The features that matter for a powersports shop, done right.
Every screen, every field, every workflow is designed for motorcycles, ATVs, and watercraft. No "customize it yourself" — it just fits.
Search the full Parts Unlimited catalog, check availability, and add parts to a work order without leaving the app. No tab-switching, no copy-paste part numbers.
When a job status changes, customers get notified automatically. No one has to remember to send an update. The shop looks professional without extra effort.
Send an invoice, customer taps a link, pays via Stripe — done before they even arrive for pickup. Reduces awkward counter moments and gets cash moving faster.
Customers approve estimates from any device, no login required. You get the green light faster. No phone tag, no printing, no PDFs in email threads.
MotoDesk was designed by an actual mechanic and service writer. Every decision was made with a real shop in mind — not a committee who'd never picked up a wrench.
"The old tool worked for any shop. That sounds good until you realize it works great for no shop. MotoDesk knows what a powersports job looks like before you even start typing."
