Can LeadGasket replace AutoLeap?

No. AutoLeap runs the shop floor: estimates, repair orders, inspections, parts, labor guides, time clocks and payments. LeadGasket has none of that. It stands in for AutoLeap's Marketing Suite and marketing services: booking, two-way texting, review requests, campaigns and a website, plus web chat, missed-call text-back, funnels, pipelines and a social planner.

Does LeadGasket connect to AutoLeap?

No. Nothing syncs. Your customer list comes in from a spreadsheet, and new customers are added when they book, text, call or fill out a form. AutoLeap's integrations page offers its platform to partners it approves, and LeadGasket has not built a connection.

I'm on AutoLeap Essentials. How do I get two-way texting?

AutoLeap's pricing page lists two-way texting from Pro, $349 a month as of October 22, 2026; Essentials has one-way texting. LeadGasket Essential includes two-way texting at $97 a month from a LeadGasket number, plus usage. Most shops pay $20 to $75 a month in text, call and email usage.

What does AutoLeap's Marketing Suite cost?

AutoLeap does not publish a price for it, or for its Digital Marketing Services, as of October 22, 2026; both are quoted. The pricing page lists email and SMS campaigns, automated reminders, a CRM dashboard, website booking and Google Book Online under the Marketing Suite, while AutoLeap's CRM page describes retention tools as included. Ask AutoLeap for the price in writing and which plan it needs. LeadGasket's equivalent is Professional at $397 a month, with the price on our pricing page.

LeadGasket vs Shop-Ware

Q: Does either one answer the phone?

AutoLeap AIR answers calls 24 hours a day, captures the caller's details and places appointment requests on the AutoLeap calendar. It costs $1 a call with no minimum, or $99 a month for 200 calls and $199 for 500, and AutoLeap says it works with any shop software. LeadGasket texts back every missed call on every plan, and the Voice AI plan at $399 a month adds an AI receptionist that answers calls and books appointments, with everything in Professional included.

Q: What if it doesn't work out?

Email support@leadgasket.com within your first 30 days and we refund 110% of what you paid for your plan. Usage charges are not refunded, the guarantee is one refund per business, and a refund closes your account. After 30 days, cancel by emailing us at least 7 days before your renewal date.

Shop-Ware is a shop management system: estimates, repair orders, DVX digital inspections, parts and payments, with two-way texting built in. LeadGasket is a front-of-house platform: website, web chat, texting, booking, review requests, campaigns and phones. They overlap in Shop-Ware's CRM and Online Service Scheduler add-on, its Ultimate+ tier and its AI Receptionist. This page shows where, with prices from each company's own website on October 22, 2026.

The short version

LeadGasket does not replace Shop-Ware. Nothing in LeadGasket writes a repair order, runs a digital inspection, orders parts or clocks a technician. If you run Shop-Ware, you keep it. What LeadGasket competes with is Shop-Ware's CRM and Online Service Scheduler, a $249-a-month add-on for reminders, thank-you and review messages, offers and online booking, which also comes inside the $999 Ultimate+ tier along with a website, SEO, Google Ads enablement and call tracking, plus the AI Receptionist that Shop-Ware lists without a price.

If you want reminders that read service history and deferred work from the repair order, unlimited texting with no usage line, and one vendor for the bays and the follow-ups, Shop-Ware's add-on is the lower price and the tighter fit: $249 against $397 plus usage. LeadGasket is the better fit if you are on Startup and want two-way texting, online booking, a website, web chat and missed-call text-back for $97 a month plus usage; if you want the new-customer tools Shop-Ware's website does not list, a website and funnels you edit yourself, web chat for visitors, missed-call text-back, Facebook Messenger in the same inbox, sales pipelines, forms and a social media planner; or if you want a website and call tracking without moving to Ultimate+ at $999. Nothing syncs between the two: your customer list comes over as a spreadsheet, and your front desk adds new LeadGasket customers to Shop-Ware when the car comes in.

You want published prices for everything, including the AI receptionist, a 30-day 110% money-back guarantee and a 45-minute onboarding call.

What each costs, like for like

Monthly list prices from each pricing page on October 22, 2026. Example: a shop on Shop-Ware Pro ($389) that wants reminders, review requests, offers and online booking.

Shop-Ware only

Pro (repair orders, DVX, unlimited texting, MOTOR labor guide, parts catalog): $389

CRM + Online Service Scheduler add-on (reminders, review requests, offers, booking): $249

Per month, per shop: $638

Or Ultimate+ at $999, which also adds a website, SEO, Google Ads enablement (management fee and ad budget not included), call tracking and the Master analytics. Billed annually, Pro is $350 and Ultimate+ is $899; the add-on shows no annual price. Data migration and Accounting Link fees may apply.

