Steer offers a suite of software tools for today's automotive repair shop. We combine a mix of software tools that a repair shop needs to run a highly profitable shop, in one user-friendly, cost-effective platform. Through the Steer suite, we allow the shop owner to get back to focusing on what matters, and to stop worrying about marketing and customer retention.

Steer began as an online directory for drivers to find a local mechanic. Fast forward to today, Steer has launched a complete Customer Relationship Management (CRM) marketing suite, complete with text messaging, email automation, direct mail integration, reputation management, appointment reminders, declined/recommended services, and many other features. We are always innovating and we are proud to be a leader in the automotive repair industry. In August 2024 Steer acquired AutoOps - the leader in modern, intelligent, and fully integrated scheduling software for auto repair shops. AutoOps allows customers to smoothly schedule through a shop's website and Google Business Profile.

View company profile

The journey of Steer began not in a boardroom, but out of a common frustration. In 2004, co-founder Parker Swift, new to Boston, found himself with a car full of dashboard warning lights and no trusted mechanic to turn to. The internet offered little help, pointing him only towards expensive dealerships. This personal struggle sparked a pivotal idea: what if there was a better way to connect car owners with reliable, independent auto repair shops? This question laid the groundwork for what would become a significant force for change in the automotive service industry. Two years later, in 2006, Swift, along with Bob Gendron, officially founded Mechanic Advisor. Their mission was clear: to improve the auto repair experience for both consumers and shop owners by creating a platform built on trust, transparency, and verified reviews.

For years, Mechanic Advisor served as a vital bridge, helping countless drivers find mechanics they could depend on. However, the founders recognized a deeper need within the industry. It wasn't just about finding a mechanic; it was about building lasting relationships. In 2015, the vision expanded towards creating a comprehensive software solution that would empower shops to communicate more effectively with their customers. This led to the development of a full-service marketing platform in 2018, enabling shops to engage customers through email, text, and even direct mail. The evolution culminated in June 2022 with the launch of Steer, a powerful automated retention marketing and communications platform. Steer encapsulates the company's long-standing mission, offering a suite of tools—from an intelligent online scheduler to reputation management and AI-driven communication—all designed to help auto repair shops thrive by fostering loyalty and delivering an exceptional customer experience. Today, with a global team and a steadfast commitment to innovation, Steer continues to guide the auto repair industry toward a more connected and efficient future.
