Can I Track My Technician in Real Time?
Yes — The Hop Shop App provides live technician tracking from the moment your technician is dispatched to your location. You can see their real-time location on a map, track their progress as they travel to you, and receive an arrival notification when they're nearby. No waiting around, no wondering, no phone calls to check on an ETA.

Why This Matters
One of the most frustrating parts of any service appointment is not knowing when someone will actually show up. Live tracking eliminates that uncertainty entirely. You can go about your day, step away from your vehicle, or plan your schedule around an accurate ETA — without making a single phone call.
