How the migration works.

  1. 1

    Export your customer + vehicle list

    Every major shop tool has a customer/vehicle CSV export. Pull the full list — the importer dedupes safely on email or phone, so re-imports don't duplicate records.

  2. 2

    Sign up for Pitlane

    Create your account on /signup. The migration tool is part of the 30-day free trial, no credit card required to start.

  3. 3

    Settings → Migration → drop the CSV

    Auto-detect identifies the format. Native parsers exist for Tekmetric, Mitchell 1, and Shopware. The generic parser handles everything else by column name.

  4. 4

    Review and confirm

    Preview shows row counts, the column mapping, and any warnings (malformed phones, dropped rows with no first name). Click import — typical shop lists land in seconds.

  5. 5

    Connect Stripe and Google Business Profile

    Two more clicks: connect Stripe so customers can pay invoices, and link your Google Business Profile so review requests route to the right page.

Native importers

Column-aware parsers — zero manual mapping.

These three sources have purpose-built importers that recognize the export format by column fingerprint and map every field automatically.

Generic CSV

What every migration brings across.

Every importer pulls the same canonical shape — customers, vehicles, and a service-record stub. The shape Pitlane needs to start firing reviews, follow-ups, and reminders the day you go live.

Customer first/last name + phone + email
Mailing address (street, city, state)
Vehicles per customer (VIN, year, make, model, plate)
Last-known mileage per vehicle
Last service date as a service-record stub
Deduplication on email or phone — re-imports are safe

What doesn't transfer: full RO line items (Pitlane's RO writer is in beta as of May 2026), inventory, and parts catalogs. Most shops keep their existing SMS for those workflows and run Pitlane for the customer relationship.

Move your customer list. Keep what's working.

30-day free trial. No credit card. Run Pitlane and your existing shop tool side-by-side as long as you want — there's no cancellation clock here.
