Counter Check reviews a draft quote, repair order, or invoice before it goes out to the customer — flagging what's missing that this kind of job usually needs, and what's priced below a fair rate.
Get a job in — three ways
Copy the quote, RO, or invoice from your shop system and paste it in. Extra clutter from the copy-paste is fine — it's filtered out automatically.
Tap the dashed box, paste a screenshot (Ctrl+V), drag one in, or pick a photo from your files.
While viewing a quote or RO in AutoLeap, Tekmetric, or any browser-based shop system, click the extension icon. It reads the page, runs the review automatically, and opens straight to the finished result — no copy-paste, no second click. If something interrupts the automatic run, it falls back to opening Counter Check with the text already filled in, ready for you to run it yourself. Get it from the extension page — one click to install, nothing to configure.
Curious how it works before trying a real job? Load An Example runs a sample RO through the full review — it's a safe way to explore, and it never counts toward your tracked totals or history.
Reading your results
How complete and properly priced the job is, 0–100.
Related items or fees this kind of work usually needs that aren't on the quote yet — labeled High, Medium, or Low priority.
Line items already on the quote priced below a fair rate for your area.
Some figures come with a small badge:
Most numbers are grounded in something real — an actual figure on the document itself, or your own configured shop rate, margin, or diagnostic rate. When Counter Check had to fall back on general trade knowledge instead — no real anchor to work from — that figure gets this badge, so you know at a glance which numbers are worth a second look and which are solid.
Profit per billed hour
Formula: (revenue − estimated cost of parts and materials) ÷ total billed labor hours. Every review shows three figures side by side:
What the job earns exactly as drafted, before anything is touched.
Updates live, right in front of you, as you mark suggestions — reflects what you've actually applied on this job so far, not a theoretical number.
The ceiling — what the job would earn if every missing item and underpriced item were applied.
The goal is fixed at $225/hr for every shop (the equivalent in your local currency if you're outside Canada) — and it's a floor, never a ceiling. A job already earning more than that is doing better than the goal, not worse, and Counter Check will never suggest lowering a price or cutting hours to bring it back down. This isn't something you set — it's the same standard for every shop, on purpose.
Track what actually happened
On every suggestion, tap one:
Applied it as-is, skipped it, or entered what you actually charged. This isn't just for show — every decision feeds your real, tracked totals: This Month / This Year / Lifetime on the Review Job page, a live "Current" profit-per-hour figure, and a live "Tracked on this job so far" total right on the review itself. These are actual results, not estimates.
Done reviewing and don't want to click through everything individually? A progress readout ("3 of 8 marked") sits right under the score with an Ignore Everything Else button — one tap closes out anything you haven't touched yet.
If a review sits untouched for a while, you'll see a reminder next time you open Review Job — a quick way to close the loop on jobs you meant to come back to.
Your Settings
Everything here is optional, and you'll see a one-time popup for it right after you sign up — you can always come back and change any of it later:
Grounds every labor line against your real rate instead of a guess.
Profit as a % of the sale price — used to back out your real parts cost when a quote only shows what the customer pays. Not the same as markup.
Billed by time, not a flat fee — Counter Check estimates a realistic diagnostic time for the job and multiplies it by your rate whenever one's genuinely missing.
What you mostly work on — helps judge what's typical for a job at your specific shop, not just the trade in general.
Shop supplies and environmental/disposal fees are off by default for every shop, since many systems already bundle these differently. Turn either back on, or add anything else that keeps coming up, in Settings.
A personal link in Settings — share it with other shops, and it's tracked automatically when someone signs up through it.
History & Analytics
The History tab shows your last 10 reviews by default — tap any one to see the full result again, including whatever you already marked. A search box searches your entire history, not just those 10: by RO or invoice number, verdict text, or the pasted excerpt. Any review where Counter Check found a document number shows it right on the card, so a job is easy to find later just by its RO number.
On a larger screen, a live analytics panel shows your tracked dollars over time, where that money's coming from, your capture score trend, and your average profit-per-hour against the $225 goal.
