We sell time

Years of Work,
Done in Hours.

Most businesses build their systems one year at a time. A website one year. A booking tool the next. Someone to answer the phone after that. We already built all of it, and we run it every day. So the stack that takes you years takes us hours to switch on.

Same six pieces.
Switched on in one day.

The usual way, one piece a year. Then the wrinkle.

You did not start a business to spend Tuesday night on invoices.

Time is the only thing an owner cannot buy more of. Or at least it was. Every hour you spend on the phone, on the calendar, chasing a payment or guessing what the marketing did is an hour we can take off your plate. That is the whole product.

Every avenue

Where Your Week Goes, and What We Run Instead

Eight places a local business loses hours. We have a working system for each one. Turn on one or turn on all eight.

01

Getting Found

Where the hours go. Posting, listings, city pages, photos. It never ends.

What runs instead. Your site, your map profile and a page for every city and service you want, built in one pass and kept current.

02

Answering

Where the hours go. The phone rings while your hands are full. The job goes to whoever picks up.

What runs instead. A front desk that texts back every missed call right away, day or night, and hands the thread to a person when it matters.

03

Quoting and Booking

Where the hours go. Quotes typed twice. Approvals chased by phone. A calendar on a whiteboard.

What runs instead. Quotes the customer approves from their phone, and a schedule that fills from the approval.

04

Getting Paid

Where the hours go. Invoices sent late. Payments chased for weeks.

What runs instead. The invoice goes out when the work is done, and the customer pays by card from a link.

05

Following Up

Where the hours go. Reviews never asked for. Customers never called back.

What runs instead. Review asks, reminders and check-ins that go out on their own, in your name.

06

Content and Video

Where the hours go. A blog nobody has time to write. Training nobody filmed.

What runs instead. Articles, walkthrough videos and staff training made from your real work.

07

Reporting

Where the hours go. Guessing whether the marketing works.

What runs instead. One dashboard with calls, rankings and jobs, plus a report in your inbox every week.

08

Hosting and IT

Where the hours go. The site is down and nobody knows who to call.

What runs instead. Fast hosting and IT help from the same team that built the site.

One roof

The Companies Under WrinkleHQ

Each one started as a fix for hours we were losing ourselves. Now they run for other businesses too.

Clickflame

Sites, search and marketing

Websites, map profiles, city pages, content and video. The part of the stack that makes the phone ring.

Shop Desk

Software for auto repair shops

Quote, approve, schedule, invoice and collect from one screen, with a front desk that answers texts and missed calls.

RV Shop Desk

Software for RV service

The same desk, built around RV work. Longer jobs, bigger parts orders and customers who live on the road.

MechanicRank

A directory for drivers

Where drivers look for a repair shop they can trust, and where good shops get found by people who never knew their name.

T3CHS

Hosting and IT

Hosting and IT support for small business, plus news on the tools worth your time.

Vyebe

How we build, written down

Where we write up how all of this works, in plain words, so other builders can use it.

Supercanic

The proving ground

A working auto repair shop with real customers and real bays. Everything we sell runs here first. If it wastes a service advisor's time, it never reaches yours.

How it works

From Call to Running in a Day

  1. Hour 1

    We Find the Leak

    A thirty minute call. You tell us where your week goes. We tell you which pieces give the most hours back first, and what they cost, in writing.

  2. Hours 2 to 6

    We Switch It On

    We set the pieces up on your name, your number, your prices and your hours. You do not learn new software to get started. We do the setup.

  3. After That

    We Keep It Running

    We watch it, fix it and report on it every week. When you are ready for the next piece, it is already built.

Questions

Straight Answers

What does it mean that you sell time?

Every part of a business eats hours. Getting found, answering the phone, quoting, booking, getting paid, following up, making content, reading reports. We run a system for each one, so those hours come back to you.

Is it really hours and not months?

The setup is. Our stack is already built and already running for real businesses, so putting it to work for you is hours of setup, not months of building. Some results still take the time they take. Rankings and reviews grow over weeks, and we tell you what to expect on the first call.

Do I have to use everything?

No. Most owners start with the one part of the week that hurts most. That is often missed calls or quoting. You add the rest when you are ready.

What kind of businesses do you work with?

Local service businesses. Auto and RV repair is where we started, because we run a repair shop ourselves. We also work with home service trades, dental and medical offices, and other businesses that live on phone calls and appointments.

What does it cost?

It depends on which parts you turn on. After the first call we send a price in writing. Nothing is built and nothing is charged until you say yes.

What happens after I send the form?

Someone from our team calls you within one business day. The call is about thirty minutes. We ask where your week goes, and we tell you which pieces would give the most hours back first.
