Auto restoration project tracking for long-running builds

TryStatus helps auto restoration shops give customers a live page for longer projects with clear stages, progress notes, and a simple tracking link.

Restoration customers care deeply about progress, but long timelines create a lot of “where are we at?” calls. A simple status page keeps expectations clearer.

  • Track stages like inspection, disassembly, parts sourcing, bodywork, paint, reassembly, final inspection, and ready.
  • Give customers a self-serve place to check progress between major updates.
  • Keep the customer-facing workflow separate from internal build notes and shop systems.

How it works

A customer-facing tracker for restoration milestones

TryStatus gives customers visibility without forcing your shop to expose every internal detail of a complex build.

  • Step 1

    Create the build page

    Start a tracker when the vehicle is accepted or the first restoration phase begins.

  • Step 2

    Share the tracking link

    Give the owner one place to check for major milestone progress.

  • Step 3

    Update major phases

    Move the project through inspection, disassembly, parts sourcing, bodywork, paint, reassembly, final inspection, and ready.
