Product
The GM writes the check to GuestLot. Advisors live in PorterKey. The owner opens AccessReceipt from a text message and never sees anything else. BenchNote is a Pro module, not a fourth login.

AccessReceipt
Everything below hangs off those three states. If a feature does not move a car between them or explain what happened while it sat there, we did not build it.
PorterKey
PorterKey runs on the shop iPad or any browser on the front counter. Four screens: Today, check-in, keys, hand-back. Today only speaks when a human is needed — an after-hours exit, a Supercharger session, a car that is past its pickup time and still on your lot. Everything else stays quiet, which is the only way an alert keeps meaning anything in a shop.
Advisors sign in with their own accounts after you invite them, so a hand-back has a name on it. High-turnover front counters matter here: a new advisor should be able to run the first job without a training deck, and the layout is built for exactly that.
Today · Northline Tint & PPF
The whole screen. If Today is empty, the shop is fine.

Sample receipt. is a real value we print on purpose — a zero would be a claim we cannot support.
AccessReceipt
Shop name first, because the owner needs to know who is talking. Then the window: when your access started, when it ended, and the fact that it is off now. Then the facts of the visit — miles driven, after-hours lot exits, Supercharger sessions billed to their account, battery at hand-off.
It is a tokenized link, not a login. There is no owner account to create, no app to install, no upsell at the bottom. Most owners read it once, feel fine, and never think about it again — which is the entire point. Owners who want more detail before the appointment can read the owner’s page.
Also in the box
Schedule the appointment and the owner authorizes before they leave home. Access stays dormant until the car reaches your lot, activates on arrival, and auto-revokes at pickup. The owner keeps their key card and walks in with nothing to do. Early drop-offs stop being a hole in the record.
VIN decode and NHTSA recall check at intake, plus the collision and mechanical workflows and the Service Mode checklist. Useful when the ticket runs for weeks and the car goes through calibration, not when you are cutting film for ninety minutes.
Scope
A short list, kept short on purpose. Every item here is something we were asked for and decided against.
How it works
The five steps, with the artifacts each one produces.
Pricing
$179 Standard, $349 Pro. Per location, not per vehicle.
Security and limits
The Tesla Fleet API constraints we publish rather than bury.
For PPF shops
Multi-day jobs, frunk access, and why Valet Mode breaks the work.

Glossary
Custody window, virtual key, lot watch, defined once.
Fourteen days, no card, one location. The fastest way to evaluate this is to check in the next Tesla that pulls up.
