There are three plans available. Please see our plan comparison page for more details: https://webapp.autoauth.com/serviceCenterSignup

The first step is user signup. There is no payment until a user registers a service center (shop). This is done after logging in as a user.

Go to the AutoAuth home page at https://webapp.autoauth.com and click the Register button.

You will be taken to the registration form shown below:

You will need to create a unique username. The username must be at least 8 alphanumeric characters starting with a letter. Usernames are lowercase. Once you decide on a username you will enter the other fields including:
• First name
• Last name
• Email address
• Password
• Password confirmation

Once you accept the terms and conditions, click the “Signup” button. This will create your account and AutoAuth will send you an email to confirm your email address. You are required to click the link sent in email to confirm your email address. Once this is done, you can then log in to the AutoAuth portal to manage your account at the AutoAuth home page https://webapp.autoauth.com.

The AutoAuth Certified Technician program is a verification system to ensure that technicians working on vehicles have their identities verified. This ensures that sensitive repairs are only done by technicians that have been vetted and certified to use the AutoAuth system.

Currently, anyone accessing a Mercedes-Benz vehicle must be an AutoAuth Certified Technician. Moving forward, more OEMs will also have this requirement, as it is the best way to ensure that only certified technicians have access to a vehicle’s systems. Mercedes-Benz requires Certified Technicians to have a valid US ID.

In order to become an AutoAuth Certified Technician, you must either be the administrator of a Shop, or be a user that has been added to a shop. Standard accounts must purchase a certification for each user, but AutoAuth Plus accounts come with 5 certifications automatically! Certifications can be purchased by clicking on the “Shop Profile” (crossed wrenches) icon in the upper right corner and clicking on subscriptions.

Click on “Add Tech Certifications” and select the number of certifications you would like to purchase (one for each user), and then click “Add Tech Certifications” to pay for them and have them added to your certification count.

After you’ve purchased certifications, click on your initials in the upper right hand corner of the screen and click on “My Profile”. This will bring you to the “My Profile” page.

In the section titled “AutoAuth Certified Technician Status”, type your text-capable mobile phone number into the appropriate field and click “Send Verification Code”. This will send a text message to your mobile device with a confirmation code. Enter that code into the box labeled “Verification Code” and click on “Submit Verification Code” to verify your phone number, and a green check will appear next to your number.

Once you have verified your phone number, click on “Verify ID Document” and use your mobile phone to scan the QR code and complete the verification process. Make sure you have your Photo ID ready, as you will need to take photos of your ID. Once you complete that process, you will see the “AutoAuth Certified Technician” logo appear in your profile and you are all set! Verification is instant, so there is no wait period and you can start using your tool right away.
