Live Technician Tracking
The Hop Shop App lets you track your technician's location in real time from the moment they're dispatched to your location. Know exactly when they'll arrive, watch their progress on the map, and plan your time accordingly — no waiting around, no wondering, no phone calls to check on an ETA.
How Live Tracking Works
- Book your appointment through The Hop Shop App.
- When your technician is dispatched, you receive a notification.
- Open the app to see your technician's real-time location on a map.
- Track their progress as they travel to your location.
- Receive an arrival notification when your technician is nearby.
Why Live Tracking Matters
One of the most frustrating parts of any service appointment is not knowing when someone will actually show up. The Hop Shop's live tracking feature eliminates that uncertainty entirely. You can go about your day, step away from your vehicle, or simply stay informed — without making a single phone call.
What You Can See in Real Time
- Your technician's current location on a live map
- Estimated time of arrival based on current traffic
- Technician name and vehicle information
- Appointment details and service summary
- Direct in-app messaging with your technician if needed
The Transparency Advantage
Live tracking is part of The Hop Shop's broader commitment to transparency. Just as you see your repair estimate before work begins and your repair photos after it's done, live tracking ensures you're informed at every stage of the service experience — not just at the beginning and end.
