Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm a Rails dev and auto mechanic by trade. I wanted to build shop software for independent repair shops — work orders, vehicle files, invoicing. But I hit a wall: nobody installs a new CRM until they already get jobs from somewhere. So I shipped the front door first. FindGear is a public catalog of workshops and self-employed techs (auto, moto, diesel, agri, marine). Search by city and job type → send a request from the listing → they manage it in a dashboard → after they mark the job done, the customer can leave a review (we approve reviews before they go public). What works today: • Listed cards with tags, photos, price list, phones • Search (text, city, distance) • Customer requests + simple status board for the shop • Reviews only after a completed request (on purpose — no fake 5-stars) • Unclaimed shop pages imported from public map data, with a "is this your workshop?" claim path What is not live: job board, shop CRM, Stripe, paid plans. The catalog is free. The ask: If you own or know an independent shop — would you claim a page for inbound requests, or is Google/Facebook already "good enough"? And for cold start: keep importing public listings, or pick one metro and walk into shops by hand? Thanks for reading 🙏
