Manufacturer repair data, priced into the job
Guessing labour is how a workshop loses money quietly. TecRMI gives BOOKAR the manufacturer's own repair and maintenance data — labour times, service schedules and technical information — for the vehicle actually on the job.
That turns an estimate into a calculation. Pick the work, and the time comes from the manufacturer's data rather than from memory, with your own markup bands applied on top.
Live integration — TecRMI data is available as a subscription on your BOOKAR account.

What TecRMI brings to BOOKAR
It is the difference between quoting a job and pricing one — and between servicing a car and servicing it to schedule.
OE labour times
Manufacturer labour times for the exact vehicle, so estimates are built on published data rather than on what the last one took.
Your own markup bands
OE times can be adjusted with your own markup bands, so real-world conditions and your workshop's rate are reflected in the price.
Maintenance schedules
The manufacturer's service schedule for the vehicle — main works and additional works — so a service is specified properly rather than approximated.
Repair and technical data
Technical information behind the job, so the technician is not switching to a separate subscription mid-repair.
Digital service book
The TecRMI Service Book lets you file manufacturer-compliant service records from the job itself, without manufacturer portal logins.
Identified from the VRM
The vehicle is resolved from the registration already on the job, with VIN filtering where a registration alone is ambiguous.
From the job to TecRMI and back
Four steps, all of them inside the work your team is already doing.
Vehicle identified
The registration on the job resolves to a specific vehicle, so the data returned is for that build rather than a model range.
Pick the work
Choose the service or repair. TecRMI returns the manufacturer's times and the schedule that applies.
Price it
Labour is calculated from the OE time with your markup bands and your labour rate applied.
Record it
Where the Service Book is enabled, the completed service can be filed as a manufacturer-compliant record from the same job.
Why garages turn it on
Under-quoted labour does not show up as a loss. It shows up as a workshop that is busy and not making money.
- Estimates built on manufacturer data, not on memory
- Consistent pricing between different members of staff
- Services specified to the manufacturer's schedule
- Technical data in the same system as the job card
- Labour recovery you can actually measure
- A defensible answer when a customer queries the time
About TecRMI
TecRMI is TecAlliance's repair and maintenance information product — the labour times, service schedules, technical data and repair instructions that a large part of the European aftermarket relies on.
It is the data set that lets an independent garage work to the same specification as a franchised dealer, and in BOOKAR it also underpins the digital service book.

Common questions about TecRMI
Is TecRMI included in BOOKAR?
TecRMI data is available as a subscription on your BOOKAR account. Talk to us about what your workshop needs and we will explain how it is priced.
Can I adjust the OE labour times?
Yes. BOOKAR supports markup bands on OE times, so you can reflect real-world conditions and older vehicles without abandoning the manufacturer's baseline.
How does this relate to the digital service book?
The TecRMI Service Book is built on the same relationship. It lets you file manufacturer-compliant service records from the job — there is a full feature page on it.
