections and increase your chances to sell more services

We’re introducing Mandatory Fields to help your team stay consistent and thorough during inspections. This feature is off by default but can be enabled in Settings > Inspection Settings > Pro mode.

Once turned on, key checklist items — including Dash Indicator Lights, Brake Pads, Tire Condition, Brake Fluid, Battery, Coolant, and Engine & Cabin Filters — will need to be completed before Technicians can mark inspections as done.

If any are missed, Service Managers will receive a warning and can still choose to send the inspection to the customer. Most of these items relate to vehicle safety or help reduce shop liability — making them essential for high-quality inspections.

Magic Parts Lookup with Nexpart Catalog Support

Find compatible inventory parts and order them online from your Nexpart suppliers

Magic Part Lookup now supports the Nexpart catalog, making it easier to find compatible inventory parts using vehicle data. With this integration, you can now access a broader range of Nexpart exclusive suppliers like PartSource, Lordco etc – expanding your part coverage.

To streamline sourcing, go to Settings > Integrations > Magic Services and select Nexpart (or PartsTech) as your primary catalog provider. If no match is found with the preferred catalog provider, the system will automatically fallback to the secondary provider (PartsTech or Nexpart) to ensure you get the right part.

Ongoing Improvements: We’re working closely with Nexpart to enhance their catalog data for certain suppliers (e.g., PartSource and Lordco) which will improve inventory matching. Stay tuned for more updates!

Add Taxes to Online Purchase Orders

Make your POs and supplier invoices match seamlessly

Until now, online Purchase Orders placed through Nexpart, PartsTech, and other suppliers didn’t capture tax amounts, leading to potential discrepancies between AutoLeap and supplier invoices. With this update, you can now set default tax settings for Parts and Tires, adjust taxability at the individual item level, and easily review or edit tax amounts before finalizing the PO. This ensures your totals match supplier invoices, keeping your reports and accounting exports clean, consistent, and easy to reconcile.

Improvements

Tire Storage Enhancements (Beta)

Save time with automatic descriptions and improved customer-facing documents

We’ve made tire storage faster and more informative. Descriptions are now auto-filled for tires-in and tires-out, saving your team time. Tread depth measurements appear on all customer-facing documents, visually highlighting in case any tire needs repair. It’s a smoother, smarter experience for both your shop and your customers.

Customer Search experiences

Search customers using primary and secondary contacts

When creating Repair Orders or Appointments, you can now search using both primary and secondary contacts saved in the system. This helps ensure you find the correct customer right away and avoid creating duplicate records — making your workflows faster, cleaner, and more accurate.
