Fewer Clicks. More Wrench Time.

Tekmetric is powerful, but it requires endless clicking to get simple tasks done. Creating an estimate can feel like filling out a tax return.

Valve strips away the clutter. We focus on the "Happy Path" — the fastest way to get a car in, approved, fixed, and paid for. What takes 10 clicks in Tekmetric takes 2 in Valve.

VS
Complexity kills productivity.