Shop-Ware Pro plus LeadGasket

Shop-Ware Pro (repair orders, DVX, unlimited texting, labor guide, parts catalog): $389

LeadGasket Professional (texting, booking, website, web chat, missed-call text-back, review requests, campaigns, social planner, invoicing, call tracking): $397

Text, call and email usage (most shops): $20 to $75

Per month: $806 to $861

Essential at $97 covers booking, the website, web chat, missed-call text-back and a second texting line: $506 to $561 with Pro. Review requests and campaigns start on Professional.

On these list prices, Shop-Ware's $249 add-on is the cheaper way to put reminders, review requests, offers and online booking on top of Pro: $168 to $223 a month less than adding LeadGasket Professional, and its reminders read your repair orders. Against Ultimate+ at $999, Pro plus LeadGasket Professional is $138 to $193 a month less and adds web chat, missed-call text-back, funnels, pipelines, Messenger and the social planner, while Ultimate+ adds SEO, Google Ads enablement and the Master analytics. Texting on Shop-Ware Pro is unlimited with no usage line; LeadGasket bills text, call and email usage separately.

Running Shop-Ware and LeadGasket together

There is no switch here. Shop-Ware stays. Here is how the two run side by side:

1. Shop-Ware keeps estimates, repair orders, DVX inspections, parts, invoices and payments, and its texting about the repair in front of you.

2. Export your customer list from Shop-Ware as a spreadsheet: name, phone and email. We import it on your 45-minute onboarding call and set up your LeadGasket number, booking calendar, website, web chat and missed-call text-back.

3. Decide which number does what. On Startup, LeadGasket is your two-way texting. On Pro and up, Shop-Ware texts about the repair and LeadGasket handles web chat, booking, missed calls and marketing to new leads. Customers will see two numbers, so tell them.

4. If you also buy the CRM add-on, send review requests and reminders from one system only, so nobody is asked twice.

5. Nothing syncs. Shop-Ware's API connections are for partners it approves, so a connection would need Shop-Ware's agreement. Today, when a customer books or texts through LeadGasket, your front desk adds them to Shop-Ware when the car comes in.

What you give up compared with Shop-Ware's add-ons: reminders keyed to service history and deferred work, campaign reports tied to repair orders, unlimited texting with no usage line, and an AI receptionist that books into Shop-Ware's calendar. Reminders in LeadGasket run by date, from your calendar or the tags you put on customers.

Questions shops ask

Can LeadGasket replace Shop-Ware?

No. Shop-Ware runs the shop floor: estimates, repair orders, DVX inspections, parts, labor guides, time clocks and payments. LeadGasket has none of that. It stands in for Shop-Ware's CRM and Online Service Scheduler add-on and for part of Ultimate+: booking, review requests, campaigns, a website and call tracking, plus web chat, missed-call text-back, funnels, pipelines and a social planner.

Does LeadGasket connect to Shop-Ware?

No. Nothing syncs. Your customer list comes in from a spreadsheet, and new customers are added when they book, text, call or fill out a form. Shop-Ware's API connections are for partners it approves, and LeadGasket has not built a connection.

I'm on Shop-Ware Startup. How do I get unlimited two-way texting?

Shop-Ware's packages page lists limited two-way texting on Startup and unlimited texting from Pro, $389 a month as of October 22, 2026, with no usage charge. LeadGasket Essential includes two-way texting at $97 a month from a LeadGasket number, plus usage; most shops pay $20 to $75 a month in text, call and email usage. If texting is the only thing you need, Pro is $110 more than Startup and LeadGasket Essential is $117 to $172 with usage, so compare on the rest of each plan.

What does Shop-Ware's CRM cost?

$249 a month with the Online Service Scheduler, as a separate add-on, or inside Ultimate+ at $999 a month, as of October 22, 2026. It covers service reminders, thank-you messages and review requests, deferred-work reminders, "Miss You" campaigns and custom offers, with audiences built from visit history and deferred work. LeadGasket's equivalent is Professional at $397 a month plus usage, which does not read repair orders but adds web chat, missed-call text-back, funnels, pipelines, call tracking and a social planner.

Does either one answer the phone?

Shop-Ware's AI Receptionist answers calls, answers common questions, takes appointment requests, handles after-hours calls and hands off to a person when needed, connected to Shop-Ware's appointments. Its website lists no price or plan for it as of October 22, 2026. LeadGasket texts back every missed call on every plan, and the Voice AI plan at $399 a month adds an AI receptionist that answers calls and books appointments, with everything in Professional included.

What if it doesn't work out?
