Migrate from AutoLeap
Move from AutoLeap to PeakSpitz, safely.
Moving off AutoLeap should feel like restoring from a backup, not a leap of faith. Your garage management tool data is read into a PeakSpitz environment of your own, checked against your real numbers, and run in parallel — while AutoLeap keeps running, untouched, the whole time. Here is exactly how, step by step.
AutoLeap is a well-rounded cloud platform for general repair shops, and its calendar-led scheduling, estimate-to-repair-order flow, digital vehicle inspections and tight QuickBooks sync are genuine strengths. The usual reason teams migrate is consolidation: because AutoLeap typically pushes accounting out to QuickBooks, finance lives in a second system that has to be synced and reconciled. PeakSpitz replaces that split with real double-entry accounting and VAT built into the same platform as scheduling, repair orders, inventory, a storefront and payments — so there is no external accounting sync to maintain, and unlimited users on every plan.
The safe way to leave AutoLeap
Work down the list at your own pace. Nothing here is irreversible, and your current system stays live throughout.
- 1
Before you touch anything — get a backup you own
Get a copy of your data out of AutoLeap that you control — a file held on your side, not just a setting inside the system. Confirm in your contract that you have the right to export, and note any renewal, notice or lock-in dates so the timing stays on your terms.
- 2
Export your data
Pull customers, vehicles, jobs and parts out of AutoLeap in the most complete format it offers — CSV, spreadsheet, or an account/API export. Take the history too, not just open items: past records, documents and contacts are worth keeping.
- 3
Send us a sample
Before you commit, send us a representative slice — a handful of customers, a few recent orders or bookings, part of your catalogue. We map it into PeakSpitz and show you the restored result, so you see exactly how your garage management tool data lands before you move the rest.
- 4
See what maps to what
We line AutoLeap up against PeakSpitz: customers, vehicles, jobs and parts become customers, catalogue, orders, documents and ledgers in one joined-up system. Anything without an obvious home is flagged early, not discovered late.
- 5
Bring it in — a read-only restore
Your data is read into a fresh, isolated PeakSpitz environment of your own. Nothing inside AutoLeap is touched, changed or switched off — it keeps running exactly as it is.
- 6
Verify against your numbers
Before you trust it, reconcile the totals — balances, counts, tax and revenue — against what AutoLeap shows today. The numbers have to match before anything goes live.
- 7
Run both in parallel
Keep AutoLeap live and run PeakSpitz alongside it for as long as you like. Compare like for like, move one area across first, and build trust before you depend on it. No big-bang cutover, and no deadline from us.
- 8
Cross over and decommission — on your terms
Switch over only when PeakSpitz has earned it. Keep your AutoLeap export archived as a safety net, and close the old subscription when you are ready — not a moment before.

What to watch when leaving AutoLeap
- ⚠
Because AutoLeap typically keeps the general ledger in QuickBooks, your chart of accounts, journals and tax history live there — not in AutoLeap. Decide deliberately what comes into PeakSpitz accounting as opening balances versus what stays archived in QuickBooks.
- ⚠
Labour rates and parts markup are a configuration decision. Re-enter them as pricing rules in PeakSpitz rather than expecting a matrix import, and use the move to review rather than inherit them.
- ⚠
Scheduling is AutoLeap's strong suit: recurring appointments, technician calendars and reminder automations are rebuilt rather than migrated. Re-create the recurring bookings and any reminder rules on the new system.
- ⚠
Digital vehicle inspection templates and their photos are re-created and archived — rebuild the checklists in PeakSpitz and keep the historical inspection media as an archive.
Common questions about leaving AutoLeap
We sync AutoLeap to QuickBooks — what happens to our accounting?
PeakSpitz has real double-entry accounting with VAT built in, so the shop-to-QuickBooks sync goes away entirely. Historical QuickBooks data can stay archived there, with balances brought into PeakSpitz as opening figures — you run one system instead of two that reconcile.
Will our appointment calendar and reminders move over?
Scheduling is one of AutoLeap's strengths. Appointments map onto PeakSpitz appointment bookings, and recurring bookings plus reminder rules are re-created on the new system rather than migrated — plan a short rebuild of the calendar.
What about our digital inspections?
Inspection templates are rebuilt in PeakSpitz and the photos are archived. The checklists re-create quickly; historical inspection media is kept as an archive rather than a live import.
As much help as you want
Do it yourself, or have us map your fields, run the import and reconcile the result with you. Support is a ladder — you start where you are comfortable and step up only where an area needs it.
