Software for garages and workshops
The main dealer feel, without the main dealer
Photo. Price. Authorisation. Then the work.
A franchised dealer sends a video of the technician pointing at the worn pads and a priced list the customer taps to approve from their desk. You do the same work for less money and ring somebody who cannot picture it. That gap is presentation, not skill — and it is the part you can close this afternoon.
1 · Show them
Photo or video of the corroded line, the split boot, the worn pads — taken on the phone in your hand, saved against the job and dated. Nobody argues with the picture.
2 · Price it there
Parts and labour added on the spot, from your own price list, without ringing the office to ask what you charge for it.
3 · Get the yes
Sent to whoever is paying, agreed on their phone while they are at work, and recorded against the job. Declined is recorded too, and the photos stay either way.
The evidence outlives the decision. If they say no, the photographs stay on the job — which is exactly when they matter, because a declined repair is the one that comes back. And if the yes needs a part you have not got, one press puts the bay back in the diary rather than leaving a car on a ramp for a week.
Built for how a workshop actually fills up
The bay is the bottleneck, not the diary
“Need parts”, from the ramp
The condition it came in
Mobile work, if you do it
And they come back
Who it suits
Independent garages, MOT stations, bodyshops and paint, tyre and exhaust fitters, mobile mechanics, valeting and detailing, agricultural and plant workshops, and garden machinery service centres. If the work arrives, sits somewhere while it is done, and leaves when it is paid for, this is the shape.
Questions, answered
Can I book by ramp or bay rather than by mechanic?
Yes, and it is a separate question from who is working. One mechanic can be across four machines, so overlapping bookings are allowed where you want them — but a ramp holds one car, and a booking that needs a bay you have not got is flagged whatever the mechanic's day looks like.
What about the extra work we find once it is up on the ramp?
Price it there and send it for authorisation. The person paying agrees it before you touch it, and the approval is recorded against the job with the time and the name — so a bill at collection is never the first the customer has heard of it.
Can I record that we are waiting on a part?
Yes, with the date the supplier promised and, separately, the date it actually arrived — because "that part was three weeks late" is a fact about a supplier that a status cannot carry. The job comes off the diary while it waits, so it is not holding an afternoon it cannot use, and it stays on a list of work that still needs booking rather than quietly disappearing.
Can I photograph the car before we start?
Yes. Photos, video and voice notes saved against the job and dated, internal until you choose to send them. That is what answers a claim that a mark was already there, and it is the same record you can send the customer when the work goes well.
Does it handle MOT or service reminders?
Yes — a service interval puts the customer on a call list before it falls due, with a lead time you set, so there is time to order parts and ring them rather than finding out on the morning. Work that genuinely repeats on a fixed cycle can book itself instead.
Can I take payment when they collect?
Yes. Invoice on completion, take the card there and then, or send a payment link before they arrive so the car is paid for when they walk in.
